Another two weeks, another round of What the hell are we eating? Welcome to Survival and Sanity: Weeks 9–10, where the focus is chicken (because it’s cheap), simplicity (because I’m exhausted), and enough reserves to keep you from spiraling into meal decision burnout.
This plan is spoonie- and budget-friendly. You’ll find cook-day meals that stretch across multiple nights, plenty of “fend for yourself” reserves, and recipes that don’t demand your soul in exchange for dinner.
