Have a crustless pizza for breakfast (I love pizza for breakfast): stir fry up all your veggie pizza toppings add your meats or shrimp to heat, dump in enough pizza/tomato sauce to sloppy it, put it on an ovenproof plate. Shred your favorite pizza cheeses on it (I like gruyere, mozza, parmesan - not the crap powder, and feta), then shove it under the broiler for a couple minutes til cheese is slightly browned and bubbly. ENJOY!

Why give up the pizza if you enjoy it. Make a couple cauliflower pizza crust pizzas or meatza pizzas and freeze them in slices of two or three and you can enjoy when the kids aren't home.

If my kids weren't home I'd totally make eggs and bacon for breakfast. Lol. My kids are bacon hogs so when I make it when they are home, its a pound gone in 2 minutes.

This is a fairly common issue in my opinion, in that (at least it sounds like) it's not necessarily the craving for pizza, it's the lack of willingness to prepare a better option so you go for the easier/more convenient route.

I could of course be wrong about the above, but I'm going to lean in that direction for now unless you go deeper into your motivations for it.

I'd recommend that you start preparing food in advance. Figure out a meal or two that you enjoy eating that you would also enjoy (or at the worst case, tolerate) reheated. Assign one day the following week (if you feel motivated, do it TOMORROW) to prepare that meal in bulk. Eat one meal fresh the day you prepared it, and pre-package the rest into containers such that you can reheat them. Prepare them in the most convenient way possible and put them in the front of your refrigerator so that on Saturday you see them when you open the refrigerator.

Sounds like I am going overboard here but I quite literally mean you should stick the food in a Tupperware type of container so that you can microwave it, and make sure that this container is staring you in the face in the front of your refrigerator so you can't avoid it when you open the refrigerator. This environmental stuff is massively important even though people tend to think it doesn't apply to them.

If you try this and it works, I would consider assigning a food prep day and permanently putting that into your schedule so that you can build this habit.

I keep salami and cheese slices around for laziness. I used to do food prep every sunday, but have been working those lately.

Hmmm...I'm the opposite. On my weekend, I cook more. During the work week, I end up having lunch meats and cheese a lot. >_>
Today I sauteed some sliced mushrooms in butter and garlic, then added some chicken broth and heavy cream.
Fried some pork chops in leftover bacon grease and then added the mushroom gravy to it and let it simmer.
Wowsa!
As a bonus, I now have an extra pork chop in mushroom gravy for tomorrow. YAY lefties!
Leftover bacon grease is also what I usually toss some cabbage and meats into. Cooks up fast.

-T.

When you put a chicken in the crockpot do you put stock in too? I've only ever made stews in mine!

Super lazy... go to the drive thru and buy bbq chicken.

Cheese, pate, salami, brie, deli meats.

Pork rinds and sour cream to dip.

These would get me through a weekend.

Not quite so lazy... pre cook bacon in the oven, keep it in the fridge. I can eat it cold if it's crunchy. Boil a dozen eggs and keep them in the fridge. I eat these cold too. Slice them in half and put sour cream or mayo on top.

the super lazy part = you speaking my language :-D
