I need your help comrades!

I am moving on Saturday. And I need some ways to make meals. I don’t care which culture, the more diverse the better.

Here are some factors I kinda need:

  • not too expensive to make (money and time)
  • not a weird consistency like salad (sensory issues of autism) bread or steak has the perfect consistency
  • I don’t taste that well, so the taste should be rather intense (like steak)
  • vegetarian (because I think vegan will be too hard with my requirements) if it isn’t vegetarian I also take recepies but it would be better if it would be (so not stake after all)

Here are examples kind of like this:

  • pizza
  • pasta with tomato sauce
  • garlic bread

pls pls reccomend 🥺

EDIT: Please also drop non vegitarian options, if you cant think of vegitarian stuff. My requirements are so many, it will be difficult to find something that will meet all requirements.

    My go tos are Rice and Beans, Hummus and Veggies, Mujadara (lentil rice combo with onions), or some other combo of grain + vegetable + protein, whether that be a wrap, sandwich, or bowl form.

    Dried goods keep well, are cheap, filling, and healthy. I use an Instant Pot to cook them quickly, and that saves money in the long run.

    Examples of protein includes Tofu, Chickpeas, or even nuts.

    I also add a sauce, usually a creamy sauce like Hummus or a vegan Chipotle Mayo, and keep pickled or fermented vegetables like Red Onions.

    Adding these all together, you have near-infinite combos. Make your protein, sauce, and veggies on your first day, and your grains, then combine in different ways throughout the week. It’s a good, time and money efficient system.
