I have a well-earned reputation for being something of a klutz girl. In the last decade, I've broken a toe, broken a foot (complete with sprained ankle), seriously strained a back muscle, and just recently, sprained my other ankle.
I think I'm making up for all the major injuries I didn't have when I was a kid.
It's been tough to cook this past week. Standing too much isn't good, getting back and forth from the stove to the fridge is tiring, and I can't stand on my tiptoes to reach dishes on high shelves.
I'm lucky enough to live in a city with grocery delivery (unsolicited plug, but seriously, Instacart is pretty awesome) so I didn't have to hobble through the store. I got easy and fast things to cook. Lots of eggs and frozen vegetables, fresh fruit (go anti-inflammatory antioxidants!), and sandwich stuff. Simple to fix, and just as important, easy to clean up.
What do you cook when you're not at your best? What's your comfort food for when you just can't manage being on your feet?
