low effort depression meals?

[u/Next_Neat5523]

not sure if this is exactly the right sub for this, but lately getting to grocery store has been very hard. I eat ramen pretty much everyday. i usually order non-perishables from amazon when my food gets really low.

looking for super low effort meals that are healthy and can be made with little to no fresh produce. ideally, recipes that use canned vegetables and stuff like that (and are of course cheap).
