You’re staring down a full sink of dishes and a near-empty fridge, and it’s dinner time again. If ADHD impairs your ability to consistently plan and prepare meals, try adding these low-effort recipes to your repertoire.
Let’s face it: planning and preparing meals is a full-time job. That’s the way it feels, at least, and some people do make a career out of it! Nutritious, balanced meals require thoughtful planning and focus. At the end of a long day, finding time for the grocery store or maintaining motivation in the kitchen can be mentally draining. That’s true whether you’re cooking for yourself, your family, or an army.
For people with ADHD, a well-orchestrated meal plan can test already-weak executive function skills. On the other hand, an improper diet can lead to emotional dysregulation.
My go-to easy dinner is grilled salmon. All I have to do is remember to take it out of the freezer in the morning. Salmon cooks very quickly and is very healthy.”Omelets are super easy and fast to make, especially when you only add cheese. But I like to add vegetables: onion, squash, jalapenos, or whatever I have [on hand]. Most sautéed veggies are great for throwing into your omelet. If you aren’t a pro at flipping omelets, just scramble the eggs.
