I live with my parents right now, and honestly, they don’t have the healthiest diets. They both work, so they don’t cook often, and if they do, it is usually quick, sometimes frozen, and always unhealthy.

I didn’t even eat what my mom made tonight because it was so unappetizing to me.

I know that cooking using fresh ingredients is healthy and also tastes better. But it requires a lot of trips to the grocery, which I don’t always feel like doing. Does anyone have advice on how to make this habit easy to pick up? And any tips on what to buy, like how long of a period of time should I shop for, ideally?

I do eat meat. I like red meat and chicken a lot. Not really pork, so much. I don’t like seafood.

I am fighting an aversion to vegetables I have had since I was a kid. So far I’ve liked pretty much every veggie I have tried, but I’m still having a hard time working up the courage.
