Welcome to Recipes of a Lazy Cook
I am a Happy Watermelon.
I also have developed some recipes over the years living on my own that are inexpensive, easy enough to make, and can freeze well for later.
I mainly have this to share recipes with my friends, but feel free to explore and share as well.
Lazy Cook's Latest Recipes
Common Things
Some stuff I always have and will assume you have around your kitchen:
-
Kosher Salt (Really, use the Kosher stuff. Iodinized/table salt is fine but it is saltier by volume than kosher is. Kosher works WAY better on meats and veggies due to its size).
-
Black Pepper (Whole corns in a grinder ideally)
-
Vegetable or Canola oil. Something relatively flavorless and with a higher smoke point (NOT Extra Virgin Olive Oil, but regular olive oil should be fine)
-
Various Pans and Pots
-
A good knife for chopping and dicing
I also know a lot of recipes assume you know stuff already. This one will too, to some extent. However, here are some basic practical terms with a brief definition:
-
Sauté - Cooking over medium-ish heat with a little oil until veggies start to soften.
-
Dice - Cut stuff into small pieces. There are all kinds of ways of doing this.
If you are confused by any of these, I'm sure someone far more charismatic than me can explain it in a video

I am not a stock photo of an older woman.
I am also against AI generated creative content. So that is going to be a battle.
I am not on any social media. If you find someone claiming to be me, that is not me.
I encourage anyone to use these recipes. I think learning how to do stuff is great and should be free. However, I do not give permission for people to use my recipes in ways to be monetized. You do not have permission to publish these recipes for your own profit. If you wish to republish these for non-profit purposes, reach out to me.
