I get a whole 15 minutes? I actually get to eat it too?! Wow talk about a dream! Just have to wait another 20 years for the kids to grow up to MAYBE enjoy it.
(Don’t get me wrong, I love the little nugget, but I like being the only one who eats food off of my plate sometimes.)
Pasta: in one pot boil pasta for 9 minutes; in a pan next to this, fry bacon and onions. Combine when ready with a sprinkle of olive oil and parmesan. Yee
@Salanth In high school, I lived across the street from school. Every day I walked over, ate multiple instant noodles, watched some taped TV from the prior night, then walked back to school.
@esbaylus close - but I use a maple flavored sausage patty, slice of cheese with a scrambled egg. Add sautéed mushrooms, onions and/or green peppers to the scramble with ingredient availability and as the spirit moves me. The English muffin comes from Aldis (currently at $1.15 pack)
Shin ramen of course. Start cooking on the stove. Hydrate some dried seaweed on the side for topping. Add rando meats that you forgot about in your fridge. In the final minute, swirl the boiling noodles and crack an egg in the eye of that spicy storm. Drain seaweed. Pour into bowl with seaweed. Add about a tablespoon of toasted sesame oil. Slurp. Enjoy.
On the stove top in a pan with butter, fry up some french fries, add in some eggs and WAA LAA…! French fries and eggs! Serve with toast and ketchup or hot sauce if desired, or even some cheese, be original and make it your own.
Best little blinky i’ve ever had!
Yum!
Beans and greens. Get skillet hot, add olive oil and red pepper flake. Remove casing from 1 Italian sausage and sauté in skillet with garlic. Rinse 1 can beans and add to skillet. Add greens such as escarole endive spinach radish greens kale or whatever. Cover and reduce heat for a minute while greens wilt. Eat
If I had more time I would add a can of stewed tomatoes with the beans and after the greens wilted I would mix 1 egg with lemon juice and a little Parmesan cheese and slowly stir it in to create a stew. But in 15 minutes you get the quick version
Eggs: yes. Scrambled: not necessarily. More likely sunny-side-up. Possibly with cheese.
Or just buttered coffee - that’s quick and makes a nice 400ish calorie meal. And if you have a Contigo or something you can take it with you and consume at your leisure.
Chicken breast takes 6-7 minutes on each side on a frying pan with a little EVOO. Seasoned with a spice blend and salt/pepper and throw on the hot pan. While the chicken is cooking boil 1 cup of hot water and then set to low adding 1 cup of jasmine rice. (Or get your minute rice if you’re pressed for time). Then cut up a few sweet peppers and serve.
Sausage (or bacon) egg and cheese breakfast sandwich or wrap.
3-min to cook bacon in microwave. I prefer the oven, but we’re short on time here.
While the bacon is cooking, I heat up a pan on the stove and mix up 2 eggs.
By the time the bacon is done, the pan has been heated. I throw in the eggs, sprinkle on some cheese then toss 2 slices of bread or a wrap on top
Flip the entire thing, then add the bacon (or sausage) and close the sandwich once the bread is toasted.
Roughly 7 minutes to cook, which means I have another roughly 7 minutes to eat.
The wrap takes a bit longer because I flip, then roll the wrap, then toast the two sides. That takes about 11 minutes, BUT a wrap is much easier to walk and eat versus and sandwich.
Egg Sandwich. Pull out a slice of cheese. Throw a whole wheat burger bun in the toaster. XL egg in a small cereal bowl, covered, and microwave at 50% for about 1 min (10-20 seconds more if it’s a lower wattage microwave until the snot is basically gone). Get the lower bun, put the egg on it, put the cheese on it, upper bun. Done.
Pop-Tart and coffee. Or if I’m out of Pop-Tarts, a slice of bread.
I don’t think I could so much as scramble and eat an egg in 15 minutes. Gotta heat the pan, heat the egg, keep hearting, not too much, scramble-scramble, eat the egg, clean the pan… Food is terrible.
Hot pockets only make me hungrier. They’re frozen little bombs of anti-satiation.
If there are leftover bacon strips (rare!) then a BLT.
If there’s frozen precooked breakfast sausages, nuke them hot, roll into a tortilla or flatbread with shredded cheese and have breakfast burrito.
Scrambled eggs with bacon crumbles or chopped up reheated precooked sausage mixed in.
if you thought you had 15 minutes but only had 10 then microwave and nosh the precooked sausages plain. Or open a can of sardines or herring and slurp’em down.
We always keep costco sized bags of bacon crumbles and precooked Jones Dairy Farm sausages on hand.
Bowl of cereal! (Alright, like 4 bowls)
I get a whole 15 minutes? I actually get to eat it too?! Wow talk about a dream! Just have to wait another 20 years for the kids to grow up to MAYBE enjoy it.
(Don’t get me wrong, I love the little nugget, but I like being the only one who eats food off of my plate sometimes.)
a can of spaghettios and a bottle of red wine
@Yoda_Daenerys
I’d ask which red wine pairs well with spaghettios, but I’m afraid someone here actually knows.
@2many2no @Yoda_Daenerys
Ripple!
@2many2no @Yoda_Daenerys All of them
Pasta: in one pot boil pasta for 9 minutes; in a pan next to this, fry bacon and onions. Combine when ready with a sprinkle of olive oil and parmesan. Yee

