[QUOTE="copilost, post: 2095479, member: 510611"] Hi, I'm interested in this thread because I like to cook but on certain days not so much. Three days a week I do a long commute - 3hrs each way. I come in the door at 6pm (on a good day) having been out since 5am and have to be in bed by 8pm if I'm going to get 8hrs sleep. So I have 2hrs in the evening to do everything that isn't working or travelling on a "commute" day. Cooking isn't high on that list. I'm tired, hungry and need "down" time, not more doing stuff. I need food that is hands free, low thought, no shop and quick. Sometimes even the thought of getting out a frying pan and engaging with food is too exhausting. I've managed to sort this on my usual low fat high carb diet. Top of the list is reheated left overs or pre prepared batch cooked etc. In the oven, no supervision, for 20 minutes is also good. Beans and lentils with vegetables and rice. Pre prepared pasta sauce and pasta. Pie/stew and mash. Quiche. I've worried that the pie/quiche, cheese on lentils is too high fat but I balance that with other things. A chicken slow cooked at the weekend will see me through a lot of week day meals but those have been LFHC to date so I have to re think them. Store cupboard/frozen is good later in the week as perishables run out. Previous example would be tinned sardines on pasta. With LCHF pre prepared and frozen strikes me as tricky because fatty food doesn't always reheat well and fats don't last that long in the freezer. So some ideas on how that works would be good. A quick pre prepared/frozen starter ideas cheat sheet would be nice if anyone has one :-) CoP [/QUOTE]
