What Should I Eat Tonight?

What to have tonight? It's getting warm again so you can't be doing with anything too heavy, but you still want something that is filling. Sushi is out because cooking that is complicated and fish and chips is simple but also expensive (have you seen how much cod costs?!). We all know that cooking in these modern times is difficult enough without having to shell out a considerable amount of money, so here's what you should make for dinner tonight:

Tilapia with a side of broccoli! This child-friendly menu* is a great, super easy and rather affordable choice actually, all things considered. You can get a box of them at Publix for like EIGHT DOLLARS WITH EIGHT FISH IN IT.

I know, right?

What do I need?

Some tilapia and some broccoli. Green veggies are best, but you can also have some tinned corn or even a potato salad. 

How do I do it?

Okay, cooking fish is straightforward but, like anything, you will fuck it up if you are not careful. Put a pan on the stove with a little bit of oil in, medium heat, until it has spread everywhere. Put the fish on it, hover over it while worrying, turn it around. Flip it around halfway through, stare at it, hope it's okay. The process will take you a little less than ten minutes depending on how high your heat is. Do not put your heat up too high or you risk burning your fish. 

Put some lime on your fish, serve with vegetables and other garnish and gobble it down!

Tonight on the menu... the trusted spud! You are having an absolutely low effort, super easy, extremely quick, designed for the lazy meal. If you are like a super serious cook, you can put your spud in the oven for like an hour and get it all nice and brown.

Or you can just wash it, fork it to death, put it in the microwave and hope that it cooks evenly. Personally, I always go for the second option! There is something so delicious about so little effort. In all seriousness, the jacket potato is a super great and easy meal choice.

A potato can take you anywhere from five minutes to a couple of hours, depending on your level of commitment. Obviously the amount of effort you put in depends entirely on your schedule.

How do you make a jacket potato?

Really? 

Take the potato. Wash the potato. Put the potato in microwave. The best methods for making jacket potatoes are hotly debated topics by chefs all around the world. Aluminium keeps your potatoes hot until they are ready to eat. If you are super lucky, you may even get your own lights show (but it's totally super rare, don't worry.)

What do I put on the jacket potato?

It depends! Are you feeling supremely lazy? Leftovers of marinated mince can make a super awesome topping, but you may only want to go for cheese. The meal will still be quite filling and starchy even without a protein, but don't deprive yourself. The strength of potato lies in how versatile it is, so remember, put whatever you want on it until it works (I would skip desserts though)

On the menu tonight is a whatever jacket potato with a side salad with no dressing. Enjoy your super classy totally fit for a dinner party dinner tonight!

What Should I Eat Tonight?

So like, I haven't eaten in months. Or slept. Or anything. Thankfully I'm back from the grave to provide you with more ridiculously easy recipes that will make you keel over with taste explosions or something. Turns out March is a dickhead and it's still freezing. But obvi you don't want to eat like a pig with summer just around the corner so hearty food is out of the question. So you need to have something that is quite filling and good for cold days, but it also needs to be deceptively light. Obviously if you are starving just mixed some more potatoes in there or whatever.

What the fuck should I eat tonight?

You should eat... Tomato Soup!

Couldn't be easier to make and you will probably have all the ingredients at home. Or most of the ingredients at the very list. You need to get some heavy cream and some cans of tomatoes. You also need to have some chicken broth. You probably have some, just look in the back of the cupboard. See? There you go. Okay, so this recipe will take you like twenty minutes. This is also a great date meal with a little bit of bread, especially if taken with wine when outside. But you aren't going to go outside, who are we kidding?

Anyway. How Do You Make That?

You are going to take 2 containers of stock and put them in a pan. Pour your one tin of crushed tomatoes in it. Make sure that it's at medium heat but lower is better than higher. Look at pictures of cats on your phone or something. Pay attention, though! Once your soup starts to bubble at the top, pour a can of heavy cream in it and lower the heat.

Add some salt and pepper. Put some garlic bread in the oven and wait around for about 15 minutes. Then put it in the blender for a couple of minutes but make sure it doesn't get like super cold. That's it! You're done! You only have to get up for 20 minutes and then this is you:
