When I work with clients as a dietitian, I encourage them buy or make one vegetable (or two) for the week, if they want to eat vegetables.
This is super helpful when you cook for one, because it's too easy to buy vegetables and accidentally let them rot.
Make these simple roasted broccoli and mushrooms one night, save the rest for other meals, and season them when you're going to eat them. That way you can adjust the flavors to go with whatever you're having for dinner.
This easy way to meal prep is a nice bridge between cooking every night and eating leftovers every night. It's a great way to have something delicious, but enjoy it in different ways- but still not cook every single night!
