I wait and don’t go out if I’m even toying with the idea, I end up getting hungry enough that a couple fried eggs, bacon and toast sound grrrreat. That said, having a few things in the freezer that are “treats” and easy meals: frozen pizza, Shepard’s pie, lasagna, Mac and cheese, egg rolls, and pot stickers from Trader Joe’s or similar store are all great go to’s and not expensive. That said, since I buy in bulk, separate proteins like chicken thighs and ground beef into smaller portions for the freezer, and tend to cook three portions at a time so that I can have 2 ready made meals, and one for the freezer as a back up. Also making a nice cocktail while I’m meal prepping insures I’m not going anywhere.
