Hello everyone, glad to be here :)

Hi!
I'm a student. I'm looking for inspiration and new ideas for meals I can prepare during the week. I hope I can do it with you

Welcome to Discuss Cooking. I think you will find lots of inspiration here. We have a (usually) nightly dinner thread, where members post what they had for supper. You can find those threads here, along with thread for breakfast and lunch:

Today's Menu

Discussions about what you are cooking, baking or preparing today. No recipe discussions Links to recipes are fine.

www.discusscooking.com

A lot of us get inspiration from those threads.

Hello dabrowska, Welcome to DC.

I'm sure you will be able to find some recipes here that will fit your need. Do you have limitations being able to prepare? Such as stove, oven, etc.

Hey Dabrowska! A very warm welcome to our family.
As already mentioned, we enjoy discussing and displaying our work here. There is no room for being nasty or negative about each other’s work, and we all love to share the meals and flavours that we enjoy.
I can personally say that I have learned a very very great deal from reading and sharing my experiences with my cooking and learning from everyone else here.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us all with any questions or concerns you may have about your cooking journey!

I'm happy to help you brainstorm some easy and quick meal ideas. Here's a variety of ideas considering breakfast, lunch, and dinner that you might enjoy:

Breakfast​

1. Overnight Oats:
   • Mix oats with milk or yogurt and leave it in the fridge overnight.
   • In the morning, add fruits, nuts, seeds, or sweeteners like honey.
2. Avocado Toast:
   • Mash avocado and spread it on whole-grain toast.
   • Top with a poached or fried egg, and sprinkle some salt, pepper, or chili flakes.
3. Smoothie Bowl:
   • Blend your favorite fruits with yogurt or milk.
   • Pour into a bowl and top with granola, nuts, seeds, and sliced fruits.

Lunch​

1. Quinoa Salad:
   • Mix cooked quinoa with diced veggies (cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers).
   • Add a simple vinaigrette and some feta cheese if you like.
2. Wraps:
   • Fill a tortilla with hummus, sliced turkey or chicken, lettuce, and veggies.
   • Roll it up for a quick, handheld meal.
3. Egg Fried Rice:
   • Sauté veggies in a pan, add cooked rice, and stir in scrambled eggs.
   • Season with soy sauce and add some cooked chicken or shrimp if available.

Dinner​

1. Pasta Aglio e Olio:
   • Sauté garlic in olive oil, add chili flakes, and toss with cooked spaghetti.
   • Finish with fresh parsley and grated parmesan.
2. Stir-Fry:
   • Cook your choice of protein (tofu, chicken, beef) and remove from the pan.
   • Sauté veggies, add the protein back in, and finish with a stir-fry sauce.
3. Baked Fish:
   • Season a fillet of fish (like salmon or cod) and bake until cooked through.
   • Serve with a side of steamed veggies and rice.

Snack​

1. Greek Yogurt Parfait:
   • Layer Greek yogurt with granola and fresh fruit.
   • Drizzle with honey and add a sprinkle of nuts or seeds.
2. Veggie Sticks and Dip:
   • Slice veggies like carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers.
   • Dip in hummus or a yogurt-based dip.
3. Nut and Fruit Mix:
   • Combine a mix of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit for an energy-boosting snack.

Remember to make use of leftovers where possible to save time and money! These meals can often be prepared in advance or in bulk to help manage your time and resources better during the week. Adjust the ingredients according to your dietary needs and preferences, and have fun experimenting in the kitchen!

One thing I love to do on weekends is repurpose leftovers. My hubby had a leftover ribeye steak that I turned into an open-faced steak sandwich with fried eggs on top. He loved it.

What have you had for lunch lately?

Do you know... I've never - ever - had Guacamole! Fell in love with avocados in England, on our honeymoon, where they were often served halved with Cross & Blackwell Dressing and Salad Shrimp. My SIL (who had tagged along on the honeymoon!) and I had it almost every meal. Back in reality I...
