My life has fallen apart because of Trump/Musk taking my job and the American economy becoming a dumpster fire.
I have turned to frozen margarita pizzas as a source of nutrition. To spruce up my pies I chop up spinach, mix in a can of diced green chilies, and season with whatever I have on hand. If I have an extra bag of mozzarella I throw some of that in there too. I let it sit for five or so minutes then spread that on top of the pizza. I add five to ten extra minutes to the baking time.
Got any cheap and fast cooking tips along those lines?

It isn’t super fast because dried beans need to soak but buying beans and rice in bulk is huge. I also recommend making roasted chickpeas, I use a premade indian spice mix for chana masala on mine and it is delicious. Just soak, boil, coat in olive oil, season, and roast at 350-375 for 30-35 minutes. Tons of calories for very cheap and high protein. Only major drawback is that you can’t roast chickpeas in bulk because their texture changes significantly after cooling.
I’m on that dried chickpea lifestyle. I soak them in salt water for at least 24 hours (most people say overnight is enough) then boil them for an hour. I find rinsing them after the boil and letting them soak again reduces gas later.
Oh my god is that why I have been so gassy?!?! Are chickpeas known for that? I was fucking wondering.
Yep. I recently discovered that myself. Apparently canned chickpeas won’t give you gas, but dehydrated will.
Most beans are, I thought. “Beans, beans, the musical fruit; the more you eat, the more you toot!” Was a rhyme I’ve heard since I was a kid xD
