What's your cooking skills like? I've been on my out of my parent's place for about 5 years now. Really, the basic skills and prep doesn't change that much.

When I first moved out, I did some simple 1 pot recipes and some really idiot proof things.

tuna salad (mayo, tuna, celery, onions, salt, pepper). You can either eat as a snack with crackers. Or throw it on bread and toast with cheese for tuna melt.

I would also take chicken thighs (not drumsticks), salt, pepper and random sauces and bake for about 25 minutes. In that time, blanch veggies, eat with rice.


Something a bit more complicated is short rib stew.
Brown off the meat, set aside.
Throw in some chopped up celery, carrots and onions, soften just a bit.
throw in garlic, bay leaf and tomatoes (canned are fine). Bring to a boil, throw meat back in.
Leave it simmering for 2-3 hours.
You can freeze this in single meal size portions, defrost 1 when you feel lazy in the coming weeks.


Let me know if you get stuck on ideas or you think your food tastes bad. Some things are pretty easy to learn once you ask.
