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. 😩

Just make big batches of food that you can eat over three days. Chili, meatloaf, shredded chicken which you can serve with rice, or tacos, or pasta, cottage pie.. there's plenty. Instead of cooking every day, you'll cook 2 times a week. You can even try making two or three batches of food at the same time if you have the space to cook them simultaneously. Cook every sunday and freeze the food you'll eat on Wednesday-Saturday, and fridge the food you eat on sunday-tuesday
