You can definitely whip up a decent meal in just 90 seconds—okay, maybe “decent” is a stretch, but you get the idea. Here are some of my quick and easy favorites. Many of these involve arugula from Trader Joe’s, which might not be gourmet, but it’s certainly convenient and ready to go.
- Arugula Sandwich Delight: Slather a slice of bread with enough mayonnaise so that some Trader Joe’s arugula sticks. Layer on some deli roast beef and a slice of cheese—pre-sliced cheese is perfectly acceptable. Mustard? Totally optional. Enjoy it open-faced or add another slice of bread for a classic sandwich. And if anyone mentions how easy it is to make homemade mayonnaise, just smile and nod—no need for that.
- Quick Salmon Rice Bowl: Swing by a Chinese restaurant for some takeout rice on your way home. Open a can of salmon and place it on the rice. Drizzle with olive oil, add a pinch of salt, and top with some Trader Joe’s arugula for a refreshing twist.
- Tortilla Bean Wrap: Heat up some refried beans and mix in shredded cheese and salsa. Spoon the mixture into a tortilla that you’ve warmed over a burner. Voilà!
- Cheesy Rice: Microwave some rice and mix in grated cheese. Not quite as fancy as risotto, but quick and tasty enough that you won’t mind.
- Avocado Toast: Toast a piece of bread, spread butter on it, and top with slices of avocado and a sprinkle of salt. Simple and satisfying!
- Rotisserie Chicken Feast: Head to the store and grab a rotisserie chicken. It’s finger-licking good—enjoy it with your white wine in a mug to prevent spills.
- Simple Salad: Salads can save you from culinary neglect. Just toss some Trader Joe’s arugula into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, and enjoy. And let’s be real: salad tongs are overrated. If there were a rule about kitchen utensils, I’d stick to one fork.
If you ever hear someone say cooking is relaxing, ask them if they find it as calming as sipping beer while binging on Black Sails.
