Parsley Box meals

@ariarnia thank you for the suggestion of “gits”, I hadn’t heard of their products before. Their website has a lot of interesting things, so could be ordered online (we’ve no Indian shops locally).
 

@warby68 thank you for the suggestion of rescheduling my day. Like your mum, I tend to have most energy early in the day, so a quick lunch keeps my momentum going. I tend to cook only the veg I need for each meal, I don’t like the idea of reheated veg as I worry the vitamins will be lost.

Blue_Doggy,  could you not take your meal out of the freezer a day or two before, and defrost it slowly in the fridge?  The added bonus of this is that it helps to keep your fridge cold.  And I would certainly use frozen veg, if you have the space to keep a bit of a variety.  The other option is ready-prepared veg.  Its expensive, but on the other hand, for veg such as swede and butternut squash, it makes life so much easier if someone else has done the hard work.
