My life has fallen apart because of Trump/Musk taking my job and the American economy becoming a dumpster fire.
I have turned to frozen margarita pizzas as a source of nutrition. To spruce up my pies I chop up spinach, mix in a can of diced green chilies, and season with whatever I have on hand. If I have an extra bag of mozzarella I throw some of that in there too. I let it sit for five or so minutes then spread that on top of the pizza. I add five to ten extra minutes to the baking time.
Got any cheap and fast cooking tips along those lines?

Mirepoix: 2 parts onion, 1 part carrot, 1 part celery. Diced up and cooked gently with oil and a little butter until soft.
Not the fastest while you’re doing it, but preparing a big batch in advance, freezing and then starting your meals with it will give you a good flavour base to start pretty much whatever your making.
The ingredients are very cheap and they keep well. Make big batches, portion and freeze so you always have some on hand. If you’re making pasta or beans or anything saucy, add the cooked mirepoix first and you’ve got good flavour and saved yourself a lot of time on the night.
Sub green bell peppers for the carrot and you’ve got cajun holy trinity if you do a lot of that style of cooking like jambalayas (which are also very cheap).
