I've been really stuck on dinner ideas lately, need to watch some cooking shows to get my creativity game up
Pick a vegetable or meat. Google selected item + recipe. Eg Potato recipes. Choose a meal. Shop for that meal.
Yeah that's basically how I do it but I've been struggling to get excited about choosing lately!
Start with whatever is in your fridge/pantry/freezer. That's what I do.
Pretty much whatever leftovers you have - make pizza dough and dump said leftovers on the pizza 👌
Dinner is easy.. first you make some toast, or toast some english muffins if you're fancy, then you heat up the baked beans in the microwave. Then you simply pour the baked beans over the toast/muffins. Done! Make your meal international by adding a dab of hot sauce to take your tastebuds on a spicy Mexican adventure.
Not sure why you'd ever need any other ideas.
My Scottish partner would absolutely love this
Show them this to get their motor running
easy dinner #2
toast muffin get 3 eggs , beat them, add 2 spoons salsa or 1 tsp curry powder etc , cook in microwave, stir a bit. put eggs on top of muffin
Would be against toasted ham and cheese sandwiches? Nice and easy and comforting.
Throw whatever else inside that you desire. Even better if you have a jaffle maker.
Cant ever be against ham and cheese toasties

Piss easy to make and you can make homemade kebabs etc… Just slice up the leftovers and freeze them with a few tablespoons of the pan goo and it surprisingly microwaves great.
Quality weekend cook that one
