Big fan of your work and so glad to have found you here on substack. Just tonight I made the bean/chorizo/hearty greens stew from Good Enough, with a lot of tweaks (pinto beans, dry cured chorizo) and it was still great. Served over rice.
Besides time constraints, there are cost issues -- it is much more expensive to cook healthy than to throw something pre-packaged together -- but I also only have one functional hand. While I do have adaptive tools, the amount of packaging it is simply impossible to open one-handed is terribly frustrating., as are many other simple tasks in the kitchen.
To expand on my poll response: Between trying to lower the amount of my carbs in my diet (trying to keep T2 diabetes in remission), steering clear of allergens and dealing with some ND issues with food, cooking just isn't fun. I simply cycle thru my safe food options. Also, the cost of groceries in Canada right now is depressing.
