For me, driving. Its not that driving is difficult or i’m just not able to drive. Its that there are just too many awful drivers and pedestrians you have to care about on the road.

    Do you have a freezer? If not buy one.

    You can make enough food for ten meals in the time it takes to prepare one meal.

    I have a five quart pot and a lot of pint size containers. I’ll make a pot of stew/chili/soup and freeze portions for later use. Right now I have three choices sitting in the freezer.

    Another trick is to roast an entire chicken on Sunday, and then have roast chicken as a main ingredient for the rest of the week. Chicken sandwich, chicken taco, etc.

    A big salad can last two or three days in the fridge.

      Yes. You explain it as if what I have described were an intellectual problem. It is not, so the support you tried is not helpful in my case. But this is public, so, maybe for someone else.

      Cooking most foods is just: take a piece or meat or veggie. Cut it into a few pieces (or not). Put in a hot pan with some type of oil or fat. Add whatever spices/seasonings are on hand (or not). Wait 5-10 minutes. Eat. You don’t even need to be standing by it for those 5-10 minutes.

        I don’t know varying expertise’s story, but I’ve noticed that the people who learned to cook as children have a much better time of it than those who didn’t. When my sister was in 5th grade and I was in 3rd we were allowed to bake cakes unsupervised.

          I did get to play in the kitchen as a kid, but it all really came together for me when I started cooking from meal boxes.
