[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2196146, member: 345386"] Huge well done, [USER=232698]@jpscloud[/USER] . Hold those thoughts. Whatever works for you is fine. Spending a lot of time prepping and cooking food is a bind. I have to declare here that I am this household's sous chef, so I end up doing the prep and clearing away, whilst my OH does his magic in the middle. To be fair, I also make a pretty good fist at devouring the food too, but I digress. We have a couple of great time saving gadgets. We have an Instant Pot, which is an electric multicooker (other brands are very available too), which allows for a lot of dump and run cooking. We also have an airfrier that does the most fabulous chicken (pork, beef, crispy veg) you can imagine - fast. With the Instant Pot, when I'm in the cooking hot seat, I'll load it with the food when I think of it, and set it going - maybe hours before we're eating, but it has a keep warm function (at a food safe temperature), meaning we can eat very quickly, when we either feel like like it, or when hunger overcomes us. You can even cook from frozen - chicken, casseroles etc. Not joints though. So, it can be a real life saver if one forgets to take something out of the freezer. It can reheat from frozen. We've had some great (and, I might add, less great) brown brick surprise dinners! The other thing I have done is to prepare meals and frozen them in their raw state. That might be marinating chicken, pork (or whatever), then freezing them I need that state. Boy, that's good. I also sometimes will do spice mixes, for curries, or whatever, and make double, the remainder of which I then vacuum seal for another time. I'm not trying to flog you any of these things, but there are some great ideas out there, and some fab ideas on YouTube. There are more and more LC and Keto eaters out there to help us out when we need a bit of help or a nudge to deliciousness. I know this is hard for you, but one day a time a time seems like a decent plan, and to be stringing those days together is very encouraging. Keep going. [/QUOTE]
