I have time to make a nice meal every day. That does not mean I want to
though. Sometimes I don't feel very creative, don't have a particular
desire. I can walk through the supermarket and not see a single thing I
want to eat.

So, at least once a week it is pizza or sandwiches, or a rotisserie
chicken type of meal. Occasionally I'll get one of the meal kits from
Publix. They are usually easy to prepare and are pretty darned good
with real food. They are not "poor people" food though, as they run
from $12 to $20 for two servings.

I've not gone the route of frozen dinners, but some do look interesting.
Always have an assortment of frozen veggies on hand too.
