How are you able to cook while working full time through the week? Do you have some kind of strategy? How do you plan your food? (beehaw.org)

We want to break out of this cycle of ordering delivery but at the same time, cooking everyday has been a challenge. We also have been trying to develop some sort of routine where we meal prep on the weekends but we live in an apartment with a really small kitchen so cooking and storing food for 5 days doesn't seem doable. Maybe cook for 3 days and then prepare the ingredients to cook again on Wednesday?

I'd appreciate if you could share your strategies and experience. The goal here is to eat healthy and good food.

Edit: Thank you everyone for all your contributions! I am a little overwhelmed by the number of replies so I if I do not reply to you please do now feel bad!!

It would not work for grocery shopping or sticking to the fridge like your idea, but I bought a blank recipe book and I've been writing in recipes I like with whatever modifications I make so it's the version of the recipe I like and it's great. I don't need to do a meal plan though because I just meal prep one thing for the whole week.
