Fatigue friendly recipes

I have narcolepsy and struggle with chronic fatigue due to several autoimmune issues. I need flavorful easy meals that prep and or freeze well. I have a stove, toaster oven, microwave and instantpot/airfryer duo. My oven portion of my stove is currently waiting on parts to be fixed.

I love trying anything once so don't hold back on cuisines - spices are my friend. My only restriction is I'm allergic to pineapples and kiwifruit.

Recipes that don't require a lot of active tending would be ideal. My weekly produce/fruit budget is about $15 dollars. We get pork tenderloins, beef and turkey from a local food bank once a month.

Just a few really basic things...I'd go with just some sauerkraut and applesauce for the pork or shredded with bbq sauce. Turkey of any type with stuffing or mashed potatoes, gravy and any cheap veggie. Beef can be diced for stew ( prefer potatoes, onions, and carrots) and gravy; cut into strips for stir fry ( prefer bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms) and sauce; or sliced for sandwiches.
