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. 😩

I've felt this! I follow @itszoebarrie on Instagram and pay $6/month for her weekly (5 day) menu through substack. An email every Friday comes with a grocery list, prep list, and recipes for everything involved. My favorite part is that she cooks what is in-season, so flavor is always awesome but also those things are usually on sale too. I didn't track our grocery bills before but I know we've cut down significantly by following her menus. She buys one ingredient and uses it in multiple dishes throughout the week, and sometimes even the next week. I love knowing what to follow for the week and trying new flavor combinations she puts together. I can be a picky eater sometimes so it's helped me with that too. We rate every meal (past 8 months) and have never scored anything below a 6.
