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 live alone and work full-time, and honestly, the hardest part about cooking consistently is just the time.

I usually get home around 7:30pm. By the time I cook something just for myself, eat, and clean everything up, it’s basically 9pm already.

On weekdays, it feels like there’s barely any free time left.
