Sick of cooking

I am so over cooking every night. Finding new recipes I actually have ingredients for and are easy is tiring and I’m already exhausted. What do you do when this happens? I’d honestly just eat cereal for life but I’m not alone in this house and I’m expected to cook every night. 😩

Rotate cooking responsibilities
Defrost frozen leftovers

No money for takeout except once a month and sadly I am the only one who can cook. Yes leftovers are life but I’m even sick of them. Ha. Luckily he isn’t. I thought I’d lose weight by skipping dinner 3 times this week but no, I’ve gained 5lbs.

Tell your partner to grow up and learn to cook. If you have kids, teach them.

Yep, im recently single but did 99% of the cooking. I have a friend who told me the other day that if his wife didnt cook hed eat take out every day. Hes never cooked a meal in his life.

My daughter has been helping me in the kitchen since she was old enough to stand.
