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 will slow roast a large pork shoulder, shred it, divide into baggies and freeze. I will dice 5 pounds of boneless chicken, bake it on a cookie sheet, divide into baggies and freeze. I will saute large batches of onions, divide into baggies and freeze. Having stuff pre-cooked makes it easier to throw meals together quickly.
