Sometimes it is finals week, and I am busy and hungry. In trying times like these, lentils always make a good, easy, filling, and relatively quick meal.
Take 1/3 cup lentils/person, rinse them in cold water, and put them in a pot on medium heat, covered with water. While lentils start to cook, chop some carrots, then add them (along with a little more water) to the pot.

| Lentils and carrots: cooking! Garlic, onion, and yellow pepper: chopped! |
While lentils and carrots cook, chop onions, garlic, and fry until transparent. If you're jonsing for some protein, throw in an egg. If get impatient for said egg to cook sunny side up, impromptu scramble it with some chopped pepper, or mushrooms, or whatever you have on hand.
When lentils are soft (you might have to add more water while they cook, depending on how much you put in at the beginning), scoop the lentil/carrot mixture into a bowl, mix in fried onions and garlic, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with fried egg 'n stuff.
