How often do you cook? Have the same few things in rotation? Cook for anyone else too? Prep multiple days at a time or cook every day? I personally work a weird schedule so I prep food 5 days at a time. Also only eat one big meal a day. That could be anything in my dozenish meals rotation. I prep for my girlfriend too but shes simple. For her I cut up some vegetables (bell peppers, cauliflower, celery and carrots usually) then cook up a couple pounds of seasoned meat (chicken breast or 90/10 ground beef). What about you?

      i grew up eating frozen and canned food for like every meal.

      i refuse to ever do that again.

      fresh food is amazing. i never had it on a regular basis until i was a college student. it blew my mind that vegetables could taste good if they weren’t a soggy mess.

        I freeze home cooked Bolognese, stroganoff, chill con carne, curry, casseroles etc. they all reheat such that you would never know it was frozen.

        Some other dishes with rice or pasta in them when frozen lose some of their texture, but taste great still. Some stuff (chicken cassoulet from this weekend for example) is just annoying to defrost but is fine once done.

          cool. sounds gross and unhealthy af.

          i’m not interested in dying of a heart disease like my father. your food sounds like just the horrible shit my mother cooked. because it keeps well if it’s canned or frozen.

          i eat whole grains, lean meats, and vegetables.
