One Pot Meal
A zero-effort dinner with great flavour and fast cook time.
Simple and nutritious meals are an important thing to have in your back pocket, especially as a student. In a previous post, I shared The Ultimate Sausage Pasta, a quick and easy recipe from my housemate’s friend.
This time, we’re looking at the One Pot Meal, one of my favourite zero-effort dinners to make when I just really don’t feel like cooking. Minimal ingredients (two of which can sit in your cupboard until you need them) and an under half-hour cook time make this the perfect meal for when you’re tired or need a break from the kitchen.
As an added bonus, the Italian sausage adds great flavour on its own, so you don’t need to worry about whether you have the right spices or not!
Check out below for the recipe!
Prep: 5 mins Cook: 20 mins Overall: 25 mins
Ingredients:
1 pack (500 g) mild Italian sausage*
2 tbsp. (30 g) unsalted butter
2 cans sliced potatoes
2 cans cut green beans
* I prefer Johnsonville brand.
First, slice the sausages into ½ inch (1 cm) pieces.
Next, melt the butter in a large wok or high-rimmed skillet with a lid on medium heat.
Add the sausage and cook until cooked through, about 10 mins, stirring frequently.
NOTE: If you’re using the sausage from frozen, you’ll need at least an extra 5 mins to the cooking time.
Drain the canned beans and potatoes, discarding the liquid. Add them to the wok or skillet and stir in with the sausage.
Turn the heat to low and cover with the lid. Let cook until the potatoes and beans have warmed up, about 8 mins, stirring occasionally.
Once everything is heated up, divide and serve!
Overall, I give this a 5/5. It’s simple, tasty, and low effort - truly a fantastic meal for after a long day.
Puff pastry with crumbles

Mix the butter, baking powder, vanilla sugar, flour and sugar together and knead it with your hands until it is no longer feeling 'wet' or buttery, add more sugar and flour if needed.
Roll out the ready made puff pastry and cut it into squares (don't separate, just cut it). Sprinkle the crumbles on the sheet of pastry.
Bake in the oven at 180°C convection/ air circulation mode ( ???, no idea what the correct translation is) for 15-20 minutes till slightly brown.
Enjoy!
Avocados, bell peppers and steak on romaine. Salt and pepper to taste. Keeping healthy eating simple. Will keep 3-4 days in fridge but I prep for 5-6 days. I live dangerously. (;
Best ever steak and eggs
Floating Cloud Eggs
Eggs are the most usable ingredients of all time, if you don’t have anything at home you just have to poach an egg to make you a snake, that’s it. And it is also helpful in weight loss, eye health, reduce the risk of stroke etc. That is why I have got an amazing new recipe that will make your day.
Let’s get started with no further delays...
Ingredients...
I. 4 eggs V. kosher salt
II. 1/4 cup chopped chives VI. Freshly ground black pepper
III. 1/4 cup crumbled bacon VII. 1/4 lb. deli ham, chopped (optional)
IV. Black Pepper VIII. 1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan
Direction to cook...
Break the eggs and separate them by placing the yolks in 4 separate bowls and the whites in 1 large bowls.
Season the egg whites with salt and pepper. Then using a whisk beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in Parmesan, beacon or ham and chives. Create 4 mounds of egg whites on the parchment-lined baking sheet and make a deep well in the centre of each.
Preheat the oven 450° and line the large baking sheet with parchment pepper. Bake it until slightly golden, for about 3 minutes.
Then carefully add a yolk to the centre of each cloud and again bake them until the yolks are just set, which will take another 2 to 3 minutes.
Take them out of the oven and season them with some chives and with some grated parmesan. And just enjoy your clouds.
