Hi everyone.. Heres the thing. I am on my 4 week pre op diet.. I have no issues with lunch or Breakfast, but when it comes to dinner I have a hard time deciding what to do.. Some nights are very easy, but does anyone have any suggestions that are VERY VERY easy for those nights when one just does not feel like cooking??

Please provided suggestions.. I wanna stick to to my diet, but apparently I still need to adjust. The nutritionist said it will get easier going into week two and three so I am looking forward to those weeks.. I don't mind eating healthy infact I LOVE IT.. I just get tired of cooking EVERY night..

Any suggestions will be appreciated..

Thanks to everyone in advance :cursing::biggrin:

This one is easy for me for dinner...just throw a whole chicken in the crock pot and pour a jar of chicken gravy (healthy of course) and cook it all day. Very easy and my family loves it as well. Then just heat up some veggies and your good to go. I suggest putting everything in the crock! Now that the kids are back in school and I do work part time it is a lifesaver!!

On the nights that I just absolutely don't want to cook, I warn the family ahead of time that they are on there own for dinner because I'm not feeling well or because I'm tired. When I do this though, I make sure there is something easy for them to make in the freezer or pantry. My daughter is 14 and she pretty good at throwing Frito boats together! lol. Then I'll just make myself a small bowl of Cereal or throw a south beach meal in microwave, I may add a salad too. I probably do this about once a week.

I cook about 2-3 meals a week in a crock pot when I know I won't have time later in they day. One good recipe is chicken chili:

4 chicken breasts

1 jar of salsa

1 cup of chicken broth

1 cup of chili Beans

chili powder to taste

cook in slow cooker/crock pot for 4-6 hours on high, or 10-12 on low.

Also, I cook a lot of food so that I can have leftovers and don't have to cook everyday.
