I learned veggie prep while working at the base galley...I don't do it any more because only 2 of us here and I can not eat but 1oz of veggies at a meal, so that is like 3 brussel sprouts..hehehe
I just steam what we need each night!

Wow! I like this idea will have to give it a try! Aside from not liking to cook ( I used to enjoy it now I am just tired of it) I really do not like having to figure out everyday what I am going to make for dinner. Asking DH what he wants for dinner does not even help the answer is always the same " I don't care" then when I tell him what I am going to make he says that isn't what he feels like having, but can he tell me what he feels like......NO.

I have a lapband, so eating is not always a priority for me...and I am getting where I hate the thought of cooking just for him..you know, MR. I don't care...well, now "I" don't care and he can make do....
cooking this way means he has choices, and if I am cooking it lightens my time spent in there every day...I know I have to stop working at 4:30 to have dinner done by 5...if I am going to need to ADD, I usually prep things at my lunch break so they are ready to go at 4:30! and If I have a meeting that night, I leave him a note and he fixes it himself...

whew...smells crazy in there right now...
