Any type of bean. You can make dips, chili, put them in rice, and they are really healthy.

My bed, normally, with a rare nap on the couch. Why would anyone sleep on food?

Charcuterie plates

Cold cuts, cheeses, fresh/dried fruit, vegetables/pickled vegetables, bread/crackers, etc.

Make whatever plate combination you're in the mood for from a variety selection, i like to stock about 3 options from each category to feel like I have choices

I've really been enjoying chia seeds recently. They are great in smoothies. Spinach too, it's essentially undetectable so you can just add a handful of either. Works great in any type of smoothie, and feels like "dessert" even when it's just fruits and veggies and seeds. Plus, you can freeze (or buy) frozen produce, or freeze what you can't eat, so it keeps for ages.

Unflavored yogurt tends to work best, imo.

Take vegetable. Saute with olive oil, a little salt, and some seasoning. Vegetables taste amazing and people just don't eat enough of them, and I think it's because they don't cook them right.

It’s good that you’re looking to expand your food repertoire

If you’re dealing with arfid though you should consider a desensitization protocol to help deal with sensory or phobic response driving the arfid. What this looks like varies because it depends on what drives your arfid: is it a fear of aversive reaction, is it sensory, disinterest, etc.

That said building on what you have can be helpful. Changing the burritos slightly - change the protein, add a new vegetable, add guacamole, etc. try a new flavor of protein bar, etc.

If you’re looking for something in the healthy/low prep side of things I tend to make one big meal on sundays for the week and portion it out. It takes about 30-60 minutes depending on what I make. Japanese curry, various pastas, salads, soups, etc. how healthy these are varies. I am vegan so they tend to be a little bit better than the typical recipe you’d see online but some are still not the most healthy (Japanese curry for example is fairly high in fat but portioned correctly with rice is still filling and a reasonable amount of calories)

For a healthy and affordable diet: beans, rice, bread, collards, kale, mackerel, salmon, sardines, raisins, oatmeal, almonds, and chicken.

Rice cooker saved my life. I add whatever I have lying around that doesn't require cooking like ham, pickles, canned veggies or fruits, fresh or dried fruits, etc, and if I'm feeling fancy I might boil eggs. Plus mushroom sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, or soy sauce. If you can find black rice in asian supermarkets it's even better.

Soups. Find Cooks Illustrated Best Soups cookbook. Learn to make and can your own broth. It doesn't change everything but it changes a lot.

lentils! chick peas! beans! legumes in general, they are great! you can integrate them into anything...

(ie. cook a bunch of lentils to eat warm with whatever veggies you can steam... but leftovers the next day are turned into a salad, etc. )

Rutabaga. It's a root vegetable that you cook similar to parsnips or turnips. A bit of a nutty, earthy flavor. Really good mashed with a splash of cream and a grating of fresh nutmeg.

Cotton sheets here. So, I guess the food I'm sleeping on is long sugar chains?

Spices! Smoked paprika, curry sauce and spices, turmeric, southwest seasoning, garlic everything!

Green beans!

hay.

Sumac. Put that shit on your winter baked potatos peeps, you're welcome

How do you feel about oatmeal? It's healthy and has much more potential for adding flavors to than most people ever consider. It's pretty neutral and makes a good canvas for other flavors.

For example, you can add cheese to make something like a healthier Mac and cheese. The starch makes it sort of creamy.

But you might want to upgrade from rolled oats to steel cut oats. You get much more "tooth" to your oatmeal and not just mush. Unless the mush is what you like. You can also use whole oats for even more "tooth".
