You need an Instapot and convection toaster oven (basically a more capable air fryer), you're welcome. Throw stuff in a pot/on a metal sheet hit a button and you're done. I spent way too many years without making my own food. Also a new nonstick pan to easily make omelettes with any ingredients you have left over.

If you are super intimidated to start cooking in an Instapot, it's fine to get meal kits like this.

Literally dump it all in with a slow-cooker spices packet and 6 hours later you have days of food. Then start adding more of stuff you like such as extra onions or potatoes.

Robot or human?

And you don't need every ingredient or a recipe for lots of slow cooker things. Today I'm just putting left over stuff. Onion soup mix, brown gravy mix, pre-cut chuck roast beef pieces (which I optionally browned in a pan first), an onion, mushrooms, and a bunch of garlic cloves.

It's really hard to fuck it up. I've decided I used too many mushrooms but guess what I just won't eat all of them. It's a soup you have a fork.

When you make your own food at home you realize how little meat and other premium ingredients you get in prepared food. Like $10 of chuck roast at Walmart could be the same amount of meat as $150 of DoorDash.

I know this is basic but no harm in being approachable. Been doing this for years now I wasted so much money on restaurant food.

@SwiftOnSecurity I was lucky to grow up in a family with great cooks, and a spouse who also likes to cook and bake. Most any restaurant seems like a scam to me these days. Taking the time to cook something relatively amazing is so much more economical and tasty than eating a single meal out. Plus, most meals do pretty well the day after like soups and baked things such as casseroles.
