During my residency, it was a challenge to find time to cook. After a long day or an especially stressful shift, making myself a meal felt like more trouble than it was worth. After one take-out dinner too many, I made the commitment to treating myself to a home-cooked meal as often as I could — bonus points if that meal lasted me through the week! These five recipes are simple, beginner-friendly, and have stood the test of time. Eat up!

If you don't have an Instant Pot, go buy one right now. (I have no financial interest.) It is the ultimate time-saver and creator of meals that would otherwise take hours to make. This delicious dish, in particular, is perfect for meal prepping — it comes together in one pot! Easy cleanup for the win.

This is one of my favorite breakfasts! It tastes like dessert and it can be combined in so many different ways. I'll mix rolled oats with coconut milk and throw in fresh fruit or a peanut butter and cocoa mix, chia seeds to thicken it up, and agave to sweeten the deal.

I can't promise that this is a super-quick recipe, but I can promise that you won't be disappointed by the results. Talk about a home-cooked meal that rivals the aromas and taste of your nearest South Indian restaurant! Good luck not finishing this all in one go.
