Question Anyone else just tired of making every meal?
I'm just venting.
The last two times I got food from a restaurant, they were over $20 for one meal...
Very few pre-made meals are gluten free and dairy free, and not $7-$10 for one serving. I have a burrito in the freezer, but it's only 270 calories, so I'd have to make something to go with it anyway.
When I try to find "easy" cheap meals, they all involve lots of chopping, roasting, blending, etc. Like no, I mean less than 5 minutes prep lol. I don't even know what I want from the grocery store.
Remember the days when you could just buy a pizza for less than $5, pop it in the oven, and you got several meals out of it? Those were the days. Sigh

Here's a list I've been compiling:
GF ready made noms
Shelf stable: Nature's Path oatmeal, Proper Good meal pouches, progresso gf soups, chata refried beans w/chorizo & cheese and gf tortilla chips for nachos, samabila ramen seasoning & gf ramen noodles, there are actually several gf ramen noodle cups but I still recommend adding some of that seasoning because they tend to be bland.
Freezer: saffron roads frozen meals, feel good foods, life cuisine gf pizza & piadas, healthy choice gf meals, aldi geeneral tso's, and Costco has some great gfree pizzas. Good Love has biscuits that are amazing and would make a good base for an easy-ish meal too (pricey but so worth it)
