My hubby found some meat on sale so I prepped homemade loose meat “white castles”, hamburger patties(tonight) and tomorrow we will have tacos. I love food prepping!! Nothing wrong with easy peasy. A mommas got to do what a mommas got to do. ❤
Our go-to lazy meal is frozen taquitos with canned enchilada sauce and shredded cheese on top, heated through according to the taquito package heat & timing.
I like to make turkey stuffing meatloaf. Kids love it. Take a pound of lean ground turkey, or ground chicken, in a bowl. Mix one egg and a package of instant stuffing mix with ground meat. I like cornbread stuffing. I also add a splash of milk. Put the mixture in a greased loaf pan, and place in oven at 350 F for 30 minutes. I drizzle the top with ketchup. So good. It's funny. I like stuffing mix in this, but at Thanksgiving I like homemade stuffing. 😂
My go to I’m not in the mood to cook meals is what we call CRV. I put 2 cups of uncooked rice in the instant pot, add the amount of water needed plus an extra cup with seasonings added, 2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables, and 1 large can of chicken (with the broth. Put the lid on and 5 minutes later we have dinner. You can stuff into tortillas if you prefer. Vary the seasoning to your preference.
Spaghetti! I already have hot Italian turkey sausage cooked and in the freezer, Romaine cleaned and chopped in the fridge, our favorite marinara in the pantry and garlic bread in the freezer. Dinner is ready in minutes 😃
Aldi has a green bag of chicken that is parmesan crusted chicken and it is bomb! We use if we chicken parmesan, chicken alfredo and in wraps so delicious!😊
We call our go to I don't want to cook meal "guilty pleasure". It's a box of Mac & Cheese with a can of Hormel.turkey chili mixed in. Essentially chili mac If we are super hungry we might add some slices of hot dogs and a bit more cheese. Growing up my daughter actually thought that it was a real name of a recipe and told her teacher about it. Both hilarious and embarrassing!
I keep a bag of frozen General Tso chicken and some dumplings in my freezer for those kind of nights. Easy to make with some rice but also tasty. Great video!
One of my "not really cooking" meals is pasta with jarred sauce, random veggies thrown in, and frozen turkey meatballs. Another easy meal is sloppy joes made with ground turkey, bell pepper and BBQ sauce along with frozen sweet potato fries and steamed green beans. Thanks for sharing some of your quick dinners!
Prebreaded protein (like chicken tenders, fish, chicken nuggets, etc) with some frozen fries and a bag of seasoned frozen broccoli. All on the same pan cooking in the oven. It ain't fancy but it feeds the troups on rough days 😅
Loved the comments: “ No one complained, which I always love!” “ You don’t have to get fancy every night of the week…no one’s going to give you a trophy for doing that” “ My family likes them more and complains less ( for simple thrown together dinners)! Oh my…so true! We’ve had breakfast for dinner often (pancakes, freezer waffles, precooked bacon, eggs) and there’s nothing wrong with paper plates… one thing I always did was occasionally have candles on the table and the dimmer switch lowered the chandelier to bring a mood and quietness. My kids always felt dinner was special and eating as a family was priority. We also had E.O.F.T. nights ( every one for themselves) where they make whatever they wanted and loaded their dishes in the sink and cleaned up after themselves while Mom went to had quiet time.
My 'I don't want to cook' meal is fried spam, a bag of sidekicks and a can of peas (for health, of course, lol😆) Its super junky, but its the familys favorite! Why do they always want to eat???? 🙄😵😆
I’m even more lazy! I use canned chicken 😳, chop some onions, bbq seasoning and bbq sauce, add some pickles and extra bbq sauce on the sandwich….boom 20 min later-time to eat 😋
When I don't want to cook, I mean I don't want to cook. Some of yalls comments and this video were still too much effort on nights I don't want to cook. My no-cook meals are cereal, chips and a few slices of lunch meat (not even a sandwich, we are talking minimal effort here but still getting protein), kraft mac and cheese (even though it's technically cooking) and frozen pizzas on the pizzaz.
