After a long shift, the last thing you probably want to do is cook. The following easy dinner ideas (calling them recipes would be a stretch) will allow you to relax.
These four easy dinners incorporate two of our favorite cooking methods. The first is assembly, meaning that you combine pre-cooked or pre-cut ingredients together to create a meal. The other is roasting, or passive cooking, which involves minimum preparation and the food sits in the oven and cooks while you take a shower, spend time with the family, or just sit and breathe.
To set expectations, the following four meal ideas are not quick, but they are easy. They’re designed to only take a minimum amount of work from start to plate. Enjoy!
Four easy dinners
1. Homemade Ramen
In a saucepan, pour 4 cups of chicken or bone broth and heat over medium-high heat. Then, stir in 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of minced ginger. Once the mixture begins to simmer, lower the heat to medium and cover. Cook for 20 minutes. Then add your choice of any or all of the below:
- 1 package of ramen noodles (only noodles)
- 2 cups of zucchini noodles
- 1 cup of sliced mushrooms
- 2 scallions, chopped
- a handful of baby spinach
Cook for 5 minutes, then serve. Pack leftovers in microwavable food storage containers and refrigerate. To reheat: Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
2. Spaghetti Squash Bolognese
Preheat oven to 400F. Cut one medium-size spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and discard. Drizzle the inside of each half with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Season the flesh of each half with 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt. Place squash flesh down on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and flip squash over so flesh is facing up. Pour 1 cup jarred Bolognese sauce (we like Rao’s) in a saucepan and heat over medium heat.
Shred the flesh of the spaghetti with a fork. You can either leave it in the shell or place the “spaghetti” strands on a plate, then pour half of the Bolognese over the one squash half and serve. Pack the other half (either with shell or without) with Bolognese in microwave-safe container and refrigerate. To reheat: Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
3. Greek Grain Salad
Cook 1 cup couscous per package directions. Cut 1 cup cherry tomatoes into halves. Chop 1/2 cucumber into bite-size pieces. Toss couscous, cucumbers, and tomatoes in a large bowl with 1/4 cup vinaigrette dressing (your favorite). Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon feta cheese crumbles. Serve. Pack leftovers in containers and refrigerate. Can be eaten cold.
4. Salsa Chicken
Preheat oven 375 degrees F. Spray baking dish with cooking oil. Place 1 chicken breast in baking dish. Pour 1 cup salsa (your favorite) over chicken. Cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with 2 tablespoon Mexican-blend shredded cheese, and bake 5 minutes. Remove from oven, cut in half. Serve. Pack up the other half and refrigerate.
