I like the food I’ve cooked but man having a treacherous body that has pain from just existing means the making of the food is fraught. Also I’m usually the one making dinner so it’s exhausting everyday. Wish food could just pop into existence.
I make my breakfast a week at a time (over night oats), my lunches are typically sandwiches made day of, and my dinner is usually pilaf or lasagna made in roughly 10 day portions.
Doing such large portions minimizes cook and prep time which is great.
The problem is meal prep exhaust me, and also my husband wants different food constantly. Were it just me, I can eat the same thing every single day. He is a normal human and needs variety apparently!
I do prep occasionally when I have the energy. Canning soups, chili, or making lasagna, pasta, freezable stuff and uh freezing it!

Meal prep is a godsend!
