Thank you for your encouragement and meal suggestions.@Captain Crunch
Welcome. There are several of us who live alone/cook for one. Yes, it can take some planning but remember the freezer - it's very useful, especially with microwave too
You say you cooked a tasty chicken dish recently (Feel free to divulge the recipe here ... ) Well, could you, perhaps, make enough for 3 or 4 portions and then freeze them? Chuck in the microwave after a busy day ... bingo, a quick, tasty and very nourishing meal. Vegs don't take long, especially if you have prepared in advance. Don't forget, butter is really tasty on vegs
Ham slices, from the deli, with sliced DairyLee and rolled up, with/without tomato, cucumber, mushrooms etc, is another quick meal which i often have.
Things like Chilli, bolognaise sauce etc freeze well, although you mentioned you didn't like some meats but could give you ideas. Cauliflower rice is just superb too ...
Good luck, you'll get through your dark tunnel before very long, if not, before ...
Plenty of people here to 'talk' with. We're all in similar boats, one way or another so you'll get a lot of support here
I'm not much of a cook. My previous life was takeaways and ready meals mainly. Wonder where my T2D came from? .
I did enough of my chicken casserole for four portions (as that's what the recipe was for). The remaining three portions are in the freezer. I got the recipe from diabetes.org.uk and it's here: https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/recipes/chicken_casserole. There are a couple of unfamiliar ingredients (to me) but they were found easily enough in Sainsbury's in the UK.
