We do the smaller plate/bowl thing with food too.

It's funny, you just named off most of what I eat; the no-cook stuff. I cook about once-twice a week, which is great if you don't mind eating the same thing for a full week.

Trish you can easily cook only once or twice a week and still eat something different every week of the year! There are a *ton* of options out there. What sorts of things do you like to cook?

I'll take a picture of our ramekins but really there are trillions of options out there, here's a random one on Amazon -

any Pier One import will have a number of pretty options for you. You just get one or two for personal use!

good idea about rameins. I will take a look at some.

My new no-cook meal - Open a can of beef pieces (from costco, next to the canned chicken). Put purple coleslaw, already diced in those bags they sell at supermarkets (or green coleslaw - i just like purple as it has more fiber). Add a dollop pf sour cream, some rosemary, black pepper and garlic salt.

Stick in the microwave for three minutes and eat! Yum. No cooking, no prep. Just opening a can and a bag.

Walmart and Target have pretty inexpensive ramekins, too. And, if there's a restaurant supply store near you, they usually have different sizes, as well as ones made of different materials--hard plastic, glass or even metal.

I use them mostly for putting dips in for veggies. Ranch & salsa or Ranch & hot sauce are great with well, almost anything.

Yup ramekins are excellent for dips, to help keep your healthy eating exciting and fun
