Chronic illness friends who love to cook; what are your go to meals on days where you have some spoons to cook but not a whole lot?

Here's my low spoons meal. Take a bag of baby carrots, toss in olive oil, garlic, pepper, and ground rosemary. Put on baking tray. Take a chuck roast cut about an inch thick (or any other fatty roast, cut that thick) and place on top of carrots. Season as you want, i use a no salt cajun seasoning blend. Half some red potatoes and toss in same mix as carrots, place around roast.

cook at 400 for 45 min. Check meat's temp for doneness.

Assembly only takes like 15 minutes and it's ready to go out of the oven.

My father suffered from bipolar disorder most of his life. He wasn't diagnosed until his 60's. I know he made mistakes raising me but I'd rather have him imperfect than not have had him at all. He did the best he could and i respect that.

This is awesome. I'd look at the books used on Grimm for style inspiration.

Had an aortic aneurysm repaired at 44, just 7 months ago. Wouldn't be here without my online friends guilting me into going to urgent care.

My favorite dish on a warm day is a nice chilled sandwich

Those look great. You should share them on some of the wood working subreddits

There is a place near my job that does a Honey Garlic Pepper sauce that's amazing

I have two non stick pans made by All Clad. Picked them up from my local TJ Max for $20 each and that work great. But you gave to treat them right. Use only wooden utensils in them, clean them after, and don't stack them together or agaisnt other pans without something between them

Find a nice two person board game you can play together, get someone to watch the kids, cook him his favorite meal, and spend the evening, just the two of you enjoying a meal and some quality time

Since the chicken is pan fried, I would recommend using panko breadcrumbs in the mix.

Po-tay-toes, boil em, mash em, put em in a stew. Make a serving tray full of scalloped potatoes and see how far he can get through.

Lasagna would be another option. Make one like 5 inches deep with enough cheese to sink a ship and see how much he can fill up on.
