It’s not always easy to have ideas for everyday dishes or simply to find the motivation to cook. But some recipes only take a few minutes and require very few ingredients. The ideal when you don’t feel like it is to make toast, salads or pies, because you just need to cut a few vegetables and/or proteins and that’s it. Moreover on Instagram, the account @lapetitechefmumu offers a very quick onion tart recipe, even cooking.
