I’ve already found the ready to go veggies but not all the ones I want are ready made. Maybe other stores have different ones. Once I start cooking again I’ll drop the weight I gained. I can’t usually stand seconds. Firsts are hard enough to gag down.
Maybe a peanut butter sandwich, only 3 ingredients and 1 knife. Salt free Turkey sandwich sounds better but has an additional ingredient unless I forgo the sandwich spread, decisions decisions??? Saturday a friend will be back so maybe she’ll come to my rescue.

Publix stores here in Florida sell chopped broccoli, cauliflower and carrot mix, chopped onion, squash, zucchini, sliced mushrooms, chopped celery, sliced peppers ...there’s always the baby carrots...Whole Foods has a little more variety at steeper prices. If you buy baby red potatoes, you only have to wash them, no need to slice. And Publix has Aprons...ready to cook meals with all the ingredients but you’re paying a price. They have a cooked pot roast meal that is quite good but probably a lot of salt for you. If you like beets, Love beets are already cooked in the produce aisle. Corn on the cob is already stripped and packaged for you.
Whole Foods and an organic store called earth fare have cooked meals....make your own combos...Whole Foods especially has a lot. Again you’re paying for it. At EarthFare I bought a turkey loaf dinner...2 fat slices and 2 heaping mounds of mashed potatoes for $6...So good and 2 meals. Their pizza is fantastic. Their stuff is fresh and organic and you can eat in the store...same with Whole Foods. Ready made pasta, quiche at Publix. Quite a lot of convenience today in supermarkets.
White turkey is a good cold cut...it’s still processed food which you should not have too much of. I rarely eat sandwiches and won’t touch white bread. If you like cranberry sauce, try putting that on a turkey sandwich or lettuce with Italian dressing in place of a bread spread. Keeps it moist.
What are the names of the stores that you go to? I go to quite a few different ones because I know what I like at different ones and I enjoy it. Even the deli departments of different stores have prepared stuff for you but it takes traveling.

If you luck out you might come across a food sampling day while shopping..My Publix seems to be doing this a lot and one day I had my entire lunch all over the store....even wine sample! Awesome.

I don’t think I said anything unthinkable in this post for your sensitive eyes to read. If I did, just chew on it lol.

Regards from FL Mary who will not mention a fabulous meal she had at an exceptional Japanese restaurant last week.
