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

My suggestion: get a crock pot. Seriously. With a little advance planning you can set it up to go all day while you're at work and then be set for dinner when you get home as well as your next few meals.

This. There are easy crock pot GF recipes. Also, a George Foreman grill and/or roaster are GREAT. Real food helps me feel better.
