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.

https://www.budgetbytes.com/ might tickle your fancy?

for me i've always had alot of congee lol which is like a rice soup/porridge, soak/wash rice and then throw it into the freezer into ice cube trays (the freezing of the water absorbed rice will shatter the rice grain) then boil that frozen waterlogged rice cube into your favourite broth. or you can skip the freezing process and use the instant pot porridge setting.

i've found the easiest thing was canned chicken from costco, with some msg/chicken bouillon was the quickest broth that is my favourite. i prefer it thinned down (basically a thicker chicken soup), then you can throw toppings like veggies or bacon/eggs ontop

i guess you could follow the same process for lentils or even cut lentils into the rice soup for nutrition and stuff
