And because of forced eating during childhood, this just brings back trauma masquerading as food dislikes.
3 square meals can be bad for your health.

With an Instant Pot, an induction burner, and a toaster oven you can make anything that would require a normal kitchen, just in smaller portions (as in, you aren't cooking a whole turkey or a giant casserole).
Yeah, my “dream” kitchen that I’ll never have would have those instead of a range. And maybe a big slow cooker that could do a turkey. Edit: oh yeah, add an air fryer and bread machine. And kettle obvs. Preheats water for a pasta pot faster than the stove. Immersion >> conduction heating. The amount spent on a range buys a lot of gadgets. Not even wiring one up saves a circuit and dedicated run. I couldn’t live witho…
My food for when I can't be bothered is pasta with canned pesto sauce (+optional parmesan). Can eat it every day. Another a bit more involved option is pasta with checkpeas: https://www.seriouseats.com/pasta-e-ceci-pasta-with-chickpea... What's yours go-to recipes?
Do a night with bottled tomato sauce. I like Classico in Canada (often “diluted” with a can of diced tomatoes). Sometimes I fry some onions first. Top with some red beans.
Another a nights with canned tuna and whatever chopped vegetables I have.
Maybe a night with just butter and cracked pepper and some vegetables as a side. Beans make a good protein.
Fast, cheap, easy. Nutritionally complete-ish.

How many people are you cooking for? I find that a dishwasher when only used for one or two people is more of a nuisance than washing dishes as they are used, mostly because you have to basically use all of your dishes before running it.
When I empty it, I’ll let anything that needs another run in for the next run.
Don’t need to run it every night.
I wish I could just take one pill a day (or three) for nutrition (and satiating hunger) and not have to eat meals at all. That would be amazing, not to have to deal with food. Buying, preparing, ordering, over eating.

There are quite a few companies that deals with this, usually in the form of a shake rather than a pill. I think Soylent was the name of one of the early entrants.
Most of those seem to be US based, but there's a European company https://jimmyjoy.com as well.
Bit too (cheap) carb rich for my liking. What is with eating so many carbs, is this book a recipe for prediabetes or a psychotherapy phishing session?

Basically powdered meal - I’ve been eating it for about 8 years now. I get the vanilla and add just a little bit of honey, using warm/hot water. It’s like smooth porridge.
Meal dealt with in ~2mins.
