With the right building blocks, you can get away with making the same dish in different variations. In your case, making a version of an open-face sandwich with diverse toppings can be a good low effort option.
STEP 1: Select carb vehicle (sourdough/rye toast, crackers, pita bread, tortilla(s), lavash etc.)
STEP 2: Add spreads (hummus, grainy mustard, mayo, cream cheese, labneh/plain greek yogurt, bbq sauceā whatever floats your boat)
STEP 3: Layer roasted veggies (two options) š
Option 1ā Buy pre-chopped veggies of your liking (zucchini, peppers and onions are amazing when roasted), toss with some olive oil, season with salt and pepper/other seasonings and roast in your oven for 30-40 mins at 375ĀŗF or until slightly charred and soft.
Option 2ā Most asian grocery stores have food bars with cooked veggies. Buy a combo that is loaded with veg and use those vegetables for meal prepping.
STEP 4: Add protein (roast beef, smoked salmon, grilled chicken, spam, canned tuna or whatever other low-effort, pre-cooked protein you prefer)
STEP 5 (optional): Add any extra toppings/garnishes (pickled onions, beets, furikake, sesame seeds, toasted nuts... I'm sure there's more I could list, but my brain is drawing a blank atm)
Enjoy! Hope this gives you some inspo :)

roasted veggies with hummus/tzatziki/pesto over rice or pasta, in a wrap or sandwich, in a soup, etc. theyāre versatile and you can spice or flavour them however you like. just throw some potatoes, carrots, brussels sprouts, onion, peppers, turnips, beets, anything on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and throw some salt and pepper on them

some ppl call these struggle meals but they are anti struggle! Things that u can easily acquire, are 5 ingredients or less, take 5 min to prep, travel well, and donāt need to be heated up.
Todayās lunch is a criminally easy Caesar salad - a bag of chopped romaine, 1/2 can of chicken breast (do not sleep on this stuff. Costco or wegmans r the best), a couple shakeys of shakey cheese, and some caeser dressing. I have no croutons or would add too!!!
I also make the laziest tuna salad - 1 can tuna, dijon mustard, mayo, acv, s&p. No measuring, just vibing. Eat in bread or more lettuce or more crackers or alone.
Thatās all. Protein, carbs, n fats baby. make the world go āround.

I adore finding a random video from like 2005 and reading through the comments the way a historian would examine an old manuscript from the 1700s. Are these people still active YouTube users? Or are they forgotten accounts? What did @jjlwis mean by "awww im gonna miss rob too!!!" ? Who even is Rob?? Anthropology in the digital age... so many questions... it's fascinating.
The important thing for me is not to add new comments. I feel like I'm disturbing an old archeological dig site and my sticky modern commentary will make the video crumble away into oblivion. More importantly, I don't want the algorithm to suggest the video to a bunch of people who will spam the comments sectionā major yuck š¤¢

early 80s to early 2000s truck models are the perfect sizes imo. current trucks are transformer-sized behemoths that could easily crush normal vehicles into smithereens upon impact and i legit donāt know how those things are even street-legal. also, idk if itās their design, reliability or the nostalgia factor per-se, but thereās a certain sazĆ³n those older trucks have that newer ones donāt.

with social media being this pervasive entity that has weeded its way into our daily routines for the past 20ish years (plus a global pandemic that really solidified those habits), many young adults today have spent a large amount of their lives living online. it has become the new norm and iām not gonna pretend iām above any of this because itās so easy to fall into it (i am literally writing this rec on my phone whilst itās a perfectly sunny day that i should probably go out to enjoy).
with that being said, in the larger scheme of life, being in your 20s is still in a weird way the beginning stages of your life. itās a period to try new things, make mistakes, learn from them and develop an identity thatās independent from the environment and people who raised you. though you can learn to do some of those things online, they donāt hold a candle to actually experiencing those things for yourself in real life.
all in all, the best way to not sleep thru your 20s is to prioritize in-person experiences that allow you to get a better understanding of yourself and your values. whether that be getting your first tattoo, moving to a new city or country, exploring your personal style or taking up hobbies you couldnāt or wouldāve never done as a kid, this is an important formative time to venture out and get a sense of who you truly are.
