How often do you cook? Have the same few things in rotation? Cook for anyone else too? Prep multiple days at a time or cook every day? I personally work a weird schedule so I prep food 5 days at a time. Also only eat one big meal a day. That could be anything in my dozenish meals rotation. I prep for my girlfriend too but shes simple. For her I cut up some vegetables (bell peppers, cauliflower, celery and carrots usually) then cook up a couple pounds of seasoned meat (chicken breast or 90/10 ground beef). What about you?

My rotation only has me working 2 or 3 days at a time(GF is on the same schedule, so I prep her meals at the same time as mine), so typically the night before one of those working periods I'll make an extra large dinner that also serves as my meal prep.

I have maybe a dozen dishes in the "frequent rotation", but I regularly cook off menu as it were. This last work period I make is burrito bowls, and we've got a 3 day coming up, not sure what I'll make yet, but I'm currently feeling curry rice.

Love curry rice! Yeah I'm in a similar boat in a 28 day rotational schedule. 14 on 14 off 7 over nights 7 day shifts all 12s. So before a 3 or 4 day on I have a day of cooking. If I'm gonna pick up a few OT shifts I fill the freezer typically. My girl works a normal schedule and works from home semi frequently. So sometimes I set up a crock pot and have her run it for 4-6 hours. That and pasta are about her culinary limits lol.
