[Help] Ideas for recipes when you're in a brand-new place without much kitchen equipment? recipes

I've found myself in an interesting situation. Last week my husband and I moved to Finland for 4 months for his job. The (furnished) apartment we're renting has only a modestly equipped kitchen, so a lot of my go-to staples aren't doable anymore (I'd like to avoid buying a whole spice rack or spending a fortune on cookware, because one of the other side effects of this trip is that it puts me temporarily out of a job). To complicate the problem, I've been spending three times as long at the grocery store because I don't actually know any Finnish, so I'm not always sure exactly what I'm buying.

The kitchen has: * induction stove * oven * microwave * refrigerator/freezer * 2 small saucepans * 1 medium skillet * 1 large metal mixing bowl * 1 glass baking dish * 2 cookie sheets * 1 chef's knife and cutting board * various spoons/spatulas * cups/plates/soup bows/utensils

Only dietary restriction is no shellfish. Other than that, I'm open to any ideas you may have... I can only eat so many lunchmeat sandwiches in a row.

I'm also open to purchasing cookware that will unlock a lot of new recipes if it's not too expensive (I just realized we have no can opener).

Thanks!
