I used to love to cook, and as time passes more and more I have become SUPER adverse to it and I have no idea why. Even the idea of say, making oatmeal on the stove or a pack of instant Ramen is too much for me. I do plan on trying to make myself do it and try to form a habit of it but for now I’ve only been buying pre made/take out food and it’s super expensive. How do yall hack this so that you buy groceries you’ll actually eat??

Some info:

I don’t have a microwave

I’m not super food restrictive

I’m a brat and only like fresh veggies (not precut or frozen), usually organic

I try to avoid preservatives but I do like chicken nuggies/tots/frozen pizzas, but I really want to try and stick to a healthier veg filled diet

An example of something that isn’t overwhelming for me to make are protein shakes: put powder, kefir, water, PB&J in a jar, shake it, drink it.

Any advice is super appreciated 🙏

    Would an electric kettle help? You can boil water with it, and then pour that water over ramen noodles, seasonings like miso paste/ chili flakes/ sesame oil, and chopped veggies. Makes a decent noodle soup, and is less hassle than heating it all up on the stove.

    Or a slow cooker/ pressure cooker, where you just put all the ingredients in and it cooks it into a stew, soup or sauce.
