Easy Bulking Food

[Ian Charles]

Hello. I just moved recently and I am living by myself now. I have no idea how to cook, and I am trying to gain at the moment. I am a hard gainer. I was wondering if anyone could give me some easy things to make at home that aren't too much trouble, aren't too expensive, and are good! Thank you for your help.