There’s always leftovers too. Prefer reheated on stove or toaster oven than microwave.
At least 15 more minutes, because that’s not a meal.
Liverwurst and cheese sandwich.
@lordbowen add some roast beef and pickles and you’ve got the best sandwich in the world.
Microwave White Castle sliders.

Depends on what I have to do afterwards.
/image Manchurian yakisoba noodles
Instant noodles of some form.
@Salanth In high school, I lived across the street from school. Every day I walked over, ate multiple instant noodles, watched some taped TV from the prior night, then walked back to school.
Tuna Salad
Tuno salad. Smashed chickpeas with all the tuna seasonings (vegan mayo, pickles, minced onion, diced celery, salt/pepper).
@inanna sounds good, I’ll have to try that!
Bologna, Cheese, & a beer.
Bacon, Egg , Cheese, on homemade Keto English Muffin. Make muffin ( 3 min - https://kirbiecravings.com/microwave-paleo-low-carb-english-muffin/ ) Cook bacon, fry egg in bacon fat, toast muffin, YUM!! Fast and delicious!
@esbaylus close - but I use a maple flavored sausage patty, slice of cheese with a scrambled egg. Add sautéed mushrooms, onions and/or green peppers to the scramble with ingredient availability and as the spirit moves me. The English muffin comes from Aldis (currently at $1.15 pack)
does ramen count as a meal?
@rigor yes. Sometimes my “meal” is a spoon of peanut butter
@llangley Been here a few times. Though my “spoon” is often a banana.
@llangley @theonlybuster My “peanut butter” is often a spoon.
Nachos in the microwave, like a true king.
Bagged salad and a Slim Jim!
Most of those take way less than 15 minutes so I’ll make and eat more than one!
potted meat and sody crackers. or is that saudi?

Bagel with cream cheese, over medium eggs and Penzey’s Fox Point blend on top, OJ to drink.
@btwonder I love Penzy’s Fox Point but I only use it on veggies. Might have to make eggs for the office (
) this morning!
pasta with some store bought sauce.
Beans and greens. Get skillet hot, add olive oil and red pepper flake. Remove casing from 1 Italian sausage and sauté in skillet with garlic. Rinse 1 can beans and add to skillet.

@m20thesailorman I love having my buns tossed and covered in mayo. Mmmmm.
Protein shake! Some whole milk, cold coffee, protein powder, and Rich Chocolate Ovaltine. Bam! Out the door and ready for the day.
@fuzzmanmatt that’s close to what i do…

Beans and weiners
Fastest way is to eat cereals with milk. Healthy (could be), tasty and easy to digest especially if taken late at night.
Egg Sandwich. Pull out a slice of cheese. Throw a whole wheat burger bun in the toaster. XL egg in a small cereal bowl, covered, and microwave at 50% for about 1 min (10-20 seconds more if it’s a lower wattage microwave until the snot is basically gone). Get the lower bun, put the egg on it, put the cheese on it, upper bun. Done.
Bag of chips will do it for me. And I’ll have 14 minutes left to… get another bag of chips…
Pop-Tart and coffee. Or if I’m out of Pop-Tarts, a slice of bread.
I don’t think I could so much as scramble and eat an egg in 15 minutes. Gotta heat the pan, heat the egg, keep hearting, not too much, scramble-scramble, eat the egg, clean the pan… Food is terrible.

This right here.

@downonmark With hot dogs, right from the can. Nom.
