I'm deep in my personal self-improvement journey, part of it is eating more and eating healthier, and getting good cooking/kitchen habits so these things are easier to do for me. I skip meals or eat out a lot due to the hours I work, and at this point I feel a little lost trying to get back into better habits. So pretty much what the title states, if there's any sort of tips and tricks and recommendations, I'd love to hear them!

I would recommend anything by Jacques Pépin. Two favorites of mine are:
Tomato & eggplant gratin
Slice eggplant and place in an oiled baking dish, put in the eggplant and then quickly flip it over so both sides get oil. Bake at 400 for 15 minutes. Flip and bake 10 more minutes. Slice tomatoes and layer on top of eggplant, top with 1 cup breadcrumbs and 1 cup parmesan and some thyme and cook for 15 more minutes. Smells Delicious and sits in the fridge well for about 4 days. I like to take the leftovers and make a sandwich .
Small pot Roast in the slowcooker with fresh thyme and garlic. Leave it to cook while you're at work and throw in carrots and potatoes when you get home. It's so nice to come home to the smell of beef and garlic and you can make a few days meals or lunches out of it. put the beef in to cook *fat side up* and it will melt into the beef.
A little trick I have is to have a 6 pack of high protein meal replacement shakes in the pantry. I hope this is helpful for you!
