so, asking for a friend... how do you feed your kids if you eat out every night and can't cook at home?
Is the friend:
1. Unknowledgeable about cooking?
2. Missing the equipment to cook?
3. Unmotivated to cook?
4. Other?
#2 is hard because without some basic equipment cooking at home really sucks. #1 can be solved by reading recipes and youtube videos. Just look for beginner recipes. #3 is probably a much bigger conversation.
Roasting veggies isn't hard:
1. Oven to 350 - 400
2. Cut veggies and drizzle olive oil and season with salt and pepper
3. Put in oven for 30 minutes turning once halfway through. Adjust time based on how done you like things.
That basic recipe can be used for broccoli, carrots, asparagus, potatoes (cut into small pieces), and more.
Meat (beef, chicken, pork) basic recipe:
1. Skillet to medium heat
2. Season meat with salt and pepper (or other seasonings if you have them)
3. When pan is hot add olive oil and let that heat up.
4. Add meat to pan turning every 3-4 minutes (to keep a side from burning) until done.
I'd say about half my dinners are some variant of that. For kids picky kids I have no idea sorry.
