You can get a lot done with a good stir fry pan, knife, and cutting board. I'd invest in quality versions of those 3 before anything else. I just got an InstantPot - so far it lives up to the hype. I've made chili, Thai curry 2x, rice, and hardboiled eggs so far, and they've all turned out fantastically, and all in under 30 minutes. Find your favorite flavor combinations and work them into your meals. I love the combination of lime and salt, so I'll use that in rice, salads, stir fries, etc. Sriracha/Cholula/insert your favorite hot sauce can save an otherwise bland dish. On lazy weeks, I buy one of those big boxes of fresh mixed greens, a rotisserie chicken, and some guacamole. Then I make a big salad for each day of the week with just those ingredients. It's cheap, tastes good, and is on point nutritionally. I just switched from cooking with olive oil to avocado oil. It has a higher smoke point and maintains its fat profile in high temps, and I haven't noticed a difference in taste/quality. |
