What are the foods that everyone here eats day to day?

I’m looking for more to add to my arsenal.

In my head there’s a big difference between staple foods and the kind of food that you make when guests come over.

I suppose it’s an increased emphasis on being easy/practical to make, or make in bulk as well as as nutrition. I guess it’s the staples that largely decide how the kitchen is stocked too.

    Most days I eat pretty much the same thing for breakfast and lunch and only really vary my dinner

    Breakfast its oats with a banana microwaved then I add frozen berries to it

    Lunch I eat beans and rice.

    I’ve described it in other posts but I like to take 1 cup of beans and 3 cups of water and blast it for 1 hour in the pressure cooker. Then I open it and put it into saute mode and add mix-ins and let it simmer for 20 minutes. I use a rice cooker for rice.

    Some of my favorite mixes are can of chopped tomatoes, home made taco seasoning

    Tomato paste, curry powder, ginger garlic paste and frozen vegetables

    I do not feel well or satiated if I don’t eat at least some rice and beans every day!

      That sounds great, it’s making me think I should get some kind of pressure cooker. What kind of rice do you eat?

        If I am making Persian or Indian food then I use basmati, if I am making Mexican or Chinese style food I use Jasmine. I grew up eating only Persian food so I tend to fall back on that most of the time
