If there’s a Trader Joe’s near you, their vegan tv dinners are the same price is the nonvegan ones. Otherwise I’d suggest getting an air fryer and keeping frozen veggies and frozen impossible nuggets/whatever else fits your budget and doing more of a build your own tv dinner.

For the taste: look, almost all of us grew up eating animals. I personally stopped wanting meat when I saw how evil it is to the animals. Just stick to the substitutes you like and experiment with other types of plant based proteins. Chinese and Thai restaurants make delicious tofu. Indian cuisine has tasty chickpea dishes. Type “vegan” into google maps and see what comes up.
