swap out quinoa with lentils, omit the added tbsp olive oil, and baby you got yourself a dope stew

since you live in a more remote area,maybe food is more convenient in the frozen section?
Either that or try bulk ordering from somewhere,fuck those prices man,unless they're like free range chicken breast ,which is used in some recipes and tends to be a lot smaller than that and a deeper yellow colour so I doubt it.
