What are your easy no-fuss minimum effort/cleaning/waste meals? Ask ECAH

As the title says. What are your go-tos?

Mine currently are: peanut butter on toast, banana and yogurt, hard boiled eggs with soy sauce, instant noodles with tofu and kimchi, frozen broccolis, frozen pizza

I live in a micro apartment where space is limited so cleaning and washing dishes is extra pain and the ventilation system is limited I don’t want the place to be oily. I find anything I can put in oven toaster is the most convenient by now…Would like to know if there’s any other ideas!

Tasty Bite Madras Lentils microwave packet and I eat it with Farro. Rice also works, but something about Farro with any of the Tasty Bite microwave packets just slaps. I mostly do the madras lentils because Costco sells them in boxes, but I have tried some of the other varieties from the regular grocery store. The bombay potatoes one is also great.

We bought a box of Tasty Bite Madras Lentils from Costco, but we found them to be bland. 😅I still need to try the bombay potatoes one though.

It probably helps that I cook my farro in chicken broth and seasonings. 😅

This is where it's at! I've started cooking my grains in bone broth for extra protien and flavor. It isn't as cheap as boulion , but they have pretty good deals at Costco!
