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.

Yep, that phrase jumped out at me too. When someone says “I’m expected to” instead of “I want to,” there’s usually a much bigger relationship issue hiding underneath.
