    🗝️ Beef Broccoli Ramen
    2 packets Ramen noodles (seasoning discarded)
    1 lb broccoli florets
    1 lb top sirloin steak, thinly sliced
    Olive oil
    2 green onions chopped
    Sesame seeds for garnish
    Sriracha sauce (optional)
    Sauce:
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    6 Tbsp soy sauce
    1 tsp ground ginger
    2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
    3 Tbsp brown sugar
    1 ½ Tbsp cornstarch
    ½ cup warm beef broth (or water)
    2 Tbsp sesame oil
    Fill a large stockpot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Add the broccoli to the boiling water. After 2 or 3 minutes add the noodles and cook for 3 minutes (or according to package instructions). Drain the broccoli and noodles and set aside. Season steak with salt and pepper. Slice the steak in thin pieces and in a frying or grill pan over medium heat, cook 2 minutes on each side in olive oil. While beef is cooking, mix sauce ingredients together in a bowl. Remove beef from heat and move to a separate plate. Whisk sauce in the pan over medium heat until it thickens up. Add beef immediately. Add broccoli and noodles and stir until all noodles are coated. Remove from heat. Top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds and sriracha sauce, if desired. Enjoy!
    🗝️ Easy Chicken Pesto
    3 to 4 large chicken breasts
    2 Tbsp Olive oil
    8 oz basil pesto
    2 large tomatoes, sliced
    6 slices mozzarella cheese
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Pour olive oil in a grill pan over medium high heat. Sear chicken breasts on both sides until brown but not cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken breasts to a greased ovenproof dish. Top evenly with pesto, mozzarella cheese, and sliced tomatoes. Sprinkle tomatoes with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked all the way through. Heat under the broiler for 2 minutes before bringing out of the oven. Serve with your favorite sides. Enjoy!
    🗝️ Puff Pastry Salmon with Cucumber Sauce
    2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
    4 6 oz salmon filets
    1 egg
    Salt and pepper
    Sauce:
    1 large cucumber, shredded
    ½ cup sour cream
    ½ cup mayonnaise
    1 Tbsp dill, chopped
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Divide into four pieces. Place salmon, seasoned with salt and pepper, top down on the puff pastry. Beat egg in a separate bowl and brush the edges of the pastry with egg wash. Close the bundles and secure with egg wash. Flip salmon bundles seam side down in a greased baking tray. Brush egg wash on the top of the bundles. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through. Meanwhile, combine all the ingredients for the cucumber sauce and set aside. When the salmon is finished, serve with cucumber sauce on the side and your favorite salad.

    These meals look delicious! I’ve come to realize over the past few months that cooking a meal isn’t the part that exhausts me - it’s the dishes afterwards. So my new goal for ‘easy’ meals is one pot, minimum prepping utensils! I haven’t experimented with instant pot meals, but that would be ideal, so I can wash all the dishes while it cooks 😅

    When you don't feel like cooking, all you need is an idea. Save these ideas for the next time. I haven't done the salmon en croute but I have done salmon fillets covered with pesto and wrapped in foil many times. Wrapping it in puff pastry would make it company-ready, don't you think?

    These look great as quick weeknight dinners and I can’t wait to try them, but I have to be honest-when I don’t feel like cooking, chopping, prepping meats and sauces, rolling dough, and stove-top cooking feels way too much for me. Perhaps you can do a video on ‘no prep’, assembly only meals that you throw into the instant pot, oven or don’t even require cooking.

      Keep a stock of those bottled cook-in sauces on hand. Any flavour you like will do the job. Tomato based for an Italian flavour, korma for Indian, etc even a tin of cream of mushroom soup.. You can also buy packets of miso which last for ages in the fridge and mix it with a bit of water and throw in some sliced mushrooms.

    Hello Jennifer! I wanted to “challenge” you to try omitting the dry spices from the ramen recipe and use the flavor packe combined with the wet ingredients. I believe it will be just as good if not better, and won’t be wasted! And even faster cook time. 😊 my mom does a version of this with chicken and stir fry veggies and it’s always so good. I couldn’t believe you were only using two packets to feed everyone 😅 or you could use the sauce as a marinate for the meat as well.
