Dahl. I usually use red lentils because they cook pretty quick without soaking. Boil with 2:1 water:lentils. In another pan, fry up garlic, onion and whatever spices you want. I usually use some combination of: fenugreek, mustard seed, fennel, cumin, coriander, turmeric, sweet paprika and curry powder. When the lentils are cooked, add the spice mix in, salt to taste and you’re done.
I add whatever Veg I have to hand and call it stew/soup, 12 mins in a pressure cooker and BAM, chef’s kiss. Bit of cheese on top, croutons if I’m feeling fancy and even the fussy children will enjoy it!
Quinoa, rice cooker, 2:1 water/quinoa, you can make as many batches as you want and then throw in anything else and spices and have stir fry for days.

If you have an oven, you can make a big lasagna, cut it into pieces and deep freeze.
I love doing this. Lately I’ve been roasting a head of cauli with some olive oil and nutmeg and blending it with some soy milk and more oil for the bechamel, I make a lot of lasagna and I think that’s one of the best vegan bechamels.

I haven’t found a ton of uses for oats. Got any recommendations?
My daily breakfast is 10g quick oats, 3 tbsp hemp hearts, 1 tbsp chia seed, 1 tbsp flax and a bunch of frozen berries. I cover with boiling water and let it sit until it cools. That cooks the oats. I put prepare it in a mason jar and take to work.

Try putting beans and rice on a hard shell tortilla and topping it with freshly chopped onion, tomato, shredded lettuce, and taco sauce.
Or eat beans and rice with tortilla chips. Or fry beans and rice in an air fryer. Or fry it in a pan with oil. Lots of easy ways to spice it up!
