meal preparation help

[buglebe]

I'm looking for suggestions for meals that don't take much standing preparation time.
I don't care how much chopping or peeling is involved if I can do it sitting down but I need recipes or suggestions for meals that don't require much standing. I use a walker, and standing is a problem. This takes thinking because I come up with so many ideas and then I find my husband has to finish it after I start it. Ideas please?

I have a very good friend that has to use a walker. Her solution was to get a chair that is between the height of a regular dining room chair and a bar stool that she uses when she is "standing" at the stove.

My husband does something similar to this. His feet are a mess and he can't stand for long periods. He has a stool that he uses that folds flat when not in use. He thinks he got it at a neighborhood hardware store that we shop at.

I too have a stool over by the stove/prep area that I sit on while I cook. I have been having ovarian pain and if I stand more than about 10 min it feels like a lit match on my left one.

Look for crock pot recipes ... those are wonderful especially on days when my knee or my shoulder and neck are giving me problems. I can do the prep work at the table and then toss it in the CP and forget about it !
