Thanks I’ll take a look. It’s not so much lack of recipes it more can’t be bothered. If someone made it I’d be happy to eat it.
The thought of cooking and then cleaning up is the issue. My burgers are ace because it’s soo quick.
I just have no inclination to do anything. Even work is difficult. All I want to do is be at home and crochet! Which is probably not helping the memory issue!!
Oh trust me, Cana, I have been known to reject a recipe on the basis of too much fafffff or too many ingredients.
Coming into winter, this is where a slow cooker or pressure cooker comes in incredibly handy. I call my pressure cooker a fast, slow cooker, and my approach is one of "lob it and leave it". In other words, lob everything in, turn it on, then ignore it whilst it does it's magic.
With many pressure cookers, you can cook straight from frozen, so I can lob in a couple of chicken bricks, or even a whole chicken and cook from that iced state. That is so, so handy when one realises dinner is still frozen.
Of course it has also led to a few "brown block surprise dinners", where I take out a container of chilli, casserole or curry, only to find, when defrosted and cooked, it's actually something else.
If I'm on my own, and fancy chilli,, I can take a brown brick out of the freezer, put it in the pressure cooker, and it'll be piping hot in about 15 minutes. That works for me on a "Meh", or "feed me right now" day
