We want to break out of this cycle of ordering delivery but at the same time, cooking everyday has been a challenge. We also have been trying to develop some sort of routine where we meal prep on the weekends but we live in an apartment with a really small kitchen so cooking and storing food for 5 days doesn’t seem doable. Maybe cook for 3 days and then prepare the ingredients to cook again on Wednesday?

I’d appreciate if you could share your strategies and experience. The goal here is to eat healthy and good food.

Edit: Thank you everyone for all your contributions! I am a little overwhelmed by the number of replies so I if I do not reply to you please do now feel bad!!

    I used to love cooking, but have not had the time lately. I bought an Instant Pot and have been pleased so far. As other commenters have said, a pressure cooker is the magic solution here, but I do appreciate that mine also functions as a traditional slow cooker and air fryer. I live alone, so cooking once a week is normally enough to last most of the week (or more), so I usually find a recipe I like (usually just by searching “Instant Pot [whatever food sounds good]”) and cook it on a weekday. I end up eating a lot of soups. I like soups.