I like to make a soup (Cheese Tortellini in Light Broth from Giada de Laurentiis, for ease of googling) when I don't want to cook or my stomach is upset. I follow her instructions for the most part, using Great Value cheese tortellini and Better than Bouillon, though I don't bother making parmesan crisps.. I just add a little parmesan. It's stupid simple and it has a pretty amazing effect on my sensitive stomach, and it's actually really good. Another recent favorite when I can't think about cooking--I throw some chicken breasts into the crockpot with two packages of chicken gravy mix and a can of cream of chicken soup, and season it as desired for a little more interest. Cook on low for a few hours and serve with mashed potatoes--Bob Evans when the anti-cooking feeling is particularly bad. Everyone likes this and it is almost zero effort. My family also gets excited over silly stuff like hot dogs and fries, or Aldi green bag chicken turned into chicken parmesan. Or, a box of Kraft mac and cheese, some Tyson chicken tenders and a random canned/frozen veggie--that's one of my husband's particular favorites.
And yes!!! The simple meals always go better over here too. I’m always like…”why did I just spend 2 hours of my life in the kitchen when they are happier with things that take like 20 min tops!?!”
When I don’t want to cook-I have sloppy joes & fries, breakfast for dinner, or I put something in the crockpot. Quick, Easy and everyone is happy plus I saved money by not eating out! BTW- You always have the best looking glasses! 👓 Have a great week and thanks for the easy dinner ideas!
Shortcut Meals: 1) breaded fish or shrimp in the air-fryer for fish or shrimp po’boys 2) pasta salad- great way to clean out the fridge. Cook any shape pasta. Dress while still warm with Italian, Greek or any vinaigrette-style dressing. Toss any veggies. Add leftover cooked meat or salami/pepperoni or even cut up deli meat. Feta cheese or fresh mozz is amazing but also great without cheese. 3) we also have a pan fried dumplings (ones from Costco) with sauce included and steamed rice. 4) canned biscuits, fried egg and bacon sandwich 5) Greek chicken pitas/naan- I usually buy 2-3 family packs of chicken breast and grill them on the weekend on the Blackstone. Once cooled, I portion in cooked chicken packets and throw in the freezer. It is easy to pull out a pack and make lots of things based on the flavoring: -cashew chicken -teriyaki chicken -bbq chicken -taco seasoned chicken -Greek chicken -orange chicken Possibilities are endless and really makes the not cooking dilemma a little more bearable since it will reheat in the sauce with little effort.
I really love how down to earth and real you are. You are so honest and never seem like you’re trying to preach anything or fit into a certain category. You just cook and share great food but also stay realistic. Your videos make me feel normal. ❤
Your meals turned out so yummy looking. Good ideas. Thanks!! My family will cook when I'm so tired and/or full of pain, with having Rheumatoid Arthritis. I'm thankful my husband likes to cook! Soup and sandwiches are great and BLT's. Love them!
Now that I am an empty nester, I like baked potato and salad nights, soup and salad nights, etc. Also, those Bare chicken patties at Costco makes amazing chicken sandwiches or cut it up on a salad. When the kids were younger i made sheet pan meals a lot. Easy and it didn't take long to cook. I loved my crockpot meals too.
I am totally team coleslaw or team potato salad especially if you get it from the deli! I know it cost a little bit more to purchase it already pre-done but when it’s time to save on sanity, sometimes you gotta pay a little price! Great video. This reminds me, I’m gonna pull out a pork Roast tomorrow throw it in my clock crockpot allow that to cook it for me add some barbecue sauce, and I think my kids are going to have homemade french fries and pulled barbecue pork for dinner tomorrow! We’re just gonna open a can of baked beans as a side, and go easy for dinner. Let the crockpot cook for me!
My supermarket sells 2 versions of Chinese dumplings in the Bistro area. I got 12 for $6. Chinese restaurants sell 8 for over $7. I browned them in a skillet and then steamed them for a few minutes. Served with the dipping sauce they give you to have with it. Delicious and quick dinner. My son doesn’t like dumplings so I got him a chicken bacon ranch flatbread. He loves them. If I do not feel like cooking I throw pasta in my instant pot and use Rao’s sauce. Some parmesan cheese and put some Italian bread on the side.
We do 'Fancy' ramen with potstickers as a super easy meal. I usually have some sort of cooked meat in my freezer: smoked pork, beef brisket, rotisserie chicken, etc. We warm that up and add whatever veggies we have to the cooked ramen: green onions, spinach, even leftover veggies. Sometimes we use hardboiled eggs. 🤷♀️ Super easy and can definitely use up some of the leftovers. I do something similar with pasta, chicken, steamed frozen broccoli with a jar of Alfredo sauce or pesto sauce. So easy.
