You get home after a busy day and just don’t have it in you to prepare a good, satisfying meal – so you reach into the cupboards to grab those jars and convenience foods that really aren’t that good for you. Yep, we’re ALL guilty of that! What if I told you there were easy ways to eat better without doing that?
We all get to that place don’t we? Where we’re stuck in a food rut and just can’t climb out of it. We’re creatures of habit and, let’s be real – no one ever really likes change.
On the plus side – change can be amazing!! You just have to be open to it and realise that life has way more to offer than just jars and ready meals. These 7 hassle free meal ideas for busy people are exactly what they say on the tin. I guarantee they will pave the way for you to FLY out of that food rut you’re stuck in!
What does ‘hassle free meal’ mean?
Let’s just make sure we’re all on the same page here shall we? I’m sure you’ll agree when I say it absolutely has to be all of these things:
- Minimal hands on time
- Minimal prep
- As few pots to wash as possible
- Quick or the oven/slow cooker does the hard work
- No precooking
- Easy to make
I mean, they’re all just a given right? Who has time for all the extra work/fuss after a long, hard day??
Well if you agree with me, you’re definitely in the right place my lovely! The recipes I’ve selected for this collection are deliberately all of those things and more.
