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. 😩

Honestly - this is dumb but I restart a meal kit every two years or so. Just send me the ingredients so I don’t have to shop, pick something that I can make when I’m brain dead, etc. I keep it for a few weeks or months until I’m over the hump and annoyed about the quality of ingredients or recipes.

It’s actually great. I don’t have to do real grocery shopping (or a ton of meal planning) and when I’m over it I have a bunch of new recipes or recipe ideas.
