I’ve been sustaining myself on ramen noodles, instant mac n cheese/frozen food for the last 2 weeks I feel gross. I don’t know how to cook... this has been hell.

Why don’t you use this time to learn how to cook? There are very simple recipes that you can start with.

“Use the time”?? What time would that be? Between work, home school and no housekeeper I have less time than I did before 😡. I’m so tired of hearing about all the great activities you can do from home because I have no time for any of it.

Instant ramen noodles cooked:
1) then drained and sautéed with frozen veggies and egg(s), soy sauce, peanut butter, ginger, and garlic
2) Cooked in chicken broth with defrosted veggies and eggs (crack in raw, let boil with noodles)
2a) Western European style: season with salt, pepper and any combo of the following: thyme, basil, sage, rosemary, garlic, onion
2b) Asian (ish) style: pepper, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, onion
2c) Tex-Mex (ish) style: salt, pepper, garlic, onion, lemon or lime juice, Chile or chipotle powder. Add in a few spoons of salsa or pico de Gallo if you feel like it
2d) Cuban style (kinda...don’t tell my Tía): garlic, onion, olive oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, and bay leaves

Thanks! I’ve loved cooking since I was really little. Dad and I used to watch Alton Brown Good Eats together. Now we watch Good Eats Reloaded when I’m visiting 😄

There are recipes out there where you can just put together certain things and let it all cook in a pot or in an oven w/o need for any meticulous preparation or process. This is the best time to hone your skills in the kitchen.

I can cook but my wife cant; however, she's recently used Hello Fresh and I'm really impressed with the meals. It also inherently teaches people how to cook but also helps people get comfortable with ingredients and cooling techniques. Highly recommend these type of meal services (hello fresh, blue apron, etc.)

I don’t like to cook and I’m not very good at it. But if you get chicken tenders or thin chicken cutlets coat them in a little bit of egg and then breadcrumbs and fry them. Then drop them into a couple of cans of Progresso minestrone soup in a pot. Add some red wine vinegar for Tang. Let it cook on low in there for a while and put it over pasta. Super Duper easy and really tasty.
