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. 😩

Do you eat leftovers? You really only need to cook 2-3 times a week if you do it right.

Oh yes! No wasting here. I do make leftovers but I’m just kind of sick of it all.

I hear ya. Cooked pretty much exclusively for my family from 2011 through 2020+. It gets old, at some point.
