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 do meal prep with some nicer meals on Sunday for three days.
On Wednesday I make some low-effort mealprep again, but with simpler recipes (mostly stir-fry noodles).
This means no boney meat here for protein. Only stuff like canned tuna or chicken breast. Tofu is also an easy protein source. For vegetables I only use the food processor, because cutting with knives is too slow. For carbs I use noodles.
If I am too exhausted on Wednesday for even that, I just eat some oats with milk with a protein shake on the side and some vitamin pills.
