Who else is tired of cooking?

I actually like cooking, not every day. I usually make something on Saturday and/or Sunday to have enough leftovers for my son and I the rest of the week. If there's a lot, I'll freeze some for days I'm too busy or lazy to cook, or run out half-way through the week.

I think it's fun to experiment and try new recipes. Even more so to make up your own recipes.

I wish I could cook for everyone 🥰 I really like cooking from scratch now that I'm on my own and am able again.

I'm experiencing very much the same thing.
I used to enjoy cooking when people would come over for a meal.
But hardly anyone visits anymore, and I've lost my culinary skills.

It's become easier to just take something out of the freezer or open a can, than to practice preparing a meal.

I am right there with you. I meal prep to avoid eating unhealthy things that are readily available. However, it is so much work and time consuming. There's the grocery shopping, the cooking, and the cleaning. Life is so hard. 😭

Me!

After years and years it just feels like a chore, ugh. Not always, but mostly.

Have you ever tried any of those meal delivery services you can order?

Bean salads
Rice & beans
Homemade hummus on toast

Lots of meals are very very easy, just gotta know what you're looking for.

I enjoy cooking. But my work and school schedules of recent months have taken away the joy of trying new recipes. My mind just can’t process that anymore.

It is easier to cook something I could do with eyes closed (if you’re going to ask about that, yes, I could chop with eyes closed!)

Cooking is annoying. Clean up, prep. I avoid it.

I cook 3 nights a week, the rest of the time I'm not there. I like cooking, but sometimes have to force myself as I'm so tired. Lately with the hot weather we are having a BBQ one night.

I admire that you have the discipline to prepare meals for NEXT WEEK!
I live on things that i prepare on the spot. With things I have in the house at that particular moment.

Ih GOSH !
I hear ya🙋‍♀
Im down to snacking in the evening on the equvalent of cartoucherie boards: stuff i like, cheeses, meats, fruit and veg..nuts etc: nibble food.(,sometimes jarred stuff like pickles or other marinated veg).

I kinda like it. It means i eat slowly and its easier to tell when im full. Plus i never have the guilt of not eating everything on my plate.

It also means i only have to cook a bit of meat, boil some eggs or buy a cooked chicken at the begining of the week.




When i finish work, im too buggered and its too late to cook - its gotta be easy, nutritional and yummy...
...and this is what has evolved.

It also makes me a bit more mindful about what my body is craving - i think about each and everything i choose tjat night that goes on the board. Sometimes i replace the protein with a little can of tuna or tofu.

And it has encouraged me to eat more fresh food.

Im almost DONE with cooking. Especially when its only for one person.... it's become tedious.

Anything i cook has to be under 30 minutes. I dont have the patience for it anymore.

Ive really come to love my snacky meals.
I can see why such an ancient way of eating never went out of fashion.
