If you're grieving, recovering from trauma, or taking care of someone who is ill, you may find yourself eating a ton of fast food or surviving on hospital vending machine snacks; not having the motivation to cook and then letting fresh groceries go bad; or losing your appetite and simply not eating at all.
In those instances, finding a few moderately nutritious, somewhat cheap, relatively easy to prepare things to eat can be a game-changer.

Pierogies are always great, TBH.
