What to Eat When Nothing Sounds Good – Best 10 Ideas

Here are our best ideas for food to eat when nothing sounds good

Fried rice

Fried rice is just rice fried with oil and vegetables in a wok. It tastes great and it is a great use for the leftover rice in your fridge. If you’re in no mood for experimentation in the kitchen, you can order fried rice from most Thai or Chinese takeout places.

Bread and fancy cheese

Bread on its own is not exciting, but make a sandwich out of bread and any of the fancy cheeses you buy and never use, and your taste buds will be tingling with delight. Blue, brie, feta, gouda, or mozzarella; whichever one you’ve got, pull it out of the cupboard, put it together with any kind of bread and you’ve got food.

Popcorn

It’s not food, or is it? It’s corn, butter, sugar, or salt – that sounds like food. Get your own corn and pop it in a pot on your stove, or pick up microwave popcorn from any store around. Pop it, and you’ve got food; light, yet strangely filling if you eat enough of it.

Cereal

Whether it’s midday or dinner time, there’s no reason you can’t have cereal as a meal. There’s a huge variety of cereal in the stores, so pick out one you’ve never tried and have fun eating.

Egg drop soup

This is chicken brought with beaten eggs in it. The other ingredients can be any seasoning you find in your kitchen. This meal is simple and you probably already have the ingredients. You can also order this from Chinese takeout places.

Chicken thighs and sweet potatoes

This is so delicious and so easy; anyone can make it. You can make this quickly in your oven with things you already have in your fridge.
