Gardein scallopini cutlet over spaghetti with homemade marinara sauce, a little Daiya mozzarella, and vegan parmesan. The sauce was leftover, so this was a quick and easy meal.

This one is originally from the McDougall 30-Minute Meals cookbook:

2 cans stewed or diced tomatoes
1 can black or pinto beans, rinsed
1 can corn, rinsed, or 1 generous cup frozen corn

Put everything in a pot. Heat it till it's hot. Eat.

Look everyone, really simple noodles. My favorite.

I brought back a tupperware container of veggies and beans from the salad bar in the dining hall and made a stir-fry with it tonight for dinner. I added some garlic powder, tamari and avocado.

For dessert, I have a mixture of mashed banana and speculoos in the freezer. I picked the bananas up from the dining hall and they looked like they were on their way out. Perfect for an ice cream type thing.

pasta with noochy sauce and frozen veggies. I felt it was worthy of this thread.

Some (warm) wholegrain couscous with a whole tin of (cold) butterbeans mixed in. On the side, sweetcorn eaten out of the can.

I did feel a bit silly eating this in front of my flatmates- my plate was very beige- but it was what I felt like at the time and DIDN'T INVOLVE A SAUCEPAN!

This made my day.

Those noodles look fantastic.

I got home way too late for cooking the other night so I toasted some turkish pide bread, slathered on some herb & garlic "cream cheese", & topped it with some thin slices of pan-fried zucchini. Definitely going into regular rotation, it was great. Would have been even better with a blob of tapenade or pesto on top.

Late night the very next night & had some more pide, with sauteed mushrooms & a soy sausage on it. That was pretty delish too. All of my quick efforts seem to involve bread.

Pasta with jarred sauce, nooch sauce, oil or chopped veggies. 4 meals.

This is what I do when my girlfriend is gone for the weekend and I just want to sit around and play video games. 1:1 ratio of white rice and quinoa, steamed, with whatever falls into my hand when I swipe at the spice cabinet (hopefully I get lucky and it's curry of some sort). When it's done steaming, add 1 can black beans and cover up till they're warm. Wrap it in a tortilla with salsa, wrap it in some kale, put it in a pita with some hummus...whatever works.

2 onions, fried, half a tin of butterbeans mixed in then spooned into 3 tortillas and eaten. With a tomato cut into wedges on the side. Nom nom nom.
I thought two onions for one meal sounded excessive but I could totally have done with another one. Or two (they weren't huge). Oh, how I love fried onions.

The effect of onions on one's digestive system may or may not be why this dish goes in the 'bachelor(ette) meals" thread.

I...I love you.

The best dinner ever: Asparagus, super toasty toast with cream cheese and tofu scramble with kale and seasoned with soy sauce. Soooooo good.

I don't have enough of anything to make a solid meal, so dinner part one is baked sweet potato fries with wasabi mustard and ketchup. I'm probably gonna have some asparagus and chickpeas later.

tater tots with daiya, tofutti sour cream, and frank's. served over romaine for healthyness.

First I warmed up a blend of frozen veggies in the microwave, then added a package of instant miso soup powder, boiled some water, poured it over, ate it. A big spoon of speculoos for dessert. Half a bottle of cabernet savignon, but that's nothing special. I'd probably spend more on food if I spent less on good wine, but I appreciate the wine more so...

leftover bbq tofu, mashed sweet potatos, and baked beans all smooshed together in one bowl.

Last night was shell pasta, canned chickpeas and frozen peas with Annie's goddess dressing. I don't ever have time to cook anymore. *cries*

Warmed up canned black beans and wrapped in a tortilla with wilted spinach, salsa and cilantro. Dirt cheap and delicious.

Make one box of seasoned couscous.
Open one can of stewed tomatoes.
Combine.
Eat.

Open can of soup.
Pour soup into bowl.
Microwave.
Top off with some extremely stale bread.

baked potato stuffed with steamed broccoli and daiya...

same thing tonight... and every night until i run out

i've decided i am totally over cooking crappy food for myself, so i just spent $100 on buying ingredients for japanese food. i am going to learn how to cook proper japanese rice, and keep the fixin's for 5 minute dinners in my fridge, so i won't have to eat stale bread and spread for dinner 5x a week.

i am also venturing into the land of easy noodles, yesterday i made a delicious meal:

soba noodles + a sauce made from sriricha (or korean hot pepper paste), vinegar, soy sauce, roasted sesame oil, sugar and roasted sesame seeds. add in chopped cucumber to the sauce and mix so it covers the cucumber. serve over the soba noodles.
if you're feeling fancy, dress it up with a little cilantro!
spicy, delicious, sorta healthy, makes perfect leftovers.. and it's super cheap. what's not to like?

My bachelorette breakfast is a giant pile of leftover asparagus. I like stinky pee.

marking my spot...wonderful suggestions, considering I hate cooking lately. Thanks.
