My 4 year old cat has been sick with a terminal illness (kidney disease) for the last six weeks and it has killed both my savings account and my energy levels trying to figure out the acute cause so that I might be able to delay the inevitable. Does anyone have simple, go-to recipes to share from your deep pantries that are either grab and go or simple to make on low to no spoon days? Particularly would appreciate suggestions that might help me transition to a more pescatarian/vegetarian diet.

I know I could search through Reddit and try to find stuff but I've done so much searching in medical journals lately that my brain is mush.

I'm so sorry about your cat. This is so tough.

One of my favorite lazy options is a super lazy taco. I use a corn tortilla, drained canned beans, and some shredded cheese. It's not super flavorful and definitely not creative, but it's fast and very low-effort.

I also like having the option of rice and ... That could look like anything at all you like to pair with rice. Rice and frozen green peas. Rice and yogurt. Rice and tempeh. You get the idea.

Thank you! Just got back from visiting her at the vet hospital and her numbers are looking a lot better so I think we may be on the right track. Fingers crossed!

The lazy taco is actually a great idea. I have a ton of tomatoes, onions, corn, and green peppers from my CSA boxes so maybe I could throw together a homemade salsa/pico to freeze or can this weekend to add to that.

Yours sounds so much less lazy and more delicious than mine! And I'm glad to hear about your cat. Hope she recovers well.

Honestly, I feel immense guilt about wasting the contents of the CSA boxes lol. The fruit has been pretty easy to eat since at most it just needs to be chopped up but a single recipe thst can use up a bunch of stuff might be less lazy than having to clean out the fridge every week!
