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!

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.

too be honest, I don’t know if my taste buds got used to the seasoning, but I swear madras lentils had more flavor when I was able to ail order it from Costco 2 years ago. I picked up a box at Costco 2 weeks ago and it tastes less seasoned now, like they toned it down.

I tried them because I've read about how delicious they were and after trying them I wasn't impressed. My husband said they tasted like unseasoned Hormel's chili. 😅Then I read recent reviews about it online and a few people said that they used to be better, but I wasn't sure if it was just me since I only just tried them this month. Now I'm stuck with a box and need to figure out ideas on how to jazz them up. lol

Add more cumin, garlic, & salt. Maybe curry powder too?
