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?

Lentils cooked in coconut milk and curry are so good, and has some extra calories from the coconut milk, if you need that. Add any veg you have.

Breakfast for supper.

Leftover noodles fried in chili garlic oil. (I guess not healthy but easy and delicious)

You have a lot of fermented pickles? Chop and put in a grilled cheese sandwich!

I like complicated food but yes if you have glorious condiments, as you seem to, you've already done the complicated part. Pile those fermented veg on brown rice and that would be so good just by itself.

    Dear Lord grilled cheese with fermented veggies. It's heaven. My favorite is summer squash, but anything goes. I have artisan bread made by a crazy baker who has his own cereal fields (and works with cows, not 20th-century machines)--he's awesome, and cheese from the goats I see wandering the forest through ly window. Bliss.

    (I had dhal with fermented tomatoes for dinner. I'm a happy woman.)
