My life has fallen apart because of Trump/Musk taking my job and the American economy becoming a dumpster fire.
I have turned to frozen margarita pizzas as a source of nutrition. To spruce up my pies I chop up spinach, mix in a can of diced green chilies, and season with whatever I have on hand. If I have an extra bag of mozzarella I throw some of that in there too. I let it sit for five or so minutes then spread that on top of the pizza. I add five to ten extra minutes to the baking time.
Got any cheap and fast cooking tips along those lines?
–Extra points for vegetarian tips.
If you’re boiling rice, you can add an equal serving count of lentils to the same pot and increase the amount of water, it cooks for about the same length of time and then you have two macronutrients in one, all you need is some vegetables for a full balanced meal. Peas and carrots are easy, or broccoli is good and adds some iron which is important for vegetarians.
Also, peanut butter sandwiches are a good cheap option for handling cravings. Opt for whole grain bread if it’s in your budget. Real whole grain, not white bread with just enough whole grains thrown in so they could include it on the label. The bread itself should be brown. It’s more filling and has more nutrients.
I have a part time job that doesn’t pay the bills. My lunch 95% of the time at work is peanut butter (only ingredients peanuts and salt), jelly (reduced sugar), banana, and chia seeds on multi grain bread. I sneak in chia seeds into my meals whenever I can. They’re a good source of protein and I find my joint pain has reduced significantly since starting to eat them.
