Does your husband…. Not cook at all…? \- order groceries online for delivery or pick up, saves a lot of time \- together on Sunday afternoon do one meal prep recipe like soup or chili or enchiladas and some prepped components like roasted veggies and some baked tofu \- during the week dinner is either batch prepped recipe, or prepped components with easy additions, so prepped baked tofu add hot fresh rice and some salad, or prepped roasted veggies add chickpeas snd pasta and sauce from a jar

Focus on having a stable pantry of items and learn to cook with them, then as you can you supplement or replace them with fresh stuff. Have your starches as a base of the meal, rice, pasta, noodles, potatoes... other stuff like cornmeal and flour too can go here. Onions and garlic as well. Then you can have quick stuff to serve with them. Jarred sauces like tomato sauce, or curry, bricks of japanese curry, ready made stir fry sauce, canned stews etc... Condiments of course too, hot sauces and spices to add variety, and a few snacks and treats too of course! Then you have the freezer which you can use for all sorts of things, but focus on protein and veg to round out the pantry stuff. Bagged frozen veg, frozen fish, frozen ground meat all cooks quickly and well from frozen. Then you can easily throw together a meal with your staples. Some protein from the freezer, a jarred sauce from the pantry or fridge, and some starch from your pantry with maybe some extra condiments or spices. Long lasting stuff in the fridge like jams and pickles and cheese and salami/coldcuts might also be considered staples. A little plate of crackers and cheese and pickles can be just fine when you need a meal in a few minutes. Similarly a fruit bowl of longer lasting fruit like apples is a good idea. Try to keep a ready stock of all of these staples, then supplement with fresh stuff. Have some extra time? Make your sauce or stir fry with fresh vegetables. Able to meal prep? Make a big batch of cooked chicken thighs for the freezer. Have time for a grocery run? Get what you want for some salads. If you keep it stocked then you have your pantry to always bounce back on, and you supplement it when you have time and willpower. If you want to lose weight, use the amount of starch you eat as the first lever, and try to replace with more vegetables.
