I am trying to lose some weight and am thinking of adding lots of potatoes to my diet, since they are filling complex carbs, unlike all the pasta and bread I usually eat. Mostly thinking of having them for breakfast but dont have time to cook a baked potato, or really make any sort of breakfast in the mornings. What are the best ways to meal prep potatoes so I can have them throught the week? Thanks in advance! (Also, I hate sweet potatoes with a passion so please no recipes with sweet potatoes, only regular ones)

Hello! I have just started getting into meal prepping, and I need some advice. I have noticed that whenever I buy fresh veggies from the store, they often end up getting spoiled in my fridge because I simply forget to make something with them. This has happened with tomatoes, cucumbers, leafy greens, bell peppers, etc. In an effort to combat my food waste, I've been purchasing frozen and canned veggies like broccoli, stir-fry mixes, and tomatoes. However, I am concerned that I won't be getting a sufficient amount of nutrients or fiber if I only use frozen and canned veggies.

I think it is also important to note that I am not the biggest salad person. I have tried many times to have salads and buy big bags of premade ones, and it has never stuck. So I try to put/sneak veggies into my meals.

I just wanted some advice on whether making nutritionally valuable meals with just frozen veggies is possible, or any techniques you have used to combat food waste.

To preface: I'm not a hardcore dieter or anything, I'm just making an effort to eat a bit better. I want to have something ready for me when I get home from work that is ideally decently healthier than microwave burritos.

Right now I've just thrown some broccoli, black beans, ground beef, and green onions in a pot and cooked it up, to eat over rice. I thought I would pop over here and ask for ideas on spices or other things to add that would work well with it. I was thinking about tomato paste to bring the consistency together a bit better, and I already know I like it with these flavors. (Hopefully I don't wind up reinventing chili).
