I HATE cooking recipes! They always seem to want to make you go above and beyond when you just want to eat.
I would love to be able to just make anything based on whatever is in the fridge. But I don't really have much experience yet, and especially on days when I'm tired, I feel incapable of thinking up something to prepare. I just stare at the fridge and pantry and have no clue where to start.
I usually start by identifying the “meat” I want to have, then preheat the oven if necessary. The meat usually takes longest to cook.
While that’s happening, I check that I have all the other stuff I need. Once the oven’s preheated, I put the meat (and anything else to be oven cooked) in and set the timer according to the packaging instructions. Once it reaches 10-12 minutes, I usually boil some pasta/rise with some veg.
I’m not sure if that’s the best way, but it works for me.
I think that’s a good idea.
I actually like taking recipes and trying to reduce them to their most generic form. Like a curry, or a stew, or a salad. Most of the ingredients can be substituted, but the basic steps are the same.
