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 batch cook grains to keep in the freezer. I pick one at the beginning of the week to defrost and use it as a base or side to all my lunches for the week. Scrambles/frittatas, bowls, soups, salads, fritters/cakes etc. Dinners I change up. We do have some favs that show up on nights that we’re feeling lazy but cooking is one of my main hobbies so i’m always trying new dishes. Im a cookbook whore so im routinely on my couch flipping through my books to find my next endeavor. Im very fortunate to work from home 4 days a week, which makes all of this possible. Even if I choose to make an ordeal of a recipe I can slowly work my way through it during the day.
