There comes a time in everyone's life when everything is overwhelming—whether it's dealing with a loss of a loved one, struggling against depression, fighting an illness or surviving during a pandemic.

When everything gets to be too much and you're paralyzed with either indecision or anxiety, it helps to have a plan to get through this period when you chant to yourself, "I just can't."

In this book, you'll find your "I just can't" meal plans that you can prepare on autopilot to get you and your family through to when you "can" deal with things again. These recipes are so easy they shouldn't even be called recipes. But sometimes when you're mind is so full of other things, it helps to have an easy button—or in this case, an easy book—to reference.

It would be impossible to have an easy reference book that would take in account everyone's food allergies, preferences, or dietary needs. Let this book serve as a guide and make substitutions that fit with your lifestyle. That being said, there will hopefully be something for everyone in this book.
