Start with the protein you have
Eggs, chicken, canned beans, tofu, leftover meat — any of these can carry a dinner. Anchor the meal around the protein first, then build carbs and vegetables around it.
Use the 3-ingredient rule
The best weeknight recipes need just 3 hero ingredients plus pantry basics (oil, salt, garlic, spices). Don't try to use every wilting thing at once.
