My friend Molly wrote an article a couple of weeks ago called "12 Things Lazy Girls Hate About First Dates" and so I thought to myself, "The lazy girl lifestyle is REAL."
But you know what?
That's okay, I'm here to help you get through it with these kitchen hacks so you can still be lazy, but at least you won't starve.
1. Spoon as a Knife
GiphyToo lazy to do dishes? Don't have a knife? Need to butter your toast or put cream cheese on your bagel? Don't worry. Spoons are a universal utensil. Just flip it and use the back of it like a butter knife. Problem solved.
2. Microwave Egg Sandwich
GiphyThe microwave is the center of lazy living. But it doesn't just need to be for frozen dinners and popcorn. You can make a bomb egg sandwich in there with REAL EGGS. Yes. Real eggs. Basically, you take a glass bowl about the size of the bread you are using. I like using an English muffin so think that size. Spray it with cooking spray or some kind of oil so it doesn't stick, scramble the egg in it, pop it in the microwave for 45 seconds or until the white isn't runny. When it's done, slide it out onto your bread, add some cheese. BAM egg sandwich in less than 2 minutes.
3. Broccoli Mac and Cheese
GiphyAny lazy person knows box mac and cheese is a go-to dinner, however, not always the healthiest option. Guess what? I can fix that. Add chopped broccoli to the pot while you're cooking the pasta. It'll take the same amount of time and you won't feel so bad about eating the whole box. Again.
4. Toasted Cheese
GiphyCarbs and cheese are a lazy girl's favorite things. Hence the mac and cheese mentioned above. But grilled cheeses, although quick in themselves, still require a bit more effort than we would like to put out some days. Instead, try toasted cheese. Two pieces of bread, a slice of American cheese on each side, toast it up in the toaster oven and there you go. No watching, flipping or buttering. Just cheesy goodness.
5. Smoothies
GiphySmoothies are the best thing for lazy people who care about their health on a general level. Throw a bunch of fruit in the blender (NutriBullets are lazy girl approved since you make the smoothie in the same cup you drink it in) and you're done! Doesn't really matter the combo and you can have one for any meal. Perfect.
6. Salad Kits
GiphyAgain, trying to be healthy? Too lazy to ACTUALLY try? Get a salad kit, dump all the ingredients in a bowl, mix, eat. Then praise yourself for eating a vegetable. Go you.
7. Tacos
GiphyLiterally all you need to make tacos is some kind of meat (or meatless crumbles if you'd prefer), taco spice mix and then toppings. The meat cooks in less than 15 minutes and it'll probably last you a few meals. Now you're a meal prepper too! Too much effort? Just order a pizza. You deserve it.
Moral of the story: embrace the laziness but still eat good and maybe postpone the dishes for a little bit.
