Hard to beat a good stir fry. Cut up and cook protein of choice, i go steak, but chicken is good and cheaper. Throw in a bag of frozen stir fry veggies and some stir fry sauce. Served on white rice. Easy, quick, and healthy, especially if your sauce is low in sugar.

For the not so quick but delicious category.
Smoked brisket, smoked pork shoulder, sous vide steak, really anything cooked on the big Green egg, pot roast is good and simple and as long as you plan ahead it's easy, just takes along time to cook. There are others, this is just what came to mind.

I'll echo the stir fry sentiment. I do some protein and vegetables in a pan with olive oil and then put that over quinoa so, so often. Super cheap and healthy.

Set out a package of hamburger this morning. Got a tomato on the way home from a sweet corn stand. Summer is awesome.

Dr pepper pulled bbq chicken/pork

Cook your choice of meat in a crockpot with dr pepper (2 liter works best, but leave about 4oz for your sauce). Cook for desired duration. After time is up, shred the meat (should fall apart pretty easily), add your bbq sauce of choice with the left over DP. Then serve on a bun.

Ramen, and I’m not talking about instant ramen. All you need is plain ramen noodles, beef or chicken broth, steak or chicken, shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce, sesame oil, mirin, a soft-boiled egg, and green onions.

Cheese steaks, easy to make and damn good with Au jouis.

Second this. We made almost the exact same thing about a week ago and it was pretty amazing.

I just found something at Hy Vee today- Dr. Pepper baked beans. They are honestly better than drugs or alcohol or sex. Sold by the Serious Bean Company. I mean, if your company name is Serious Bean Company and you make baked beans with Dr. Pepper you’re just printing money.

Go to the “World Foods” aisle at your grocery store and find the Japanese section. Under ordinary circumstances you should find all kinds of Japanese-style noodles there - soba, udon, ramen, etc.
