tl;dr: spend 3 hours a week doing food prep such that you can throw together many quality meals with minimal fuss over the next week.

Food prep: buy your veggies, Broccoli, Asparagus, meat, potatoes et al on Saturday.

Boil, bake and prepare the food on Sunday so that on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, an easy breakfast, lunch or dinner is made by tossing two eggs (or other protein source: roasted turkey or whatever you prepared on Sunday), roasted potatoes, spinach, Broccoli and the like and you're good. At least one good meal per day.

I do this for our family of three and we eat at least two high quality meals per day.

Food prep takes practise. Eventually its like clockwork and you can crack out a lot of food in 3 hours.

Well, if it is just clockwork and habituation. I guess the main problem is that I haven't turned it into a habit yet. Let me find my book by Ivan Pavlov.

Anyways, thanks for the advice!

No problem and good luck with whatever you do. Once you get going with this, and it starts to work for you, it becomes part of your process and an asset in your life.
