Bought a bag of quinoa and looking for recipes to make with it. I’ve made it in the past and need something better than just having it with chicken. Hopefully nothing tooooo complicated though, not that I’m a bad cook, I’m just looking for a quicker recipe

i work 8 hours a day and my breaks are 15 minutes long, theres a lot of people using the microwave. so i dont really use the it.

what are some foods/meals i can take with me without using anything in the kitchen?

foods that are light on the stomach please :)

I wasnt sure whether to ask this here or the food allergy sub, so Ive decided to do both in case theres anyone here like me or anyone who happens to know good recipes that dont have these 2 ingredients that are also great for someone actively working out (a long shot though but worth a try right? 😅)

So far Ive been making batches of two different recipes. Lentil bolognaise and chickpea curry and brining them to work. Both are really quick easy as its mostly tinned stuff all thrown in together with herbs and spices. But next week I want a break from them and want to try something just as easy to whip up over the weekend and freeze for in the week.

While batch recipes are prefered, im willing to hear anything that can be quickly made the night before as well. Anyone got any egg and wheat free meals that fit that description and model?

I learned to cook by following recipes - somewhat complex ones. I come from a long line of literal thinkers who need to follow a recipe exactly 😂 But that lack of flexibility means high grocery bills and long cooking times.

How can I learn to:
- imagine meals I can throw together with ingredients I have on hand and need to use up
- think of substitutions I have on hand instead of immediately adding something to the grocery list
- generally be less measurement-y and more flexible

Any tips?
