How do you all deal with weekend food? (beehaw.org)

I'm driving myself nuts eating like a little piggy every weekend even though I eat really healthy during the week. I even like my healthy food so it isn't like I'm depriving myself. But I meal prep for M-F and don't have it in me to cook on weekends so I eat tons of junk. So, does anyone else do this? Did anyone else get over this? Do you have some other food woes you want to get off your chest? Or some other random thing you would like to discuss?

Make your own junk food that isn’t actually junk, like, I make a bunch of bean burritos and freeze them, or fill an ice cube tray with pasta sauce and pop out and nuke the cubes to add to some pasta.

I never thought of freezing pasta sauce in cubes but that's pretty brilliant.

It works well the bolognese or other particularly saucey sauces, not sure how it could work with something like carbonara. Also, weird thing, you can put pasta sauce on things other than pasta (?!?!) such as potatoes or eggs.
