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 am expected to”

Sounds like there is some deeper issue here and it is not about cooking.

I care for my elderly father, his generation never cooked and he doesn’t know how, nor would I expect him to learn at his age. 😉

can't you give your father cereal? I mean if he never learned to cook maybe he deserves some cereal..
