    One thing I did when I was laid up was make a lot of stews and dishes in the crockpot. I gathered everything that had to be chopped into a plastic bag and carried it over to the table along with a bowl or the crock. I then sat down with my foot up and chopped and cut up everything at once and dumped them into the container. I only had to cook a couple of times a week this way.
