I regularly bake sweet potatoes then add plain yogurt, salted peanuts, feta, nutritional yeast, and drown it in hot sauce. The dish has no name nor should it ever see the light of day. What goblin mode meals do you guys eat?

    Chickpea tuna salad. Drain a can of chickpeas, then mix with a can of tuna (drained, if it’s packed in water), some olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salt. I add diced raw onion if I’m not too tired.

    Microwaved pepperoni chips.

    Put pepperoni on a plate with some paper towels, microwave for one minute. The apartment will smell either heavenly or sickening for the next hour, depending on how much you like pepperoni.

    Works with any sliced sausage really

    I keep a bouquet of dry pasta on my desk that I absentmindedly munch on while I work.

    Sometimes I’ll eat a whole head of cabbage over a day peeling it leaf by leaf.

    Omelet composed of >60% frozen vegetables and seasoned with soy sauce.

    It doesn’t hold itself together at all and it looks disgusting.

    my special treat that my partner hates for me to make but gobbles up bowls of: White Rice, Ground Beef, and Cream of Mushroom soup (campbells can). White rice like you like it, Ground the beef and salt generously after draining grease (helps the beef pop out more in the taste), then I usually do half of the milk called for with the soup.

    Bed of RIce in a bowl, ground beef on top, then pour the cream of mushroom soup on it. Such a warm and crazy good taste but I get looks whenever I bring it up so I don’t make it that often unless it’s just me for a few days.

      That does sound really good and sort of appropriate, like a curried beef or something. Idk why anybody gives you a look lol it’s a protein in sauce served over rice, what’s even weird about it?

        I think it’s a combination of things, like I’m making ground beef so your mind goes taco but you’re getting a soupy bowl. Also, cream of mushroom soup is just one of those weird soups that doesn’t look or sound good on most people’s radar (see it mostly by itself or with a chicken recipe) but always kicks off a casserole or dish the right way. Then I bust out the rice and the confusion just sets in till they realize I’m already done lol.

    Instant noodles, peanut butter, and sriracha. Crack an egg in near the end.

    It’s actually pretty close to pad thai, but screams of struggle meal

      Yeah I definitely started relying on peanut proteins during my years of unemployment.

      Try chopping up a green onion and throwing that in. White bit at the beginning of the boil and the green bits at the end. They’re extremely cheap.

              maybe? i’m quite sure you can use them in the same way though. garlic greens are good too. and depending where you live, you can forage good wild options too. my dad’s back yard usually gets a good crop of 3 pointed leeks that i would harvest when i lived with him.

          You’re probably right. I have never personally seen them more expensive than like $1.25 for a half dozen.

          Frugal tip: You can get a lot more life out of green onions by setting them in a jar of water. Trim what you need from the ends, and the plant will grow probably 3-4 times before you need to replace it.

          In many places in North America field garlic (which is very similar to green onions) grows voraciously in people’s yards in the Spring. Leave a small patch of yard unmowed and you’ll have more than you know what to do with. Just be careful not to mistake it for death camas.

            I’ve got gutter mint, but no volunteer garlic.

            I have plans to eventually start a garden once I’m done tearing up the backyard.

      Update: This was pretty tasty. I’ll probably use just a spoonful of PB next time. I used half the ramen seasoning packet and added a little fish sauce as well. Scallions would definitely kick it up a notch, but that involves significantly more work.

      We do the same thing! Had it yesterday for breakfast. We’ve been buying Ramen packs from Costco that are pretty spicy so we’ve been skipping the Sriracha though.

      Sounds like something I’d pay 16$ to have served by a malnourished hipster on a cutting board to a table lit by a bar bulb as an appetizer.

      This sounded really good… until the maple syrup thing. Why? Why?!

      Don’t get me wrong. Maple syrup is great. On pancakes or so, but this? This truly is an abomination.

        Cause there’s nothing quite like the combination of savoury, salty, spicy and sweet.
        Other favorites of mine are chocolate chili, and my famous habanero honey salad dressing.

        Try some sweet jam on a sharp cheese. It’s such a good blend. Some people mix mustard and jelly but I think you can skip that for blue cheese.

    Guacamole with cottage cheese. The Polish side of my family loves it, but I wouldn’t dare add it to my guac when making it for the Mexican half of my family.

    Pan-fried canned chick peas with black pepper, butter, oregano, basil, and sometimes paprika, chili powder, and hot sauce if I want some kick.

    I cook it when I’m in a rush or tired, it’s done in 10-15 minutes, fills me up, and is packed with good protein.

    But I would never feed it to anybody else, it’s lazy bro/fitness food lol.
