Cooking: if you have a favourite food or foods, cook it in batches, and keep it in the fridge or freezer. Spaghetti sauce or chili were good ones for me. (A friend swore by pilchard stew. Each to his own.)
Yes, that is what I do too. I have ten sealable glass bowls. I fill them up with bean, veggie and meat stew cooked in the Instapot about once a week. Then I have meals the whole week long. Very inexpensive and fast too.
I used to have a running Indian buffet at home. Every day I would cook something to last three or four meals. I would usually have rice, a chicken curry, a vegetable curry, and some beans (channa masala). I could keep that up for weeks at a time.
Recently, I have thought about doing a running Mexican buffet. That would be easier. Keep three or four days of fried rice and refried beans and have either burritos, tacos, or enchiladas most days. For the burritos, tacos, and enchiladas, I could make a common filling such as shredded chicken to last three or four days. Alternatively, I make really good shredded pork.
Indian & Mexican food are delicious. I think I prefer Indian though. That tumeric, it helps with my arthritis.
