5 Foods for a Lazy Sunday

Can a Sunday be lazy? Why not? I am lazy on weekends and my Sunday is also lazy. After working hard for 5 days we have only two days as weekends and in those two days also, if we have some personal errands to attend on Saturday, then definitely I become a lazy bird on Sunday and not in a mood to cook. I am writing this article from my personal experiences and wanted to share it with others. So, Lazy birds, let's see what foods can we have on a Lazy Sunday…

1. Bread and Sandwiches: 

If you want to cook breakfast or a snack in less than 15 minutes, then bread and sandwiches will come to your rescue and accompany you in your laziness. These are the staple breakfasts. Any simple spread will go with bread and become a yummy sandwich. It can be simple jam, cheese, peanut butter, veg masala, or non-veg filling. If you do not want any spread, then a simple bread toast will help.

Within 5 to 10 minutes, your sandwich will be ready and you can have a lazy breakfast. I bet your mouth will not be lazy in tasting this food. Build as many sandwich stacks as you want and have a mouthful breakfast.

2. Eggs:

Eggs are small in size but high in nutrient power. It has high protein, fats, Iron, vitamins, and minerals so many nutrients are packed in its small shell. If you want a breakfast with combo nutrients which is easy to cook, then this option is the best. The most wonderful fact about this item is that it becomes a tasty side dish but does not need any other side dish. It is a complete dish. Simply boiled eggs can be your breakfast. You can try different varieties of omelets, scrambled eggs, egg fry, egg roast, etc, according to your mood and taste and you can have a stomach-full breakfast in less time. Though at times, they go better with another plate, in most cases, people learn how to make French toast or fluffy pancakes to go with eggs.

3. Battered Foods:

Today I discovered a new word in food terminology i.e. “ Battered Foods”. What are battered foods? The food which is prepared by any batter is known as battered food. The preparation of batter differs in time and consistency. One type of batter needs fermentation for a few hours and the other type is instant batter which can be prepared within 5 to 10 minutes. The fermented batter will come in handy for 2 to 3 days. The only need is that you should have batter one day prior and you can prepare a wide variety of foods like pancakes, fritters, Idli, Dosa, Vada, etc within 15 to 20 minutes. 

4. Instant Mixes:

Instant mixes or foods are food that is a combination of the main ingredients like rice/flour/noodles etc with all the required seasoning mixed together and packed. Many varieties of instant mixes like upma mix, dosa/idli mix, chutney mix, etc are sold in the market or we can prepare them at home and store them so that these can be used as per directions, whenever we want. This type of food comes in handy to working women/men or those who want to spend less time cooking and can be cooked within 30 minutes. 

5. Rice with simple veg/ non-veg fry:

If you are not in the mood to cook a full course meal, then simple boiled rice with any vegetable or non-veg stir fry is great. It takes only 30 minutes to cook this combo. The aroma of freshly boiled rice and sizzling fry makes you more hungry and you can have a hearty meal on your Sunday while still being lazy.

So, folks, enjoy your Sunday lazily with the above foods and have a relaxing weekend!
