You got my attention with German "spaghetti sauce"... what's in it?
Mexican shredded chicken for tacos :
3 lbs boneless skinless thighs
1 large jug Pace Picante sauce.
Mix together sauce and chicken.
Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
Pull apart and serve with tortillas and toppings of your choice.
See what I mean? 🤣😂😁
For more speciality ingredients full meals delivered, perhaps see if UNITY aka COOKUNITY does delivery in your area. They don’t do near the advertising of the all those others out there. It is a local chefs driven menu concept done nationwide. The meals are local chefs recipes done in a commissary or ghost kitchen. So the ingredients are local resourced. Delivery texts you as to delivery schedule too. They do dietary restrictions meals. Choices are really good and most could be frozen if need be. As an aside, Unity are pretty green / sustainable for their packaging and delivery comes in an insulated foldable tote bag with a fit to fill the bag base frozen cooling brick and then the top has bubble with smaller frozen cooling bags atop it. I mention this bc a lot of the others do their delivery / shipping in styrofoam boxes and the cooling packs seemed to be way less than optimal.
Home Chef and Blue Apron were dreadful. Our son & his gf have run through all of these and couple others. When they come to visit, they bring over whatever still in the frig so it isn’t wasted. That’s how I got to sample these.
I cook but if I was out of commission and hubs had to take care of meals, and not need to use UNITY for a delivered meals service, I would go with Trader Joe’s frozen items, like pick a dz then times 2 and Trder Joes packaged in a clamshell salads (not bagged mixed salads). The baby green with blue cheese crumbles, pecans, cranberries with vinaigrette dressing is the bomb! TJs portions imo are really perfect for a couple.
I found cooking way too stressful for me. After standing at the kitchen counter trying to prepare something, my back starts to complain, then I can't enjoy my meal. I do make a really good "German" spaghetti sauce but only if hubby helps, that I freeze for later.
lealonnie1, oh how I wished I had kept my old crockpot recipe book from 40 years ago. It came with the old crockpot, remember how heavy those inner bowls were? Needed a crane. The newer recipe books I had bought are too complex for my food-recipe-challenged mind :P
AlvaDeer and cwillie, we have Whole Foods here, and numerous chain grocery stores that sell ready made meals, but the sodium level is still too high. Was surprised at the sodium level for Whole Foods.
If you and he are willing to eat the kind of meals that come pre-made on a tray then the expectation shouldn't be that you must churn out fine dining full course meals KWIM?

My picky Italian Aunts liked it, and you don't need a subscription. I haven't ordered in a while only because now my cousin cooks for the remaining Aunt. The meals were easy to microwave and offered a good variety. They offer menus for all sorts of dietary needs.
Above is a list of the delivery companies that provide frozen meals, and their reviews. I haven't tried any myself, but Blue Apron caters to specific food requirements.
I use the crockpot a lot because it's foolproof. Add the ingredients in the morning and dinner is cooked in the evening. The last thing I made was Minestrone soup, meatless, with low sodium chicken broth. Great for someone like you who dislikes cooking and needs low salt. Much less expensive than pre made delivery services too.
