Lazy Cooking

Last summer, I made a big foil pan of potato salad. It took me 2 days to do it because the amount that I had to make bummed me out & i just ran out of gas & had to keep on stopping until it was done!! I will never make that amount again because it took so long!! 
Here it is!! I was so out of gas from making this much!! It required more than 5lbs of potatoes!! I was exhausted just from making it!! It was for a cookout at one of my nieces' house. Her, her husband & the kids.

One thing that I'll NEVER do again in life is to make a big dinner!! Like I used to do years ago. From beginning to end, it requires tons of work!!! You have to prep all or most of the food, get it on the stove, & or in the oven. The cleanup would involve making room in the fridge for all that stuff that you cooked, washing the dishes, along with the pots & pans, then clean the stove & the kitchen. By that time, you're exhausted, pooped, worn out & done for!! No, thanks. Too much work for me!!!! Lazy cooking is, by that time, the perfect thing to do!!!!
Nowadays, I just offer to make something, or get it from the store & bring it over. Saves me a bundle from making a big dinner!! Lots of work saved & only 1 or 2 things to make or bring over from the store. Smart!!!!
Soup and grilled cheese.
Good prepared foods matched with an equally good sidekick.
I like to find recipes that are easy and will get at least a day of leftovers if not three.

You know the sort of thing. You want something nice to eat but have run out of steam.
Not to the extent you’d order takeout but it’s close.
Expended all my cooking energies at lunch time on making garlic bread and Kha Gai soup. I’ve nothing left in the tank.
The idea of a ready meal makes your stomach turn so you go for your easy assembly quick fix hit.
Post it here, might be steak baguette, sausage and mash, jacket potato. You wouldn’t declare you ‘cooked‘ it but at the same time you did manage to get the ingredients on a plate 😆
These assemblies are always handy to have in the bank for those tired days.
Nothing like straight up plagiarism is there @Shermie ?

I got a little suspicious at the mention of Kha Gai soup.
Just sayin.....
Post from another person that came from another forum. Copied and pasted word for word.
Jacket potato would be another clue as well.
I know.
I look at that forum, but I'm not a member.
Hey I use the phrase jacket potato!
Jacket spud..
But that's what we called them in the UK 😊
