[quote=Anonymous]Most of the frozen family entrees at TJs will fit the bill.

If you have time, there are several stews, chilis, soups, casseroles, etc. you can make and freeze then reheat. That way, you can use better ingredients and control the salt. Use the foil pans so you don't have to deal with dishes. If you don't have time to prep ahead, look for reduced-sodium canned soups/chili (you can always add more). Sandwiches and bagged salads are quick, easy, and healthyish (healthier if you ditch the cold cuts and use chicken breast or "actual meat"). My kids like making "snack plates" (charcuterie), and would happily eat those several nights a week. You can buy prepped veggies/fruits and then have cheese, sliced salami, olives, etc. and crackers and/or bread. "breakfast for dinner" can be pretty much pre-made, too.

If you can cook a little, but can't stand at the stove for an extended amount of time, you can make pasta in an instant pot in about 10 minutes and it doesn't suck. I've even done it with the barilla protein pasta, which holds its texture and offers better nutrition. Quick, cheap and simple. Throw in a bag of frozen veggies/spinach for better nutrition.[/quote]
