Some people think that cooking from scratch takes a lot of time or is very expensive. However, this doesn´t have to be that way. Today I would like to share how easy it is to create a delicious dinner using leftovers and things you have in the fridge.
Ususally some type of meat (or eggs) and a few veggies is all you need to get dinner ready in no time.
Tonight for example, I had 4 sausages, bacon, a few tomatoes, 1 zucchini, and a rest of a red pepper.
Start by frying bacon and sausages (or whatever meat leftovers you have) for about 5 to 10 minutes.
In the meantime, cut up your veggies.
Next, add all of the veggies to the skillet (I quickly removed the sausage to also cut them up).
Season with salt, pepper, garlic and paprika spice.
Add a little bit of water to the pan, and after another couple of minutes, you´ll have a quick and easy dinner.
How much time does it take?
The entire dinner took about 15 minutes to prepare and cook.
What about cleanup?
There is only 1 cutting board, 1 knife and a skillet to clean.
So, as you see, paleo food neither has to be expensive nor does it have to be a big hassle to prepare.
Any type of meat, cut up and mixed with whatever veggies at hand, can be turned into a great dinner or lunch. If you prepare more whenever you cook, you will also have leftovers for work the next day.
From my past posts you can see how often I actually follow this process and if you are short on time or just getting used to cooking for yourself, then this method is a great way to get started.
