See my previous post about buying a freezer. But your frozen food does not have to be pre-prepared. Frozen stir fry veggies, maybe a ca of water chestnuts and a cut up onion. A cup or two of rice in the rice cooker. Cut up a pork chop or some other meat. I can make a variety of great stir frys in about 15 minutes of actual in kitchen prep time.
