Your Back-Pocket Easy Meals - "Big Bang for Buck"

Omelettes . . . we always have eggs, some type of cheese and veggies. Meets the protein/dairy/veg threshold in less than 10 mins. Bonus is easy clean up.

Stir fry. I always have chopped peppers and onions in the freezer and various sauces in the fridge. Even if the protein is still frozen, you can slice it and cook it on high heat. And rice doesn’t take long. Another pretty easy clean up.

My local meat market roasts its own beef and also sells the jus. Add some provolone, rolls and their pre-made healthy salad (kale, blueberries, walnuts, etc. with a raspberry vinaigrette). Heat the jus and meat; melt the provolone in the roll–voila, a hot roast beef sandwich with a side salad and only one pan to clean . Very lazy, but better than drive-thru.
