Buy rice and chicken in bulk
Basmati rice or whatever rice you choose will last a while
Also no soda and almost no juice except for Orange and Apple
Also fruits and veggies
Plan ahead
Luckily my mother taught me how to cook and how to get groceries
Good luck
Preparing meals for 3 days at a time, can be easier for you if your a busy man.
Brown rice, canned beans, chicken breast, frozen vegetables, onions ,eggs, spinach etc. are all foods that are easy, cheap and healthy.
I rarely cook Somali foods. I tend to cook Ethiopian, Thai, West African and Indian. I pick up the recipes on line and adapt them like reducing the chilli or using xawash instead of stinky curry powder.
First of all get some basic seasoning salt,pepper,paprika powder and some chili cayennepeppar Will do
Than get some bariis preferably the basmati kind since that Rice is very sticky, soft and goes well with many foods this is the Rice mostly used in Somali food or you can go with Jasmine Rice its up to you
Get some baasto and on the packaging it Will tell you how long yiu should Cook it for 3-5 min one tip is to take it off 1 minute ahead and drain the pasta water this Will make sure its cooked al dente
Other than that get the meats chicken and fish buy it in bulk one important thing is to keep an eye on how long youre cooking the meat meat in general should be above 79• degrees and if the chicken isnt pinkish its good to go you could tell if its Done by touching it But this takes time to get a grip on also when you take the chicken out the oven make sure to let it rest on youre cutting board the meat is still cooking there are millions of stuff on youtube You can find that Will guide you just keep in mind cooking you can alter the ingredients to your liking
