To help those who feel they are in a rut, you might want to try these ideas
...
1. Go to the store and buy a fruit/veg you've never eaten before - and then, come home and find a recipe that goes with it
.
2. As mentioned, the fish counter is your friend. So many different fishes, but so many can be prepped so simply and quickly - it's the "no work" dinner plan when you add it with a vinegar dill cuke salad or coleslaw and a baked potato or fresh loaf of bread
3. Try French
. Or really, any new cuisine you haven't done before
.
4. ONLY COOK ONCE A DAY
. Yes, we eat 3 meals a day, but cooking for 3 meals will get exhausting. Breakfast can be simple - eggs can be microwaved, oats can be overnighted, frozen waffles can be toasted and covered with jam...and there's always cereal
...Lunch can be leftovers or prepped on one day for 2-3 days (making a chicken salad or precooking bacon for BLTs or making a pasta salad, etc) or even just sandwiches. And if it needs to be complicated, it's the perfect meal to let others make for you or the rest of the fam (my 2 eldest tend to be "the lunch makers" here and they have some standbys like homemade scratch mac and cheese, toasted peanut butter and banana sandwiches, microwaveable pac clean out the fridge fried rice, and clean out the fridge homemade ramen).
