Hey Leonard, as I said to Debb 1400 posts will take a long time to read thru, but back to your question: I think the hardest part is the 5 minute part because even most of the “ ready to eat “ meals need more than 5 mins to cook. An exception is the veggie burgers that most stores carry in a variety of versions. Most of them are 1:30 on one side then 1 min on the other side. But you then need to fix it on a bun which takes a few mins
BJ’s has a quinoa burger that is bigger than Morning star or similar brands. They come 8 to a package and I cook 4 at a time because I discovered a way to prepare a few of the ones not eaten ( often 3 ) and I prepare them in different ways after the first cooking. One version has it cooked crispy; from there the possibilities are limitless. One choice is eating it cold broken off into chunks and dipped in some of my secret sauces I’m embarrassed to admit that one night my secret sauce was so good I bit my finger while scoffing. I can easily make people fat
I treat food as art
Now I have to worry about the small bowel obstruction

Jeez, Stuck, you had me all excited when I saw the 1:30. I was about to rush to the store got my minute and a half meal, then you added the extra minute, fixin the bun, turning out as bad as fixin a Thanksgiving dinner.
Im lookin for a 1 ingredient quick meal with no or just a spoon or fork to wash. Any ideas???
@imallears has a zucchini pizza, if you can imagine such a thing. Talk about ruining a perfectly good pizza.

I love quinoa burgers and always have them in the freezer because they are so fast, like you stated, and can be cooked from frozen.
On a bun or the green way...between leaves of sturdy lettuce....Our Costco had the greatest brand and they discontinued it. I currently have quinoa veggie burgers in my freezer from an organic market....yum. Don't like Dr Praeger brand too much or Morningstar....Im always trying new brands. Have had one broken up in a salad and would eat one just the way it is out of hand.
How nice to see that someone else treats food as an art....It is, and even if you are just preparing for yourself, it should be done right and the presentation should be pleasing. With wine, of course.

time to prepare dinner here
