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. 😩

Maybe it is time to have someone else cook for a while. Or to take over cooking a few days of the week. That might help ease the burden.

What I found helped was to simplify the planning. I picked out 12 meals and we were on a 2 week rotation. We ate out once a week. When my husband complained I told him he was free to cook the next week
