Food shopping and cooking have never been my thing. Actually⌠hate might be the better word đ
Not sure if itâs a canât-cook situation or a wonât-cook situation. Probably both. One thing that always gets a proper eye roll from me on social media is watching people batch cook and meal prep for hours on end. Perfect little containers. Six burners on the go. A whole Sunday afternoon dedicated to chopping. Looks lovely. Also completely unrealistic. With two kids under five, a âsuccessfulâ dinner usually means something that can be made in 15â20 minutes without anyone losing it (mainly me). So over time, things had to get practical. Just simple, healthy meals that: â donât take ages â donât involve loads of ingredients â and that both adults and kids will actually enjoy. That meant getting quite ruthless about food. No complicated recipes, elaborate meal prep or pretending thereâs time for things that donât work for me. And thatâs why my meal plans look the way they do. They arenât designed to be Instagram-worthy. Theyâre designed by someone who doesnât want to cook, doesnât want to think too hard about food, and still wants something that people want to eat. It turns out a lot of my clients love that. Not because itâs exciting but because itâs doable. It works on busy days and doesnât need a lot of motivation, organisation, or a free Sunday afternoon. Sometimes the best recipes come from a mix of laziness and real life constraints... Anyone else allergic to cooking⌠or is it just me? đ
