My meals are very simple...but healthy and love them. I grill, bake or " skillet fry" meat with just enough Canola Oil to coat the pan, ..and have a big salad with it. Sometimes vegetable salad...sometimes lettuce and fruits. I don't eat starches much..but if I want a potato..I scrub wash a small potato...slice into rounds, spray with butter Pam, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and microwave for 5 minutes. I cook zucchini or yellow squash the same way. I also rely on frozen mixed veggies and the microwave. Zap a helping of frozen corn.
Sometimes I cook a roast..and divide the cooked meat into small freezer bags. I bake cake in a 9X13 pan, cut into squares, freeze on a cookie sheet and then bag all in a gallon freezer bag. Get one out when needed and zap in microwave 30 seconds.
My breakfast is a pre-cooked frozen pork sausage patty, 2 eggs in a microwave egg cooker... zap in microwave 1.5 minutes while dry toast is in the toaster. OR a bowl of shredded wheat with sliced banana....or raisins in it.
I don't wish to cook lunch and supper. I like the rare sandwich, but don't' wish them daily, so make a chicken or beef stew, freeze in small containers and microwave a bowl full for lunch. OR do the same with bean soups. I make cornbread in a 9X13 pan and freeze it as I do cake, and zap one to go with my soup or beans.
I am cooking this way for Milt and I.... but I can't see that routine would stop if either of us were alone.
Walmart makes fine chicken breast tenders.. eat that and a salad. Ditto for their Rotisseried chicken!!
Just throwing out some ideas for you. Be happy to discuss in more detail if you like.
Have a wonderful day!
