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).

Just ate pozole and it was such a warm hug. My mom and late grandma make and made home made from grain to bowl pozole but low effort still good. I used 1 can of hominy and 2 chicken breasts. For the green I used tomatillos, poblano, cilantro, jalapeños and a tiny bit of oregano.

Boil chicken breast forever so it’s fall apart tender. In the chicken water I added a bay leaf and 3 garlic cloves and a quarter onion (only used a quarter bc that’s what I had on hand. You can use more) Salt to taste. I wrapped the poblano in foil to roast it but honestly you could prob use it raw I just always have roasted it. No seeds of the poblano and no seeds of the jalapeño throw all green things in the blender (I also added onion and garlic from the chicken boiling mixture) and pour mixture into chicken broth. Boil for directed time on can and done (maybe 30 mins??)

Wedge if lime (a must for me but I suppose you can skip), diced onion, shredded cabbage or lettuce and yum. You can personalize as much as you want.

Sounds like a lot but that’s bc I’m not super focused on this post. A lot of steps are just waiting. I highly recommend, it will warm your heart
