smashed potatoes w your fave breakfast meat (sausage, bacon, etc), use small potatoes so you can avoid cutting and they cook faster. you can add cheese and veg too. avocado toast is a good one too, and some people add cottage cheese for extra protein. i'm not a cottage cheese fan but there's a lot you can do with it breakfastwise
museums are good for the winter cold, they aren't super cheap but the art institute and the field museum are so magical and worth it :) the museum of contemporary art is cheap to enter and i believe the national museum of mexican art is free! if you're into poetry, poetry foundation has a free library and occasionally holds readings or workshops
fun sweet emotional poetry book about an angel who comes down to earth and has a relationship with a man from the suburbs. the whole book is basically back and forth conversation, it's a super quick read, and it's so so good
