Post # 5 - Simple Recipes I Actually Love Making Again
Posted under: Food & Enjoyment | The Full Life Edit
There’s a quiet kind of joy in making something simple — not just because you have to eat, but because it brings you comfort.
For a while, I lost touch with that feeling. Cooking became a chore. I overcomplicated it, tried to meal prep like a fitness blogger, or guilted myself into making meals that looked good on Pinterest but didn’t feel like me.
Eventually, I came back to the basics — recipes I actually love making, not just once, but over and over again. They’re comforting, no-fuss, and full of flavor. They’re not fancy… but they feed both body and spirit.
So here they are: five go-to recipes I never get tired of — and always come back to when life feels too fast.
🍝 1.
Garlic Butter Pasta with Greens
This is my lazy day hero. Just boil pasta, sauté some garlic in butter, toss in chopped spinach or kale, and top it with a handful of grated parmesan and a squeeze of lemon.
✅ Why I love it:
It takes 15 minutes, feels cozy, and somehow tastes like something from a café.
🍳 2.
Savory Breakfast Bowl
I layer warm rice or quinoa with scrambled eggs, avocado, a drizzle of hot sauce, and whatever leftover roasted veggies I have.
✅ Why I love it:
It works any time of day. Plus, it’s a great way to clean out the fridge while still feeling like I made something real.
🥣 3.
Creamy Tomato Chickpea Stew
This one’s perfect for cooler days. I simmer canned chickpeas in coconut milk, canned tomatoes, garlic, cumin, and a pinch of chili flakes. Serve with toast or rice.
✅ Why I love it:
It’s rich, nourishing, and so good you’ll forget it was mostly pantry staples.
🥑 4.
Lazy Girl Guac Toast
Mashed avocado, lime juice, sea salt, and chili flakes — that’s it. Sometimes I add a poached egg, or feta, or sliced cherry tomatoes.
✅ Why I love it:
It takes five minutes and makes me feel fancy with minimal effort.
🍪 5.
One-Bowl Banana Oat Cookies
Mashed bananas, oats, a scoop of peanut butter, and chocolate chips. Mix and bake. Done.
✅ Why I love it:
They’re healthy-ish, toddler-approved (if you have one), and perfect with tea or coffee.
✨ The Full-Life Feel
These recipes aren’t revolutionary — but they’re reliable, nourishing, and familiar. They make life feel more manageable, and more delicious, without demanding too much of me.
And honestly? That’s the kind of food I want in this chapter of my life.
