Attempt at homemade canned salmon dinner

Nobody in this house appreciates me so I made this for myself

Decided if no one was going to notice my efforts around here, I was at least going to eat well.

Canned salmon. Mayo. Dijon. Lemon. Capers. Made twelve of them.

Ate four standing at the stove. Zero regrets.

Ingredients

By simmerrecipes.com

Main Ingredients 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs) 8 oz egg noodles 4 tbsp real butter 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped for garnish Salt and pepper to taste Instructions

Preparation Prep your ingredients by chopping garlic and any desired vegetables. Cooking Sear the chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the egg noodles, then simmer for 8-10 minutes until the noodles are al dente. Remove from heat, stir in the remaining butter, and sprinkle with parsley before serving. Notes Serve the chicken and buttered noodles hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired. This dish pairs well with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. For added flavor, include your favorite vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers during cooking. Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. Fresh parsley enhances the dish’s appearance, but dried parsley can be used in a pinch. You can substitute egg noodles for whole wheat or gluten-free noodles based on dietary needs.

Ingredients

Fresh Fruits

1 cup Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

2 pieces Stone fruits (peaches, nectarines, plums)

2 pieces Citrus fruits (lemons, limes)

1 cup Tropical fruits (mangoes, pineapple)

2 cups Watermelon and cantaloupe

Dairy and Alternatives

1 cup Greek yogurt Substitute coconut yogurt for dairy-free

1 cup Heavy cream Coconut cream works as a substitute

8 oz Cream cheese Vegan versions available

1 quart Vanilla ice cream Or dairy-free alternatives

Pantry Essentials

1 cup Graham crackers or digestive biscuits

1 tbsp Vanilla extract

1/4 cup Honey or maple syrup For natural sweetening

1/2 cup Nuts (almonds, pistachios)

1/4 cup Shredded coconut

1/2 cup Dark or white chocolate chips

Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Choose Your Base - Select your preferred base—graham cracker crust, yogurt, ice cream, or fresh fruit. For graham cracker crusts, crush cookies finely and mix with melted butter. Press firmly into your serving dish and chill for 10 minutes before adding fillings.

Step 2: Prepare Fresh Fruits - Wash and cut fruits into bite-sized pieces. For berries, a quick rinse is sufficient—pat dry with paper towels. For stone fruits, remove pits and slice thinly. Toss cut fruits with a splash of lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 3: Layer or Combine Ingredients - For parfaits and trifles, layer ingredients in clear glasses for visual appeal. For frozen treats, blend ingredients until smooth before freezing. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth mixing in no-bake cheesecakes.

Step 4: Chill or Freeze Appropriately - Most desserts require chilling (1-2 hours) or freezing (3-4 hours). Small portions freeze faster than large ones, so consider individual servings.

Notes

Refrigerated desserts last 2-3 days in airtight containers. Frozen treats remain good for up to 2 weeks when properly stored. Allow frozen desserts to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving. Store desserts without garnishes, adding fresh elements just before serving.

okay but can we talk about ground beef orzo???

listen. LISTEN. i just discovered the most life-changing dinner hack and i need everyone to know about it immediately

what even is this magic

so you know orzo? that tiny rice-shaped pasta that you've probably walked past 1000 times at the store? turns out when you cook it WITH ground beef in one pot it becomes this creamy, risotto-like situation that tastes like you actually tried

no i'm not joking

no you don't have to stir it constantly

yes it's actually easy

here's why i'm obsessed:

✨ everything cooks in ONE POT (less dishes = more time for doom scrolling)

✨ takes like 30 minutes max

✨ costs basically nothing

✨ tastes fancy enough that you could serve it to your crush and they'd be impressed

✨ absorbs flavors like a DREAM

the vibe check on different versions:

italian style: creamy tomato sauce, parmesan, basil. this is your comfort food era. 10/10 no notes.

greek manestra: CINNAMON AND MINT WITH BEEF. sounds weird, tastes incredible. you'll feel like you unlocked a secret level.

taco orzo: literally just taco flavors but make it pasta. add black beans. top with all the things. chaos in the best way.

mediterranean: olives, feta, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes. this one makes you feel healthy even though you're eating carbs and beef lmao

the formula is literally:

brown the beef (make it crispy, trust me)

add garlic and onions (your kitchen will smell AMAZING)

dump in orzo + liquid + seasonings

simmer for like 15 minutes

add cheese/cream/whatever

devour immediately

pro tips from someone who's made this way too many times:

use good broth because the orzo is gonna absorb ALL of it

don't skimp on browning the beef, those crispy bits = flavor town

if it looks too dry add more liquid, orzo is thirsty af

fresh herbs at the end make it chef's kiss

leftovers are even better the next day (if you have self control, which i don't)

in conclusion

if you're tired of the same boring dinners and you want something that:

doesn't require 47 pots and pans

actually tastes good

won't destroy your budget

can be made while watching netflix

then ground beef orzo is your new personality trait

you're welcome for changing your life

saves recipe 47 times and forgets about it for 3 months
