Food Question, Disability, Covid
I know something similar was asked recently but can't find it
Can anyone recommend v.low preparation meal options that are doable in er, the current situation
I rely on online deliveries & readymeals/frozen pmuch exclusively b/c disability, but that's all becoming increasingly difficult to get access to, so I want to know any options I don't know already (cereal, toast, porridge, noodle pots)

@pastelbat I’ve been recommending Cooking is Terrible for ideas and encouragement along those lines?

@pastelbat fresh mascarpone pasta just needs to be put in boiling water and turned down then left 5mins.
Fresh udon noodles pan cook in minuets. they just need something added with em like a veg stir fry mix. You can eat em alone they're just a bit bland.
They can be cooked in a pot with stock to make a noodle soup, and again take minuets to cook.

@pastelbat overnight oats.
You can use milk, or any type of yogurt or soured milk (not milk that's gone sour though.. English why!).
Mix it with a few table spoons of oats, müsli or granola. Chia seeds are good too. (combo)
One batch can be left in the fridge for 5-7 days, so you can save yourself a lot of breakfast prepp by doing this.
Serve with raisins or fresh nuts (you can leave them in too, but they get soggy, so according to taste), fruit.

@pastelbat my go-to is a microwaved baked potato. it takes some tries to figure out the right method for cooking (I suggest sensory cook for medium to large ones, and microwaving 1-2 minutes each side for small ones. be sure to stab the potato so it can vent!), but v simple and easy to dress up with cheese, chopped veggies (broccoli, olives, whatever), meat (bacon bits, ripped up slices of turkey or chicken), and any seasoning. potatoes are v forgiving and fairly dense.

Not um, subtooting but from responses realising I was a bit vague re "low prep"
Anything microwaveable, anything you can leave and set an alarm for (not lots of separate steps you have to do this with, tho), anything that doesn't need like, standing over a stove or pan of cooking food and stirring it
"toast, porridge, noodle pots" is a good estimate of the level of.. Energy, stamina, maintained focus, steps, that I'm talking about when I say low-prep
