You can make pasta in the rice cooker if you overfill the pot, keep the top open, and add the pasta when the water boils. If you're down with sauce you can use that, but I enjoy my own psychopath pasta: olive oil and chili flakes, with a bit of fresh basil if you can get it.
Oatmeal is good as shit, very tasty, and pairs well with lots of stuff. With a bit of cinnamon? Oof. We love to see it. A bowl of oatmeal in the morning with some spoons of peanut butter will stick to your ribs till lunch for sure.
Obligatory mention of beans and rice. I love to chop up some bell peppers to throw on the rice to add some crunch and color.
Go with caution on this, and it's not vegan friendly unless you're willing to shell out for the fancy kind, but I've found that protein powder for protein shakes is a nice way to supplement a meal. See if you can get it on sale.
I get the bulk vegan chocolate protein shake powder and make what I call Oh-Nos (overnight-oats) by adding oatmeal and the powder to vanilla soy yogurt and soy milk with some raisins and letting it sit in a jar overnight. Makes the raisins awesome. It really thickens up if you don't add enough soy milk or water though.
I've tried mixing non-vegan protein powder with oatmeal, and I pretty much shat my guts out for an entire day. Might have gotten the proportions wrong.

That sounds really good for a quick breakfast with ton nutrition. I'll definitely try it.
