I love quick meals too though, which is why I love my Instant Pot

tell me more about the tuna casserole… can i put a different veg in there (not a HUGE fan of peas).
so I have a one-pot recipe I make a lot, which goes quite quickly:
chicken thighs
mushrooms
onions
spinach
quinoa
chicken broth
I do throw in some garlic and spices/ herbs for the chicken and use a bit of olive oil. But i love this one because it’s high-protein and super easy (though 6 main ingredients).

These all look tasty! I have a similar recipe to your Sausage and Peppers for Chicken-Kielbasa Jambalaya. My mom made a similar Tuna and Noodles meal when I was a kid (no mushroom soup, though, because she doesn’t like mushrooms).

Your quick and easy dinners are fancier than mine! One of my easy dinners (which I have at least once a week) is chickpea pasta, and while it’s boiling I throw broccoli in to cook with it, topped with marinara sauce
from a jar. The whole thing takes about 20 minutes, and the only real work is shopping the broccoli. I’m not a big fan of cooking on weeknights, so I try to have something really easy like this, or leftovers.

Quick and easy meals are the way to go! I spend more time cooking during the weekend because my mom is here. During the week is hectic and I eat mostly leftovers or stop on the way home for fast food.

I rarely have time to make a big meal. I also often make a few of these on the weekend so I don’t have to cook during the week.
