Do the same thing every Saturday and Sunday with a different dish each time. Viola now you have a rotating menu. The food will be good in the freezer for quite a while.
I haven’t found many dishes I enjoy eating after they’ve been frozen. I end up cooking the same dish again before I’ve finished the frozen ones as it tastes so much better fresh.
I’ve kept up the habit of prepping for a few months but I gave up as I started ordering in unhealthy food a lot more rather than eating the frozen stuff.
Cook 4 or 5 chicken filets on Sunday, 2 cups of brown rice in the rice cooker, bag of frozen veggies.
Lay out 6 containers in each put about 100g of Chicken into each, 100g cooked rice in each, and about half a cup of frozen veggies in each.
Put all the containers in the freezer. Take one each day for lunch, microwave for about 2 to 3 mins.
All up that’s like $15-$20 for lunches or morning tea for the week.
Yeah but then I gotta eat the same thing every day, and I prefer to have a varied diet.

That’s 3 weeks of prep in individual containers. OP said they didn’t have a lot of storage space.
