When you’re tired of cooking, these 10 easy recipes help you get food on the table ASAP - The Washington Post

Silken tofu on rice with a drizzle of soy sauce and chile oil; quesadillas; nubbins of cheese, a stack of crackers and an apple or pear; scrambled eggs on a slice of toast; angel hair pasta tossed with butter and lemon zest; canned tuna forked through with mayonnaise and pickle juice — these are a few of my favorite ways to get a meal on the table in 15 minutes or less.

I dug through our Recipe Finder archives for more ideas, miracle meals that take minutes and feed at least two. They depend on quick-cooking proteins, pantry ingredients, condiments for hits of flavor and basics such as pasta, rice, bread and eggs. Many cook in one pan, and others are assembled in moments, but they're all guaranteed to satisfy.

Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas. This riff on fajitas, featuring chicken breasts, onions and bell peppers, comes together in minutes and cooks quickly on a sheet pan. Serve it with steamed tortillas and sour cream.

Creamy Greek Noodle Soup. Here's a creamy soup recipe without any cream in it. This avgolemono gets a head start thanks to premade chicken stock. Onions, carrots and noodles add texture while the signature egg and lemon juice mixture ensures every spoonful is creamy.

Broiled Shrimp With Shaved Zucchini and Pecan Salad. The key element here is the shrimp, which get tossed in a spicy sauce before they're slid under the broiler for a few minutes. Serve them with a pecan-studded shaved vegetable salad, or on a plate next to couscous or arugula dressed in lemon and olive oil for a quicker dinner.

Fast Blender Tomato Soup. Though this soup is creamy, it contains no dairy. Instead, olive oil and bread blend in with garlic, onions and canned tomatoes to make the simplest tomato soup ever.

Grilled Kimcheese. You could make a classic grilled cheese … or you could make a grilled kimcheese. Kimchi adds incredible flavor to this pan-fried sandwich; slices of pear or apple add a touch of sweetness.

Simplest Lentil Curry. Red lentils are the fastest way to dal. They're split, so they cook especially quickly. In this recipe, onion, garlic, ginger and spices give them a richness that's offset by a spoonful of creamy yogurt. Serve it atop steamed rice for a full and fulfilling meal.

Spicy, Smoky Turkey Sandwich. Mash a chipotle into some mayonnaise for a little kick of flavor, then layer on sliced turkey, pepper jack and spinach for a fresh spin on the lunch special.

Mushroom "Risoniotto." Risotto can be incredibly comforting on a cold night, but it can take quite awhile to cook. Use orzo instead for a creamy riff on classic mushroom risotto. Or try this Instant Pot risotto, which needs just 30 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

For a Healthyish twist, try making these homemade maple vanilla marshmallows—they take these brownies to the next level and are almost reminiscent of a s'mores brownie. You can also add these marshmallows to a coffee and baileys for the perfect cozy drink.

Virginia Rodgers' weekly phone-in program on Feb. 4 used several vintage poems and limericks from 1985 to help her fellow TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) 0308 Chapter members stay motivated and focused on their health goals.

Dodie Ruskie shared her recipe for a quick lunch treat that starts with frozen vegetables, optional Italian meatballs, avocado salsa and Parmesan cheese.

For recipes and information on 0308 activities, call Marie Stover at 301-824-3245 or Crawford at 301-730-1638.

Linda Norris and Fanny Crawford worked on the chapter's chili recipes. The group's "socially distanced walkers" averaged 70% of last month's weekly mileage records, slowed by three days of snowy streets and walkways this week when boots and shovels replaced walking shoes and pedometers.
