In my family we always cook cacero, we make our own food, we don't buy anything pre-made or ready-made, except for some special days, and pasta, although we also make homemade pasta. I learned it from my grandmother, there was no money and the cacero was cheaper and it is known that it contains.
I think the only canned food I buy is tuna and something else, but I like to cook my own food... the first dish I'm not sure what it is... but the second is something I have no problem eating for several days. I love fruits and vegetables, more than meat, but there are vegetables like one that I don't like: broccoli. You said it yourself: making a plan that we like and not getting bored in the process is the key.
