Hi Jake,
Most good things don’t take 5 minutes unless you go to a Whole Foods type of store and pick up healthy frozen meals for one. May I suggest you take the time to prep some veggies or buy them already cut up. I toss any veggie I have including red potatoes and toss with a good olive oil , salt and pepper and throw them in the oven at 400 degrees. Have also thrown in grapes. Takes a half hour or more depending on how many you have. I like to add chicken sausage with it and add some kale about the last 5 minutes. Veggies are all nice and browned and carmelized. Line the pan , make a lot to reheat in microwave, minimal clean up. You can add some of those veggies to eggs for an omelet. Or spread on a Naan and cover with a little cheese under the broiler.

Stuff an avacado with canned salmon or tuna. Buy pre made soups and pre made salads if you don’t like to cook. Add some noodles and frozen veggies to chicken or beef broth...that’s 5 minutes. Avoid processed meats on white bread if you can.

For those of you who do cook, a great snack is to toss a can of chick peas or garbanzo peas with olive oil and seasoning into the oven until they just start to turn brown, around 400..... So nutty and yummy warm or cold. Popcorn is a good snack...I use the jarred kind and pop it with coconut or avacado oil which don’t burn.

Can’t go wrong with olive oil...and yeah I love to cook but also pick up healthy frozen meals ...always reading the labels....

@imallears - Wow - Thanks for the great simple cooking tips you offered here. I want to come and eat at your house! I especially love your suggestions for roasted veggies. Years ago, a lady at the farmers market told me she does all of her vegetables this way because its so easy AND delicious. I've tried that, but I've never gone the extra step of putting in grapes or sausage or other items. I found some carrots and parsnip in my frig that are overdue for cooking so I'm going to try this tonight with the last of bag of dried cranberries. I can't wait! Love your other suggestions too. Thanks for sharing!
