I used to do it once a month when ltc was at school, but Mom was here to help. I haven't had her out of the house with anyone else here with me to do the heavy lifting since March and things got a little crazy.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

I just realized that TCG won't be coming home at lunch anymore. Which means I'm going to have to feed myself lunch, which I'm terrible at. I usually grab something terrible when I'm too hangry to think.

Plan ahead! Make a frittata - you can always heat up slice when you're hangry.
Have a few things in the freezer.

My first instinct here was to say "HOT POCKETS", but a frittata is better. Listen to Hec.

The last several grocery deliveries, I tried to get frozen breakfast burritos, but they've been out of stock. I guess I should make something at the beginning of the week that is easily microwaveable.

I associate hot pockets with a boss I hated, so I can't eat them.

Can you make something for dinner that will have leftovers that freeze/reheat easily? Like lasagna? Or a pan of enchiladas or burritos?

Possibly. If I make a pasta dish, there is usually a portion or two leftover. I'm making pasta with garden tomatoes an zucchini tomorrow. So, I'll see what's left of that.

Is it difficult/unwieldy to double the pasta dish so you'll have even more leftovers?
I make a shepherd's pie in a casserole dish that gives us several servings of leftovers.
Chili and soup are also good for making a large batch with leftovers that taste even better as leftovers.
Honestly, sometimes my lunch is a can of Progresso soup heated up in a microwave soup cup, along with a roll or cheese cubes or an apple or something.

Yeah, I'd have to get out the bigger pasta pot that is too heavy for me and takes twice as long to heat up.

Maybe in the cooler months, right now, I don't have the appetit for that.
Lentil soup would work. I don't like canned soup, but I can make a batch of lentil soup in the crock pot or instant pot without using too many spoons.
