I'm looking for something healthy enough I can whip up on the worst days.

And sorry if this has been asked before. I'm struggling with the search function, haha.

If you don't have one, buy a good sized freezer. It takes just as long to cook a meal for six people as it does for only one. Freeze the extra and nuke it when you're not in the mood to cook.

I have a five quart pot; I'll make a big batch of chili or soup and freeze it in pint containers.

You can cook a whole roast chicken on Sunday, and use that as a meal base for the week. Chicken tacos, chicken sandwich, chicken and rice.

Second the freezer! I like to do a lot of meal prep work when I have more energy and then freeze all kinds of things that make very filling healthy meals in less than 20 minutes. My 2 favorite examples are chicken pot pie filling and pesto. All the work is done ahead and I have everything pre-portioned so I don't have to think about it later. Just grab it out of the freezer and start warming it up!
