I hit a barrier in my eating at hoem that was similar to your problem of the same food over and over....well I realized that it was not the food it was me having withdrawal for the old stuff and my body fighting me to eat bad food so I just did not take the time to make good food and give myself a variety....once I took the time and made these foods...I could eat everything.....think tupperware.....think left overs .....cook in bulk....divide large meals at home into several meals....to re-heat food.....you have an over with you....find a container your comfortable with made of metal...or wrap your food very well in foil and use the engine to heat your food.....not cook just re-heat....take to long to cook....but a chicken breast....turkey......anything really....just don't put any plastic around the food or it will melt....10 minutes on top of a manifold ...will heat it real good...instant hot meal....
