Grocery Ideas If You Don’t Like to Cook
You got off work just in time to get the kids to and from practice. On deck: homework, showers, errands, laundry… ugh. The last thing you feel like doing is coming up with a plan for dinner, too. If you’re in need of some dinner inspiration, especially for those of us with busy schedules who don’t enjoy cooking, you’ve come to right place. Here are five grocery ideas to make dinnertime a breeze:
1. Pre-Packaged Salads
Look for salad kits that come with all of the necessary ingredients, including toppings and dressing. You can add some grilled chicken or tofu for protein and you’ll have a refreshing and healthy meal in minutes.
2. Rotisserie Chicken
Save yourself the hassle of cooking meat by picking up a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. You can shred the chicken and use it in various dishes like salads, wraps, sandwiches, or even toss it with some pasta and veggies for a quick stir-fry.
3. Frozen Vegetables
Stock up on a variety of frozen vegetables that can easily be steamed or stir-fried. A quick and easy side dish you can whip up in minutes.
4. Ready-Made Pasta Sauces
Look for high-quality, ready-made pasta sauces that can be heated up and poured over pasta. Add some pre-cooked meatballs or sausages, and you’ll have a comforting and filling dinner in no time.
5. One-Pot (or Pan) Meals
Explore recipes that require minimal effort and clean-up, such as one-pot meals. These dishes typically involve combining a protein, vegetables, and grain in a single baking cookware, making things especially easy for those busy weeknights. Oh the ‘pots-a-bilities’!
Remember, it’s okay if cooking isn’t your favorite and you don’t have the time for fancy and elaborate meals. By keeping a well-stocked pantry and being resourceful with pre-cooked options, and you still enjoy delicious and hassle-free dinners!
