In my ongoing struggle with executive function, I am currently trying out one of the grocery/meal delivery services (Currently it will remain nameless, I might name it later).

So, I had my first box this week and have just cooked the last of the meals (and put half of it in the fridge for after the gym tomorrow).

Pros:
It tends to mean that I actually have meals of several ingredients/food groups.
It has meant that even when low/spacey/migrainey if vaguely functional I am saved the half hour of repeatedly looking in the fridge trying to think of what to make
The food is of good quality and the instructions are well written

Cons/weirdnesses:
It is odd to get a grocery order with exactly one clove of garlic, and it makes navigating adjusting the recipes difficult/sometimes I disagree with the quantities (which is fine at the moment, as it's a reforming a habit thing)
It's a bit pricey, and would be more so if cooking for multiple people
It doesn't substitute for some form of grocery shopping in which I can just get easily absorbable calories for when I need some energy/spoons before doing a thing.
Based on this weeks recipes, they are very keen on a frankly unnecessary amount of chopping/cubing etc.
