My go-to easy meal
I am the laziest cook in the world. So my go-to easy meal is quinoa and refried beans.
I use my rice-cooker (best kitchen appliance in my house!) for the quinoa and I love the Goya vegan Ranchero refried beans.
One cup of dried quinoa and a can of beans makes about four meals. I add salsa (Aldi’s medium is my favorite!) and some cheese, heat it up and it’s delicious!
Sometimes I add onions or mushrooms if I have them handy.
BONUS! If I let the quinoa cool, I get the whole resistant starch thing happening!
What’s you’re favorite easy go-to-meal?

I don’t know. I just want to watch everybody else’s answers on this one, lol. Maybe I will get inspired.

I do a tortilla soup. It’s basically leftovers. The base is 2 cans each of chicken stock and diced tomatoes. I bring it to a boil and throw in a few corn tortillas (I can’t eat gluten) and stir until they break up. It kinda thickens the soup.
After that, I throw in leftover chicken & veggies, some rice, roasted red peppers, red pepper flakes and garlic. I separate into individual portions and freeze. When I defrost, I put shredded cheese on top, avocado if I have it, and crumble some tortilla chips into the bowl. It’s very filling.
