Hi, I live on my own and have done for twenty years now, I work full time, generally don't have the time or motivation to spend a lot of time cooking. I also suffer with depression and anxiety so when I have bad days I often end up just eating toast for my tea.
I used to virtually live on ready meals but I have stopped that now. I do want short cuts, don't want to chop veg and spend ages in the kitchen. I am however running out of ideas of what to eat. My basic diet is chicken and fish, I don't eat red meat in general but I do like mince.
When I'm in the mood I will batch cook and this is handy but I need to be in the mood to do it in the first place. I will make lasagne, cottage pie or bolognaise. I refuse to reheat chicken as I am paranoid about it so I will only eat chicken straight after its been cooked.
I do eat veg but its Birds Eye Steam Fresh done in the microwave or ready prepped fresh veg.
I have a slow cooker and an air fryer. I only use my oven now to do a dish for batch cooking (like lasagne).
I read things like pasta and potatoes not being good for you as they are carbs, so what are you supposed to eat? To me they seem to make a meal more filling.
Any ideas on a good but simple food plan that I won't get fed up of. My fridge and freezer is almost empty apart from some breaded chicken and fish and sausages.
