I cannot stress to you enough how much I dislike cooking for just myself. It feels like a thankless task, and one which I just need to tick off and get done.
When my husband is at home, he usually does all the cooking because he enjoys it. I cook for us when he’s home too, because cooking for two is much more enjoyable to me than cooking for just myself.
My days are extremely long and by the time it gets to dinner, I have nothing left in the tank so I need something quick, easy, with minimal fuss BUT I also need something that will help me feel as good as possible.
Protein is a non-negotiable, and I try to pack in as much veg as I can. I eat a lot of fats, because I like the way a high fat diet makes me feel.
All the meals here took A MAXIMUM of ten minutes - even that is pushing it sometimes 🤣 If I actually cook something, I always make at least one other portion to have the next day.
I don’t care about repeating meals. I know some people find it boring, but I do not. I like eating things that make me feel good, which often means repetition.
I’ve also recently started getting meal prep dinners (not pictured above) delivered and have those a couple of times a week on the days where I am coaching or farming until late in the day. They have been really helpful and whilst expensive, they’re worth every penny to me.
Three sweet potatoes cooked in the air fryer, topped with a prawn salad (prawns, random fridge gravel, feta)
Chicken and rice, with a tin of mixed bean salad sautéed with random fridge gravel veg. Topped with feta.
A homemade “pizza” - a roll of shop bought pastry topped with pesto and whatever sliced meats and random cheeses were in the fridge at the time

Another homemade “pizza” as before but I ran out of pesto so one half was with tomato puree 🤣
