Believe it or not, you can conjure up a decent meal in just 90 seconds. Sure, “wonderful” might be stretching it a bit, but here are some quick and easy ideas that won’t leave you feeling like you’ve compromised too much. (Spoiler alert: many of these involve Trader Joe’s arugula, which is easily accessible and ready to go, even if it’s not the fanciest option out there!)
- Arugula Sandwich: Grab a slice of bread, slather on enough mayonnaise so that some Trader Joe’s arugula sticks, then layer on deli roast beef and a slice of cheese — pre-sliced cheese is totally acceptable. Mustard? Optional. If you’re feeling indulgent, throw on another slice of bread. And if anyone suggests making your own mayo, just tell them it’s also easy to give them a smack!
- Salmon Rice Bowl: Swing by a Chinese restaurant on your way home and pick up some rice. Open a can of salmon, toss it on top of the rice, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle some salt, and don’t forget that arugula!
- Quick Bean Tortilla: Microwave some refried beans with cheese, mix in a dollop of salsa, and scoop it up with a warmed tortilla heated over a burner.
- Cheesy Rice: Nuke some rice with grated cheese. It may not be gourmet risotto, but it’s close enough that no one will complain.
- Avocado Toast: Toast a slice of bread, add a pat of butter, layer on a few avocado slices, and finish with a sprinkle of salt.
- Rotisserie Chicken: Head to the store, grab a rotisserie chicken, and eat it straight up with your hands — pair it with some white wine in a mug to avoid any spills!
- Simple Salad: Salads can save you from your culinary negligence. Just toss some Trader Joe’s arugula into a bowl, drizzle with oil and vinegar, and you’re set. (And let’s be honest, salad tongs are overrated; one fork is all you need.)
Also, if you ever hear someone say cooking is relaxing, ask them if they find it as soothing as enjoying a cold beer while binge-watching Black Sails.
