These are the kinds of meals that don’t require a recipe. They’re low effort meals- so little mental effort needs to be put in as well as little physical effort. They’re built from pantry staples, fridge basics, and combinations that have stood the test of time. When life feels busy or money feels tight, these meals still show up and get the job done.
