Do You Ever Have Trouble Figuring Out What You Want To Eat?

All the time. I used to like to keep some frozen Amy's meals in the freezer, but they have gotten expensive.

I'm a lousy cook and don't like to cook. And I'm a bread hound. I love peanut butter. I get the kind that has to be stirred. I have to stop myself from eating it with a spoon out of the jar.
 
I cook and then eat it 3 days in a row. Once a week I cook for 2 friends that come over. I tend to rotate through the same meals over the course of a month.

Yes, happens a lot. I have to make sure that what I'm craving for dinner is still going to be what I want when I'm thinking about it in the morning. Or not. šŸ˜µ

I have a Miracle Thaw that allows me to thaw meats at the last minute if I can't decide earlier in the day. I bought it many years ago off the TV for $19.99, and it's been the best investment.

Right now I'm having an oven BBQ'd chicken breast and left over salad for breakfast.

I never heard of Miracle Thaw before. Sounds like it is a good investment. My Dil used to say she could cook frozen chicken in the NuWave oven in a very short time, but I never tried it. I've even seen YT videos touting the same short cook time for frozen meat. Still, I prefer my meat to be thawed before cooking it.

@ArnoldC @officerripley You both mentioned bologna. I haven't had that in decades! I guess because I basically gave up cold cuts. Also I started becoming nauseated when I smelled hot dogs, something we used to have once a week. I'm wondering if the bologna would smell like hot dogs to me. :unsure: Arnold, are those army meals the same as MREs?

@Myrtle I used to love apples and peanut butter for a snack. I sprinkled a little of my Splenda - cinnamon mixture on the apple slices. But in the last couple of years, most of the apples I bought had no taste, so I stopped buying them.

Right now I'm doing the low-fiber pre-colonoscopy diet and I have no idea what I want to eat (have pitiful not-real-choices, like do I want a saltine, oyster cracker, or pretzel?).

But normally I don't have a problem (especially for breakfast and dinner, lunch tho can be a quandary) because I have the same basic meal except with a limited number of substitutions. Such as always have a scrambled egg for breakfast but the topping might vary. Always have a half cup of high-fiber-no-added-sugar cereal but have three choices to alternate through. Always have a small dish of fruit but it can vary among different types of fruit. Lunch and dinner always have vegetables but the exact one can vary among a small set of veggies that I like.

The only food I remember being able to eat before a colonoscopy was j-e-l-l-o.
Orange, cherry, strawberry......
 
It usually happens after a loss in the family. To begin with, when I was just a kid, the adults would go into deep mourning and food wasn't made. If I was hungry (and usually left alone at home, while the others handled situations), I had to go, "ini mini myni mo!".

Had to make choices of what I could make and was allowed. After the last important death, and the next four years until work, the choice were TV Dinners, so it was a choice of which available.

Another four years, I got more meals at work. So, it was the choice of which restaurant for breakfast or lunch time. Dinner at home, I had to bring a takeaway.

One special year, I experienced having to feed myself on a trip. It proved to me that I could live on my own. It was a great experiment.

Long story short, wondering what to have happens when on my own and after a loss. Sometimes, the weather makes us rethink meals. With daughter, it's great as other ideas are thrown into the decision.

Overall, it's been often due to moods.
