It is entirely possible to whip up a decent meal in just 90 seconds. Below are some practical ideas that utilize readily available ingredients, particularly Trader Joe’s arugula, which, while not the most gourmet option, is convenient and ready for immediate use.
1. Arugula Sandwich
Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise on a slice of bread to help Trader Joe’s arugula adhere. Layer on some deli roast beef and a slice of pre-sliced cheese—this is perfectly acceptable. Mustard is optional. Enjoy it as an open-faced sandwich or add another slice of bread for a classic sandwich. If someone suggests making homemade mayonnaise, kindly remind them that it’s just as easy to enjoy store-bought.
2. Salmon Rice Bowl
Pick up a container of rice from a local Chinese restaurant. Open a can of salmon, place it over the rice, and drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Top it with some Trader Joe’s arugula for a fresh contrast.
3. Quick Bean Tortilla
Heat up some refried beans with cheese in the microwave. Mix in salsa for added flavor, and serve it in a tortilla warmed over the stove.
4. Cheesy Rice
Microwave rice and mix in grated cheese. While it may not compare to risotto, it’s still a comforting dish that satisfies.
5. Avocado Toast
Toast a slice of bread, spread butter on it, and top with avocado slices and a sprinkle of salt for a simple yet delicious snack.
6. Rotisserie Chicken
Stop by the store and grab a rotisserie chicken. Enjoy it straight from the container, and feel free to sip your white wine from a mug to prevent spills.
7. Simple Salad
Salads can complement any meal and ensure that children receive essential nutrients despite your cooking limitations. For a quick salad, toss some Trader Joe’s arugula in a bowl, drizzle with oil and vinegar, and serve. Remember, salad tongs are unnecessary; a fork will do just fine.
And if you ever hear someone say they find cooking relaxing, maybe ask them if it’s as soothing as sipping a cold drink while watching a favorite show.
