What do you eat in the evening if you already had a decently big sized lunch? I'm lacking ideas.

I usually eat either eggs, a yogurt, oats or a sandwich.

Soup

Something easy I can throw in a single pan, depends on what I have on hand. I generally de-emphasize meat though if it's just a small dinner. Sometimes it's as simple as throwing some aromatics and drained/rinsed beans into some olive oil and sauteeing them, finishing off with some greens and fresh herbs. Could be a quick potatoes o'brien, some pasta and sauce or aglio e olio, or I'll just do a big pot of veggie soup since that'll keep for 2-3 days without freezing.

Can you elaborate? You literally just eat beans (kidney or black?) with nothing else? What greens?

This potatoes o'brien thing sounds great and easy. I could imagine a fried egg with that.

Dice half an onion and mince a couple of cloves of garlic. Add some olive oil to a pan over medium heat, sautee onions until fragrant and translucent. Add garlic and drained and rinsed beans, stirring thoroughly until garlic is fragrant. Add some chicken stock, some sambal oolek or other chili paste, and cook until beans are heated through and tender. Add a handful of greens, whatever you have on hand, and cook until wilted. Turn off the heat and sprinkle over some fresh herbs (if you only have dried, add it with the stock).

Be a little rough with the beans as you cook them. As you break some of them up, the starch will thicken the stock to almost a gravy and it comes out almost like a spicy bean stew. It's warm, quick, fairly low cal, and very healthy.

Usually a salad or a small antipasto-ish plate of crackers, cheese, hummus, pickles/veggies etc, just what I have on hand.

Sounds delicious. I guess you can also just eat it with rice like that. Guess I gotta buy some sambal.

You should, sambal is ridiculously versatile. Like $3 for a jar and it goes well in eggs, stir fries, fried rice, chop suey, breakfast potatoes, burritos... just about anything you want to add a kick to. It isn't overly spicy, it doesn't conflict with many other flavors, and it isn't overly vinegary like many other hot sauces.
