[quote=Anonymous]I try to stick to a schedule. So, Monday is eggs, Tuesday poultry, Wednesday beans/pulses, Thursday fish, etc etc.

Then sit down a plan a two-week menu. The menu doesn't have to be super complicated. So, Monday can be an omelette with whatever veg you like. I have a large microwave steamer so that I can cook green beans, broccoli, etc in about 2 minutes.

Tuesday could be chicken curry, or Jerk chicken, or chicken meatballs, chicken sausage....I sometimes cut chicken into bite-size pieces and freeze with a marinade. Then dump bag of chicken+marinade into Instant Pot along with a can of tomatoes. Serve with rice (I have a rice cooker).

Wednesday might be veggie chilli, or a burrito bowl. Nothing complicated. Again, a rice cooker is very useful. You can make your own Chipotle cilantro rice by mixing a bit of lime juice and chopped cilantro to the rice after it's cooked.

As others have suggested, try making some sauces or meals for the freezer. We love Thai food in our house, so I freeze Thai curries and add fresh veg after they're defrosted.
