I think you are probably doing the best you can already.

You can have 'make your own sub night'.

Hardboil a bunch of eggs...

Have yogurt in the frig.

Tuna is versatile.

Slow cookers, filled up with soup or stew fixings the night before, give you a hot meal the next day when you get home.

Put a bar stool in the kitchen to sit when you cook.

Mel's cereal idea worked in our house too...even oatmeal can be made in a microwave.

It is hard to work a stressful full time job, deal with illness and raise kids without help from the spouse. Spouse simply can not do enough either.

We spend about $150-200 and we don't eat out much. We do eat a fair amount of organic or high quality food...in season we can get some pretty cheap veggies. I do drink organic milk which is $3.49 per half gallon, locally produced and packaged. I admit I eat better since I was diagnosed, but at times, Ensure was all I could get down and hubby had to do ALL the cooking and clean up...some days he still has to.

PN is so unpredictable, you never know how you will feel. Give yourself options and some slack.

Don't add guilt to your work load.
