sambtween's Journal, 14 September 2015

Going to go back to the prepackaged meals, like Smart Ones, Amy's, Lean Cuisine & Micheline's light line. I've spent years caregiving, shopping for, preparing meals and cleaning up afterwards. Maybe that's why although I'm good at it, I have no desire to cook. I don't mind the cooking but I'm tired of cleanup. Plus, I'd have to food shop nearly every other day in order to keep using fresh food, because you can't freeze salad. Hating to shop has nothing to do with past caregiving, I just never liked to shop. Nobody looks twice at men who don't like to shop, but society expects women to just do it. I also have a problem with portion control, and the prepackaged meals take care of that. But first I need to finish off the real food I bought in a moment of weekness: Kirkland smoked salmon, romaine lettuce and cherry tomatoes, plus have to do something with the celery that my brother bought, used half, and he's done with it. I can't stand food waste, it's sort of a sin when so many are hungry, so I'll have to slice it so thin that you could see through it. So once that's gone, it's happily back to the packages. I'm also back to the caregiving again, as a family member just had surgery, and I have to pick up the slack. I spent 17 years caregiving, had 10 months to get out of the practice and try to put myself first, and here I am, back to caregiving again!

I love the prepackaged meals for days that I don't have time to cook - or if I didn't plan well and need to eat right away. They are very helpful in a pinch.

I use prepacked meals sometimes too, especially when I'm busy. Only thing is the sodium in them. I buy the salad mixes and cut up fruits (cost more but Im lazy, lol). So I can add them in to meals. Buy a chicken roaster cooked and you can make a few meals out it.
