Definitely instant noodles with egg. Quickest fix ever. It's either that or microwave leftovers. If we have leftover pasta, I just add the instant sauces and microwave.

You know what pasta sauce would be great and simple? Try olive oil and garlic. Just throw in a couple of bacon strips and you'll be in business.

Our "lazy mans meal" is always breakfast :-D Pancakes from a boxed mix take only a few minutes. Or will make eggs and toast. Since breakfast foods are so easy, if I'm too lazy to make dinner we end up having one of these items for dinner.

You read my mind! I am enjoying a quick fix breakfast. Actually I made a nice big healthy breakfast of eggs, potatoes, and meat and onions, but as I've been out working in the garden already, I wanted more! So I put a handful frozen cranberries and some fresh spinach in a cup of chocolate soy milk and made them smooth in the blender to drink. A healthy and delicious smoothie is my favorite quick fix any time of the day and any day of the week, especially on a hot sunny day. If it not warm enough for an icy drink, then my favorite quick fix is a poached egg on buttered toast. Mmmm.

I would make Banana bread..it's easy, fast and tasty...It involves the following Preheat an oven Whisk baking soda,all-purpose flour,salt and sugar in a big bowl Gradually mix the beaten eggs, mashed bananas and melted butter Stir in the nuts that are mixed , if you like to add them Pour the batter mix into the prepared pans Bake the batter mix for couple of minutes,if it comes out well, your cake is baked Let it cool, then cut into slices of breads and serve....that's it

I just brown some meat, throw some lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and fritos in a bowl and make an instant taco salad. The meat takes about ten minutes to cook. It is a very fast meal and my husband really enjoys it. If you do not have meat you can sub a can of chili or beans.
