When I get off work I go to the kitchen and look at what perishables I have in the fridge, then search for "perishable recipes" and read a few results until I find something that sounds interesting, I have the other stuff for, and doesn't take too long. Then search for side dishes that would go with it. I also read the reviews from people who have made it as they often suggest substitutions that make work or don't. Then I start cooking.
You quickly learn which recipe sites have recipes and which are just blog about grandma, the dog, and everything else before they get to a recipe that probably won't even turn out, since the only point was to get you to look at the ads. (I wish there was a way to not see those in search results...)
Once in a while I see something that looks good but takes too long so I do it next week planning ahead. This is rare though - I'm not good at planning a head.
I need to eat so this is just what I do every day. After a lot of practice I can now make some great meals at home, I can rarely find any place to eat out that isn't a disappointment - I can make a much better meal for a lot less money.
Most recipes I come across online have a "jump to recipe" button. If the recipe is still being annoying, I'll click "print recipe" and work off the preview.
it is an anti pattern that I want to discourage though
