We want to break out of this cycle of ordering delivery but at the same time, cooking everyday has been a challenge. We also have been trying to develop some sort of routine where we meal prep on the weekends but we live in an apartment with a really small kitchen so cooking and storing food for 5 days doesn’t seem doable. Maybe cook for 3 days and then prepare the ingredients to cook again on Wednesday?

I’d appreciate if you could share your strategies and experience. The goal here is to eat healthy and good food.

Edit: Thank you everyone for all your contributions! I am a little overwhelmed by the number of replies so I if I do not reply to you please do now feel bad!!

    I’m terrible. If I’m cooking for myself? I won’t make anything that takes longer to prepare or clean up than it takes to eat. LOL.

    Breakfast, generally, is a small can of whole kernel corn mixed in with a can of chowder.

    Lunch is a couple of sandwiches.

    Dinner maybe a couple of burgers. Sometimes a big salad.

    Now, cooking for OTHER people… that’s a different deal. :) But, yeah, it takes planning, sometimes a week in advance.
