missdeke I can't peel sweet potatoes which I like better than potatoes or butternut squash..What I do is line a roasting tin with foil. Wash the SP then put into the tin prick a couple of times put in bit of water and cover with foil same with BN. I put into the oven when reheating my dinner for hour. Once I take my dinner out I turn off the oven and leave them in for hour . I then put them into a bowl once cold put into the fridge next day easy to peel . I bag them up and put into the freezer.
I can't cook everyday as I never know how I am going to be each day..So I make a stew of either large chicken breast ,Quorn mince,chicken pieces or sausages browned and cut into 8 using kitchen scissors. With pearl barely and plenty of veg which once cooked for 90 mins I portion into 6 oven proof dishes they way always have a health dinner.
I have a flippy peeler for carrots . I can top and tail but that's it ,onions I peel, courgettes top and tail, leeks the same but cut length ways and wash if necessary. Mushrooms are wiped with kitchen roll and end of stork cut off.peppers cut in half and deseed,toms cut in half and core cut cut out. They are then frozen as I can't chop them. They go into to my from frozen once cooked I use kitchen scissors to cut into it. Hand to hold handle in each hand to use. But it works . Not pretty but tasty.
I make my red lentil and whatever soup it's whatever veg I have . The one I am eating at the moment is made from carrots , onions,courgette and cauliflower as that what I had at the time. I cook for 90 mins and blitz with my stick blender. Put into a large plastic box enough for 6 lunches. My porridge is cooked in the microwave because I could stir long enough . As I lose control of my hands plus they tremble all the time.
I eat the same food all year round even on a hot summer's day. But I always have healthy meals in my fridge.
