Hi everyone,
My mom has Hashimoto disease, Ebstein Barr Virus, and Cushing disease, so needless to say, she struggles with energy. When she is hungry, she grabs what she can find, which is not always enough nutrition for her. For her birthday, I want to put together something for her with recipes that require very little effort or energy to make, but something she could do when she's hungry and low on energy.
So here's my question to you all... what do you cook/make when you're tired and feeling low? What kind of snacks or meals are your go-to? Do you have recipes that don't require you to stand for long?
If you could share the recipe on here or a link to it, that would be wonderful.
Thank you so much for your help!

I do the same. Try to pre cook on the good days, and keep fruit, popcorn, cheese and crackers. Small easy meals is best