Just found your channel and love it! I actually worked with Warby Parker when the company was starting out of an eyeglass lab in Farmingdale New York. I set them up on their shipping and return process as I work for U P S. So exciting to see how successful they have become.
My go to meals are tacos and spaghetti but for nights i need something super quick we do pizza quesadillas or chicken patty sandwiches. What kind of bread are you using for the BLTs?? Its like a really yummy soft bread! I love to try all the different kinds. Nature own brand has a loaf of Hawaiian bread i want to n try!
I like to make a quick tuna fish salad with onion, mayo & celery. Served with a salad of cottage cheese, some sour cream to thin it out, chives or green onion, iceburg lettuce, cucumber & radishes. Or a salad nicoise. For that I use Italian style tuns packed in olive oil, drained. Add steamed green beans, small boiled potatoes halved, kalamata olives. Vinaigrette dressing of lemon juice, olive oil, dijon, garlic, s&p. Serve chilled.
Jen everything you make to eat is fabulous. Easy or not. You are inspiring with easy can-do meals. Can you swing by the Utah and make me something delicious for dinner LOL
You do WAY more than me lol, but I don't have kids yet lol. When I don't feel like cooking, I'll make quesadillas or breakfast for dinner. French toast for 2 is really easy.
Costco has great chicken parm in the freezer. They are delicious. 20 mins on 390 in the ninja air fryer. So good and stuffed with marinara and cheese. Also, nobody needs to be a hero. Just feed the family ❤
I make French onion soup (good ol Campbell’s). Bake a take and bake baguette and slice the baguette and put in soup bowls and melt cheese on top in the oven for French onion soup. Then we usually will have tuna salad on the remaining baguette slices as our protein.
You crack me up. Whispering - I’m going to use the processed food. As far as negative comments - must be bots/not real people. Shame you have to deal with that. You are awesome.
I keep a bag of frozen General Tso chicken and some dumplings in my freezer for those kind of nights. Easy to make with some rice but also tasty. Great video!
My go to when there is nothing else to cook is to make almost any kind of sandwich and serve it topless (not me! the sandwich!) with cheese melted over it. Tuna or cold cuts or egg salad. Melt cheese over it under the broiler and call it dinner. Very kid friendly, too.
I just told my doc today that I have been sluggish for a couple of weeks. Blood good , oh yah! I live in Wisconsin. I think it is the fact we still have not seen the sun much and the highs have not hit 50 yet😥
I love how real this is. My kids are still pretty young (7 and 3) so more often than not, the simpler the better...is Kira still pescatarian? lots of meat in these dishes...
You should try bacon n peanut butter sandwiches. The first time we had them was at a booth during a taste of Colorado. They served on a white hotdog bun pb and bacon. The pb gets all melty and the soft white bun ...its so good.
Your thumbnail pic is EPIC!
The face I literally make too 😂😭
Definitely the face I make along with a “uhhhhh” 😂
That's how I feel.
My “I’m not cooking supper tonight” meal is breakfast. I make homemade biscuits, bacon and fried eggs and it hits the spot every single time.
Breakfast for dinner is my go to when I don’t feel like cooking
My go to is usually a baked potato and top with whatever I can find 😅
Everything you made looked great. Hope you have a good week Jen

Airfry bacon is a game changer in terms of clean up and mess… I never fry bacon on the stove anymore
BLT's is always a good go-to for me on nights I just don't want to think about making what's on my meal plan 😂.
It's the weather a friend told me Lol...
I always keep a frozen pizza in the freezer for nights like these 😂

Well I know what to make with the frozen raviolis that’s been giving me the side eye cause they’re getting old 😂
Often, I get more compliments on the simple meals too. I think we put too much pressure on ourselves sometimes.
Best thumbnail ever 😀
Me when I don't feel like cooking: buttered noodles. Jen: still makes a whole ass delicious ass looking meal. 😂❤
I make chicken tenders in the air fryer and a salad and fries it’s our go to easy meal that and BLT’s because I’m not a hero either !

You know what's really great? When your kids are older and they say "What's for dinner?" You answer "Whatever you are making."
