<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

I have a wonderful friend who is coming to my house for one week.  We are both fluffy and working on our weight so we have all sorts of hiking, camping and outside adventures planned. I want to introduce him to cooking more than his generic bachelor fare and that healthy foods are delicious.  

We are in Canada he is in the northern part of BC has no car and relies on friends or transit to go shopping once every two weeks.  I live in the southern part of the Province (metro Vancouver) and am within walking distance from a little Asian grocer, multiple grocery stores, an Iranian bakery, French bakery and Canadian bakery.  We are employed and though we are on tight budgets we have money for groceries.  I grow my own herbs and some veggies but he doesn't have the time or interest in it.  

Basically, what delicious recipes do you have that is quick and or easy to make that I can teach him to make.  I make my own bread weekly and find it cheap, delicious and easy but I doubt he would have the effort or care to do that.  We want to stay away from white pasta, rice and simple carbs.  

I am thinking of making him a cookbook with food he enjoys or has interest in making and some ideas I have come up with are:

* coleslaw (broccoli and cabbage)
* potato and yam salad without mayo 
* grilled veggies 
* baked stuffed tomatoes or peppers
* cobb salad 
* stir fry (what sauces do you recommend making or just a shot of saracha and soy?)
* carrot soup
* vegetarian chili 
* vegetarian stew
* homemade granola bars
<bot>: I have a bachelor frog visiting me that wants to learn to cook easy, healthy meals.  The man eats bagged salad and meatloaf as a go to meal.  Tips?
