I am absolutely garbage at cooking nor do I have the desire to get better at cooking intricate dishes. But I still prefer making food at home as much as possible. So I was wondering what your favourite easy dishes are.

I don’t value taste too highly. But I prefer that have relatively moderate to low carb content. But don’t wanna be picky so anything goes. Please feel free to share.
