Some background: I'm in college and living off campus with some omni roomies. I don't eat much because it's a hassle for me to prepare food. Specifically, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. I am an extremely picky eater because I don't like the sauces and dressings that others seem to enjoy: I believe food tastes better without spices, herbs, salt, etc. I do add salt to my food occasionally, but only for the iodine. Otherwise, my food is better without it.
My daily menu goes like this:
Breakfast: Oatmeal (cooked from one cup of dry rolled oats)
Lunch: I eat lunch only on occasion, and it's only when I have leftovers from dinner. I generally have a light snack instead, which consists of breakfast cereal right out of the bag, the occasional fruit, and usually some nuts.
Dinner: Usually, it's just rice (3/4 cup dry, cooked) or pasta (enough) with fruit. I add vegetables sometimes if I feel like it and have some on hand. Washing the vegetables and cleaning up afterward just seems like too much of a hassle most of the time.
The situation: The kitchen's sort of dirty and I'm a little too lazy to clean up when I prepare food. I have a rice cooker and a slow cooker; I generally use the rice cooker to make dinner. I prefer slow cooked food because the veggies seem to develop a stronger aroma, though they always end up overcooked, but I can't find a way to work it into my schedule.
I want to eat healthily and include vegetables, whole grains, and legumes into my diet. Suggestions? Help? Thanks!
