Well I'm not much of a cook honestly. Not because I don't have the talent, but because I primarily choose to spend my time in other ways. Not the best decision as I'm a fitness junkie and a proper diet is essential. I do search for what I call "quick meals", something like the "Healthy Choice", "Lean Cuisine" and others that are easy to fix, but sadly are very high in sodium. I try and build a balanced meal from that. I also like to use packets of tuna and other meats for sandwiches for lunch. Really no complaints, but as far as prepping a large meal. I can assist, but doubt if I'd take the initiative.
