My family left earlier today for a vacation. I'm on my own for the first time in forever. No way I'll cook elaborate meals for just me--we cook every meal from scratch, I want a break.
Tonight I'm having leftover rice sauteed with coral lentils, fermented zucchini+coriander, fermented garlic+onion, toasted coriander seeds and ground cumin.
It's lovely. The pop from lactofermented veggies works so well with lentils.

Ideas for no-hassle healthy meals for the next 14 meals, please?

i always tell myself this. i crashed my bike during a race, and was like “i’m gonna make a slop bowl of mac n cheese and tuna.” but… i can’t just put the tuna in with the noodles; even if it’s canned i can still sauté it in some garlic and butter. may as well add some of this togarashi for a little heat. and everyone knows mustard makes cheese taste cheesier. speaking of cheese, i got some parmigiano regiano. let’s put some of these green onions on top; first bite is with your eyes. and of course some panko will add a textural contrast…

    Canned chili is the superior box mac addition anyways.

    Speaking of lazy meals... Put a can of chili and a block of cream cheese in a pan over low to medium heat. When it's all combined, you have a creamy chili dip to eat with chips.
