Tuna salad sandwich

Tuna, celery, onion, mayo, dry dill, garlic powder, pickles if you want in a bowl and mix. Spread on toast and that's it. Has plenty of protein and will keep you full.

Next is ramen.

Boil water to cook ramen noodles

Stir fry some onion, scallion whites, other hard veggies and garlic, once tender add some soy sauce, broth and some bouillon powder, and soft or leafy veg and the scallion greens.

Let that cook and add noodles and a light drizzle of sesame oil

Pretty much all of them. I've made it a project to feed myself with just nonperishables given like 30 minutes of cooking a night, and I'm about 75% of the way there, I'd say. Salad greens and eggs seem to be impossible to replace, but I can realistically have my own chicken coop and a little growing area indoors. Canadian food prices and qualities are fucked, yo, especially away from big centers.

Last night, I had stierum with a simple salad. It's a bit like a single, big savoury pancake, and you eat it cut into cubes. The dressing is cream (the one rule-breaking element, for now), a dash of vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. I like to let it soak into the bread a bit

On nights I really DGAF, my go-tos are pasta with jarred sauce, or shakshuka. You can get shakshuka sauce in a jar now, so you just empty it into a frying pan, crack four eggs in, and cover until they're cooked. Serve with toast, which you can butter with vegetable oil or ghee.

You can make a vegetarian pulled pork with canned green jackfruit, an onion, bottled barbecue sauce, buns and jarred red cabbage and apple in place of the coleslaw. You pretty much pull apart the jackfruit, and add it with the sauce to sauteed onions. It's delicious, all three components are slightly sweet and they go together well.

I'll stop there, unless somebody is actually interested, but I've got a few more.

Rice, pisto from mercadona and fried egg.

Carbonara. It's ridiculously easy and very tasty.

Chicken Teriyaki. I often have left over grilled chicken breast or thighs so the hard part is already done. I just throw the chicken into a skillet along with some broccoli, pour in store bought teriyaki sauce and serve it on a bowl of rice.

Roasted peppers and pesto pasta with sun-dried tomatoes.

5-min ravioli.

• Preheat oven to 425 MAGA temperature units.
• Put as many frozen brussles sprouts as you can fit in a single layer in an 8x8 roasting pan (disposable pan for extra laziness).
• Oh come on. You can fit another couple in there. Just cram 'em in.
• That's better.
• Spray olive oil all over 'em.
• Garlic salt all over 'em.
• Paprika.
• Onion powder.
• Black pepper.
• Throw a frozen Aidells-brand pre-cooked andouille or italian sausage on top.
• Cook for an hour.

If you want to be just a little less lazy, you can throw a handful of raw pecans on top of the brussles sprouts to roast about 18-20 minutes before that hour is up.

Sourdough pancakes. Just put some oil in the pan, pour your starter, and add some spices.

In a saucepan caramelize some onions (or at least until translucent), then add a package of ground beef and heat until cooked through (optionally spice) then throw some cheese (ideally a provolone or other neutral cheese) on top until it's melted... shovel all that into a baguette and enjoy a munkwich.

Oh I have a lot of recipes like this, all pasta based because it takes just 10 minutes to boil the noodles.

• Cream or tomato based sauce - Microwave meatballs that are fully-cooked out of the pack for 3 minutes. Toss in the pan with onions and garlic, pour bottled sauce, mix in noodles.

• Pasta limone with shrimp - Generously salt water for boiling noodles. Fry a pack of fully-cooked shrimp with butter, garlic, onions, and lemon pepper. Mix in noodles. Add a couple of spoons of salted pasta water. Squeeze half a lemon. Sprinkle a good amount of parmesan.

• Peanut pasta - Dilute 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter in the pan with water until you get a saucy consistency. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and sesame oil. Add a couple of spoons of salted pasta water. Mix in noodles.

If there is leftover rice in the rice cooker, a fried egg, chili paste and pork fu on that rice is great. Avocado on there is good too. Chili paste on rice if you don't want to make an egg.

A piece of cheese and an apple is good. Apple and peanut butter good. Cheese and crackers good.

I think your best bet, though, is to cook and save a portion you can pop in the microwave when you don't want to cook. And keep something like hummus on hand, healthy and easy. Seasoned canned beans.

Grilled veggies, crispy garbanzo, some Greek yogurt and zaatar. Super quick and easy.

Breaded chicken tenders with spaghetti and jarred sauce or pesto.
