I used to love to cook, and as time passes more and more I have become SUPER adverse to it and I have no idea why. Even the idea of say, making oatmeal on the stove or a pack of instant Ramen is too much for me. I do plan on trying to make myself do it and try to form a habit of it but for now I’ve only been buying pre made/take out food and it’s super expensive. How do yall hack this so that you buy groceries you’ll actually eat??

Some info:

I don’t have a microwave

I’m not super food restrictive

I’m a brat and only like fresh veggies (not precut or frozen), usually organic

I try to avoid preservatives but I do like chicken nuggies/tots/frozen pizzas, but I really want to try and stick to a healthier veg filled diet

An example of something that isn’t overwhelming for me to make are protein shakes: put powder, kefir, water, PB&J in a jar, shake it, drink it.

Any advice is super appreciated 🙏

      Honestly I would bet that it is a burnout thing, but it’s been a couple of years that the love of cooking has been decreasing…I guess it could still be burnout though 🫠🫠 since you’re on keto, can you give me some other ideas of what you eat? It looks like charcuterie is the best option lol but yeah, sneaking veggies in is a must

          Ooo, Cabbage to snack on sounds great. I saw a snack of cream cheese spread on red bell pepper too which is really good. You are definitely speaking my language lol. The mug cake idea sounds pretty easy to whip up too. It’s so wild, like why does that seem less labor intensive than cooking a pack of Ramen noodles?!No reason, brain just days so lol.
