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.

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.

Baby yellow potatoes and onions when slow-cooked are amazing sponges of flavor and super cheap to bulk up a soup as much as you want. You don't even need to chop them up except remove the outer layer of the whole onion. It will fall apart as it's cooking.

Also foods quickly cooked+crisped in a convection oven (air fryer) taste and texture better than the same thing in the microwave. It's really not actually that much longer with the active heat circulation fan.

Airyfry your pizza rolls and you'll never go back to the microwave ever again young hackers.

@SwiftOnSecurity @That_AC My children thank you for this one. I always insisted on oven baking (the lesson I learned as a youngling), but air frying is a new level for pizza puffs
