2. Simple meat-containing recipes that I can integrate into my typical cooking pattern.
Stir-fries? I was nervous about cooking with meat when I started learning to cook, and it really helped to begin with meals where the meat is cut into sufficiently small pieces that you don't have to worry about whether it's cooked all the way through when it looks cooked on the outside.
Stir-fries are also fast, visually clear, and it's easy to make a stir-fry with meat or fish, a couple of vegetables, and some simple flavour elements like garlic, soy sauce, and/or sesame. Once you've got the basic principle and have a sense of what flavours go together, they're fairly easy to improvise.
If you want more carbohydrate in the meal, you can cook some noodles and tip the stir-fry on top of them. And of course if you want a vegan version, you can just use tofu instead of the meat.
I can provide more details if this might be a useful possibility for you?
