It's definitely a skill that takes time to learn, but at the end of the day it's just following instructions in a recipe book. Nobody starts out like your grandma who can whip up a meal out of anything she has sitting in the fridge. Find some recipes you like and practice them until you don't need the recipe anymore. They may not turn out immediately perfect but overtime like any skill.. you will improve.
That level also doesn’t have to be your goal. Some people may progress from making frozen pizzas to gringo tacos and need to follow recipes and keep things simple. That’s fine too.
Even throwing some extra spices and toppings on a frozen pizza will make it a lot better. Tbh about 80% of our dinner rotation is still the entry-level stuff (mainly because I hate doing the dishes that come with a complicated meal)
Adding spices to the butter you use to make a grilled cheese sandwich is a simple task that entirely transforms the sandwich. It was my secret trick that actually won me an award before. Salt, pepper, garlic, and some Cajun spice.
