I used to love to cook, and as time passes more and more I have become SUPER adverse to it and I have no idea why. Even the idea of say, making oatmeal on the stove or a pack of instant Ramen is too much for me. I do plan on trying to make myself do it and try to form a habit of it but for now I’ve only been buying pre made/take out food and it’s super expensive. How do yall hack this so that you buy groceries you’ll actually eat??

Some info:

I don’t have a microwave

I’m not super food restrictive

I’m a brat and only like fresh veggies (not precut or frozen), usually organic

I try to avoid preservatives but I do like chicken nuggies/tots/frozen pizzas, but I really want to try and stick to a healthier veg filled diet

An example of something that isn’t overwhelming for me to make are protein shakes: put powder, kefir, water, PB&J in a jar, shake it, drink it.

Any advice is super appreciated 🙏

    I made this for dinner:

    Chicken breasts from a precooked rotisserie, basil Napolitano pre made sauce, ricotta, blanched long stem broccoli, grated carrots

    All heated together on the pan for 15mins and served with rotini pasta. Total cooking time 15 mins.

      Oh man that sounds amazing. I always forget that you can buy pre cooked rotisserie chickens, that right there sounds like a huge game changer for motivation to prep a hearty meal
