We changed during the Covid restrictions and now eat out only once a week. We tend to make the mess once and cook enough to freeze. When I grill burgers I grill 10, 8 of them are cooked on high heat for just 3 minutes to medium rare and then instantly into the freezer, later 2 minutes in the microwave and they are as good as just off the grill. I don't like processed lunch meat so we will buy a cooked ham and then bake it for a couple hours and the next day slice and cut it for freezing, you can get a lot of sliced ham for lunches out of one of them. We also bake boneless skinless chicken breasts that we slice for sandwiches. Lots of things you can do to make it easier as we age.
