Some days, you need a reminder that eating anything is better than eating nothing.

Pros: high protein food

Cons: makes a spoon dirty

Suggested improvements to recipe: note to thoroughly lick spoon clean, or use a finger to swipe up the peanut butter.

I need this book.

I had no idea I was qualified to be a cookbook author.

I substituted a knife for the spoon and I feel like it still came out ok.

Ah, I've been making these recipes for decades. It tracks with my cooking skills.

I would give credit, but your username being CarbonatedPastaSauce gives different expectations to any recipe with your name attached

Microwave it for two seconds first. 😙🤌🏻

I would steal this if I wasn't allergic to soy XD

There are definitely food deserts in the US.

Accepting that’s is ok to sometimes eat a frozen meal has been absolutely instrumental in helping me reduce eating out.

I got caught in the trap of perfect, trying to make tasty, healthy, low-cost meals, and then giving up when I couldn’t just do that every day with no experience.

just pointing out that the russian supermarkets have these for like $2-$3 per pound, basically ravioli. you can dump a serving into a pot of boiling water and then you're done in a couple of minutes. can top with pasta sauce or even ranch dressing. feeds a while family for the cost of a single fast food meal.

This is for people who might not have pasta sauce in their pantry, but most people will have ketchup in the fridge.

Ahh this is not a "go buy" something recipe.

This is a "If you are thinking of not eating because you feel like you have nothing to eat, eat this instead"

I don't like ketchup like that. Fries, sure. Burger? A little. This? This is fucking gross. I also knew someone that put it on their pizza. On the inverse, I can eat yellow mustard straight

You might not be the target audience. I'm not currently the target audience either.

My wife and I are really into cooking. We have a whole bookshelf of cookbooks, a metrowire rack full of "kitchen stuff" and we use it daily.

There was definitely a time when this book would have been perfect. This book seems to cover a lot of stuff that's obvious to me now but wasn't always.

If you're food plan is a bulk package of Ramen, any help on how to make it not the same as every other day is culinary gold.

The title is quite literal. It's not "some simple tasty recipes", it's depression-level-bare-minimum-effort-food ;)

But are we talking in underwear, or in pajamas? Totally different levels there

Well maybe you can sometimes stretch your wings into "Open can of black beans, drain it, and mix in ranch" territory sometimes!
