I am finally home after work and out of ideas for what I should make to eat. Can you suggest some easy to do and tasty meal recipes for me?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Certainly! Before I give some delicious recipe ideas I would want to know if you have anything in the refrigerator, so that I know what components I need to use.<|im_end|>

Give me a list of 5 healt breakfast ideas.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Sure, a healthy breakfast is a great way to start the day!

- **Overnight oats**: you prepare oats with milk or water + nut butter or chia seeds but *don't* cook, instead store them in your fridge overnight and they will absorb the water on their own, leading to a cold, tasty, and super healthy breakfast the next morning. You can also store them for longer, generally up to a week. Serve with more fruit and yogurt.
- **Regular oatmeal** (ideally rolled or steel-cut, though the latter takes a lot longer and can't be microwaved) with fruit, yogurt, and (optional) nuts
- **Scrambled eggs**: eggs, 1-3tsp oil or butter, and salt
- **Sunny-side up eggs on whole-grain toast**
- **Greek salad** for breakfast (feta, tomatoes, peppers, olives, lettuce). Seriously, you should try it!

If you give me the items in your refrigerator I will be able to give you a more specific list. However, all of the above breakfasts have relatively common ingredients so it's likely at least one of them is suitable. Feel free to ask further questions if you want more ideas or need any clarification, including if you want substitutions.<|im_end|>

**Absolutely! Here's a simple recipe for pasta with white sauce that you can try at home:**

## Ingredients:

1 pound pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, or penne)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese (optional)

## Cooking instructions:

1 - Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
2- While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
3 - Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk until smooth. Cook the butter-flour mixture for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
4 - Gradually whisk in the milk, making sure to remove any lumps. Continue to whisk the mixture until it thickens, which should take around 5-7 minutes.
5 - Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir until the spices are well-incorporated.
6 - Drain the pasta and add it to the saucepan with the white sauce. Toss the pasta with the sauce until it's evenly coated.
7 - If desired, top with grated Parmesan cheese and serve hot.

There you have it! A simple and delicious pasta with white sauce that you can make with basic ingredients and spices. Enjoy your meal!<|im_end|>
