I live in Puerto Rico and have been without power for over 2 months and seems like it's going to take another few months (hopefully just a few weeks more) to get electrical power restored.
I don't eat much and not that much picky when it comes to food. I mainly don't like spicy foods. Don't like cooking, but if I have to do so that I need to survive to eat, then so be it. I usually wake up at 4:00 am and make a quick breakfast. Usually back home by 6:00 pm and hate having to cook in my gas stove with flashlights to illuminate.
For breakfast, I make some type of cereal like oatmeal, cream of wheat or cornmeal. Might add a protein shake with almond milk. Other times I just eat a bowl of cereal with almond milk. If I'm really in a hurry I eat a slice of bread or half a bagel and spread a bit of peanut butter.
I normally don't eat lunch. Since I can finally find bananas, I might take to work to snack or an apple, but usually just don't eat much at work.
The last few weeks I've purchased "lunch" at work and since I don't eat much and they serve quite a lot, I save half in the mini fridge at work. Usually it's rice and beans, some kind of meat, and a bit of salad. It's pretty cheap at about $6 with a bottle of water. I take it home and usually add some canned vegetables like corn kernels, mixed vegetables or green beans. I may do this 2 or 3 times a week. The other days, I may cook like 1/3 cup of rice and a whole can of baked beans. Another dish I make is boiling a potatoe, malanga, or yautia (not sure on the English name, but I think it's called tuber or something). These last a long time without refrigeration. Might add some kind of canned meat like tuna, chicken, or potted meat.
Well, I wanted some recommendations on how I can eat cheaply and healthy given that I have no refrigerator.
