What's working for me right now is meals in courses that are easy to put together with one hand. I have help, but I'd rather use that for the shopping end to bring in supplies than the 3x daily prep end.
I do miss salads, though.

Wow, yes, I'm in a similar situation atm, thanks for the good wishes! I have just a small wrist fracture -- of course it's my right and I'm right-handed -- so it's pretty comical watching me attempt to cook with just the one left hand. I'm 3 weeks in, so hopefully just another few weeks and I should be back to normal.
And yes -- grains and frozen veg are everything!! I've also stocked up on Japanese sweet potatoes, which I can just throw in the microwave and eat plain. That's really been the big take-away for me through this, that I can live without recipes.
Anyhow, thanks for stopping by and reminding me there's light at the end of the tunnel!

Hang in there! Incredible that I found you here! Yes, the hand I fractured back then was also my right hand (Im right handed too)! I think it's common: the side you use the most has higher probability of injury!
Hang in there! Nothing is impossible!
I wish I had sweet potatoes that teased decent here but I live in Portugal and most sweet potatoes at the store are too expensive,mtoo stringy and fibrous and fall apart after cooking....not to mention they aren't even tasty. Much rather have regular potatoes or grains.
I've had good sweet potatoes in the past, can't wait to travel and taste them again!
Big hugs, and if you need anything, just pm me!
If you ever come to Portugal I'll show you around!

I'm desperately trying to break a cycle I got myself into of having cravings before bed, giving in to them (mostly with lots of fruit), and then I'm not hungry in the morning...which leads to start eating later in the day and consequently being hungry late at night! Ugh... I really miss my oatmeal in the morning but I can't get to it when I'm still digesting last nights food... Not to mention that I don't sleep as well due to late eating.
How do I break this cycle? Any advice? It's so silly but our minds really get used to anything...even the days I'm not really hungry, my mind is like: ok, I'm waking you up, it's 2am and It's time for eating during this night. I need and want to to change!...
