"Lazy to cook
And stir and fry?
It's time you gave
This dish a try.
Nutrition in a pot
Bakes while you rest,
It cooks itself
And gives you it's best.
Simplicity in summer
Autumn, winter or fall,
In fact so simple
That it needs no recipe at all!"
Cooking can't get any easier. It just can't.
Incurring a head injury has its benefits. It forced me into creating quick and simple recipes that were nutritious, without compromising the flavors you crave. After all, who wants to eat bland food when unwell! This was a food miracle. Do try it, I promise it will not disappoint.
