Have a few things in the freezer.
My first instinct here was to say "HOT POCKETS", but a frittata is better. Listen to Hec.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have pretty much talked myself into not eating dinner because it's too much trouble right now, so I don't feel like I can help with that, sj. But I hope you can make something work.

Thanks, -t. If I didn't have two other people to feed, I'd probably never cook. I am a good cook, but it is exhausting for me. And half the time I end up just giving TCG instructions.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
tonight I had green with an avocado and smoked salmon. I bought the salmon from the farmer's market, so I made none of it.
I have larabars and frozen brkfast sandwiches when I really cannot brain/spoon a meal.
Also just bought hummus and crackers for the same reason.
Conversely, my best friend from college - a trained chef and now college level food/nutrition teacher makes 4-5 dishes for dinner each night. Makes me tired just thinking in. I am all about one thing for a meal.
