Without a fridge/freezer for a while. What should I cook? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm one person and won't have a fridge for a few weeks as mine died. I can't stomach any more canned soup. Any ideas for small meals I can make with shelf stable ingredients?

Your biggest issue is going to be the protein source, most of them require refrigeration.

Try things with canned meats, like canned tuna with Mac and cheese.

You can get canned chicken to go with some sort of pasta and tomato sauce.

Canned beef with potatoes.

Just be careful of making too much so there's no leftovers

Unwashed eggs don't need refrigeration, and are superb protein. Assuming OP isn't in northern america, they should be easy to come by.

Dried legumes, such as lentils, beans, nuts and seeds are all excellent sources of protein and don't require refrigeration.
