It's a Monday and maybe you have a fridge full of groceries ready to go for the week, or maybe, you didn't have time for that this weekend and you're just not feeling like cooking tonight. Enter the No Cook Dinner idea! This was my actual dinner the other night because I was just feeling a little lazy and didn't want to mess with any pots or pans. As much as I love being in the kitchen and cooking, sometimes there are days or nights when I just want to get something on a plate and kick back with the DVR.
I had all these ingredients in my fridge and put them together on a plate and called it a night! Obviously there is no real recipe here...you can pick and choose whatever you like. You can also do a smaller version for a snack during the day, or use this for an easy lunch at the office.
My plate was a mix of vegetables, healthy fats, carbs and proteins. The dip in the middle is my favorite store bought find for a "ranch" style dip. It's a brand called Bolthouse Farms and this is their Classic Ranch Yogurt Dressing. It's the best version I've found that is not loaded with a bunch of added sugar or artificial ingredients and still tastes delicious! If you want to try it out, you can find it in the refrigerated section of the produce department at your grocery store.
Make your own plate and feel free to add what YOU like...maybe carrots instead of cucumber, rice crackers instead of Triscuits, mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar, add some pepperoni to the plate...go crazy and enjoy putting together dinner in just a couple minutes!
