Believe it or not, you can whip up a decent meal in just 90 seconds. Here are my top quick meal ideas. Many of these rely on pre-prepped arugula from the grocery store, which, while not the highest quality, is incredibly convenient.
- Grab a slice of bread and slather on enough mayo to make some Trader Joe’s arugula stick. Top it with deli roast beef and a slice of cheese—pre-sliced cheese works just fine. Mustard is optional. Enjoy it as is, or for a more filling option, add another slice of bread. And if someone tells you homemade mayonnaise is easy, feel free to remind them that it’s also simple to ignore their advice.
- Swing by a Chinese restaurant for some takeout rice. Open a can of salmon and place it atop the rice. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle some salt, and top with the ever-ready arugula!
- Heat up some refried beans with cheese in the microwave. Stir in salsa and wrap it all in a tortilla that you’ve warmed over the stove.
- Microwave some rice and mix in grated cheese. While it won’t rival a gourmet risotto, it’ll do the trick without anyone complaining.
- Toast some bread, butter it generously, and top with sliced avocado and a pinch of salt for a quick treat.
- Make a stop at the store for a rotisserie chicken. Devour it with your hands while enjoying a glass of white wine—just make sure it’s in a mug to avoid spills.
- Salads can elevate any meal, especially when you’re short on time. For a quick salad, toss some arugula in a bowl, drizzle with oil and vinegar, and dig in. (And honestly, salad tongs are overrated—just use a fork).
Also, if anyone claims they find cooking relaxing, ask them if they find it as soothing as cracking open a cold beer and watching their favorite show.
