[quote=Anonymous]You don’t need to be a good cook. What you need are 2-3 basic recipes that are easy, freezable and can be eaten next day or 2. I work full time and I am the main cook at home. I get help from family in prepping (dice onions, peel potatoes, this type of stuff). But I never cook for 1 dinner. It’s just not realistic for me. Recipes I do cook often, are things like stewed meat. One hour active work max, and then we can have it with different sides and salad for 2-3 days. Another one is meatballs in sauce. If it’s in fridge, then can boil pasta and dinner is ready. I make my own, but you could even buy premade meatballs. Chili, beans, rice with lentils, etc. As another pp mentioned, heavy soups. These recipes do not need special skills or being a particularly good cook, and can guarantee at least 3-4 days of healthy meals. Make the hardest night, take out night, or breakfast for dinner, or sandwich night. And another where kids cook, and you’re kind of set for the week.[/quote]
