I do eat nice homemade food everyday but I have always wanted to try new cuisines. Even common food like cake and fancier cheese are too expensive for me, plus I feel like I don't deserve them. So please, if you have money, enjoy some on my behalf. Just a (probably silly but completely sincere) request :)

I understand. I enjoy food too. Had pastries every day during New Year and Christmas. I've cut that out now cause I put on some weight lol.I do try out a lot of stuff often. I had ramen a couple of days ago, shawarma yesterday. Butter chicken and Naan today.Chinese sometimes. There are a lot of decent restaurants on Uber Eats and stuff that you can just sort through and find that are reasonably priced . Fancy gourmet stuff like cheese can always be expensive because it's been fermented and stored for a long time. I avoid that stuff, but I understand the desire to Window shop and try stuff like that.
I do just one meal a day. Otherwise known famously as OMAD. So it isn't too expensive or difficult to manage.

I've been recklessly spending money on food lately because anything for a small hit of pleasure right?

If you want to save money but eat nice food then here's a recipe for what I call "a microwave cake" (baking ingredients tend to be quite cheap and you can make a lot with them so it works out to be cost effective):
Ingredients:
- self raising flour
- caster sugar (doesn't matter much what kind I think but it'll affect the texture)
- egg
- milk
- cocoa powder (optional)
- vanilia extract (best with it but optional if you can't afford it)
- margarine or butter
- baking powder...? (there's some in the flour but cake recipies always state to add more so here it is ig)
Equipment:
- a ceramic bowl that's not mixing bowl sized but like big enough to fit half a box worth of cereal in
- another little bowl that won't burn in the microwave for the butter/margarine
- some dessert spoons, or just big spoons from the dining table if your culture doesn't have dessert spoons
- a microwave
- baking paper (makes it much easier to remove and saves you from having to clean the bowl)
- sieve for the flour (if you care about everything being not lumpy)
- a fork, a long, thin pointy stick or a cake tester if you have one
Everything is in proportion to the egg. 1 egg makes 2 servings. These measurements are rough guesses as I tend to mostly eyeball it.
1. Put some baking paper in the bowl. Make sure it's covering all the inside surface and has some sticking out so you know it won't go over.
2. Put in 4 spoons worth of flour in (use the sieve if you want a better consistency) or 3 spoons and 1 spoon of cocoa powder for chocolate cake.
3. Put either 3 or 4 spoons of sugar in I'm not sure exactly how much (if you're using baking powder then put some in here now)
4. chuck about 3 spoon blobs of butter/margarine into the little bowl and put it in the microwave for about a minute or until melted. DON'T TOUCH IT it burns.
5. Put the butter/margarine in as well as the egg and the vanilia extract.
6. You should have a bowl that looks like a pile of various ingredients. Try your best to mix it up (hold onto the baking paper that's outside the bowl's container to stop it from spinning). If it's too wet add more flour. If it's too dry add a little bit of milk (I always find it a bit dry so that's why I added it in the ingredients list). The consistency is hard to explain as I'm not a professional baker but you can look up videos online on what cake batter looks like mixed if you want to double check.
7. Place the bowl in the microwave and leave it in for about 2 1/2-5 minutes depending on how powerful your microwave is. The important thing is to use your stabbing stick to see if the cake mixture is fully cooked in the middle. If when you stab straight down and move it back up there's still mixture on, it needs more cooking. If all that comes out is bits of stuck cake crumbs then you did it!
8. Lift the baking paper out of the bowl and onto a plate or any kind of flat surface, and remove it from the sides. Microwave cake!
9. If you want to make some quick icing then get out icing sugar and a bit of water and chuck some icing sugar into a cup and put a little bit of water in and mix it with a fork (make sure it's very thick otherwise you've put too much water in).
I like to make this when I crave sugar but I don't want to go out and spend money on overpriced chocolate. Takes about 10 minutes I think. I don't know if the ingredients listed are universal but I can confirm they are in Britain so there's that. The eggs might be a problem though, if you're American...
