If you have a slow cooker or dutch oven, making a basic stew is a simple as cutting veggies and throwing that with some broth and beef cubes for a few hours. Spice it with a lot of thyme and garlic. For a better broth, consider red wine (the cheapest is fine) and thicken it with corn starch.
I always do stews for myself and I live alone. You can store the extra portions in mason jars, keeps very well, though if you’re doing that I recommend whole small potatoes since cut ones will dissolve over time.
I literally eat whole heads of raw cabbage on the daily as part of my "lose a ton of weight without having to cook by noshing on tons of veggies and exercising" project 😄
Nah, I love cabbage and because it's so full of fiber and water as well as low in calories, it keeps me full for a long time and does wonders for my digestion while keeping my caloric intake low lol
If there's one thing I've learned from countless attempts over 25 or so years it's that when it comes to losing weight and getting in shape, the most important thing is to make it as easy and fun for yourself as possible.
I'm not gonna run every day, cook every day, or starve myself. That's just not going to work long term.
Going on my exercise bike every day and ingesting a ton of cabbage, other fruit and veg, as well as moderate amounts of dairy and lean meat that doesn't need to be prepared for protein? THAT'S something I can and will do!
So far, I've dropped a little over 50 kg, my blood pressure isn't too high anymore, and my resting heart rate is as good or better than when I was 18 even though I still weigh 20-30 kg more than I did back then!
I remember those grocery store bakery breads too well. Their gooey consistency, the way they quickly dried into an inedible log, their white flesh being too moist to turn into panko without wadding. The colby’s fine, though.

One block of cheese is not enough, you need to eat the whole wheel.

Every few months I get the insatiable urge to make "peasant dinner" which is just a big loaf of bread (usually sourdough), butter, and some kind stew.
Highly reccomend

Damn, it's been far too long since I have had stew, I don't cook, and I have no idea where to get any around here ☹️

I don’t see any sweet roll. Did someone steal your sweet roll?

Add in some Skooma, and you got yourself a deal.

Yeah, you're supposed to eat them in the dead of night, paring pieces off like an apple and eating them off the knife.

Oh god, I imagine it goes...
(Eats a head of cabbage)
Oh god, I never want to eat again.
(Skips every meal to avoid cabbage.)

Add a bit of mayonnaise and you got yourself the ingredients for some grilled cheese sandwiches.

I would boil them together first though.
