Has anyone gotten themselves to start enjoying cooking?

Now that Im pregnant and have to eat healthier I’m trying my best by cooking sometimes but it still is such a chore for me. I know I need to get used to it . I also hate that I live 6 blocks anyway to get to a supermarket. Trying to force myself to stop being lazy 🥹

Yes! I love cutting up my lil fruits and making my little ghetto charcuterie boards of Applegate Chicken Nuggets & Mango 😭 I’ve been craving fruits like crazy so it’s a lil easier for me

I don't mind the cooking part, I just hate deciding on what to eat. The mental labor is worse than the physical labor for me. I usually try to cook something I can eat over several days and have lots of healthy grazing food around for when I'm uninspired. I find I'll go through the occasional phase where I have so many ideas to make and then spend the rest of the time just exhausted from it

@Jocelyn same! It’s too much work thinking up meal ideas. I like it when my husband requests certain things to make it easier.

Lately I’ve been making granola bars and it’s so easy and fast and one tray can give you so many days of healthy delicious snacks! And they are way healthier than store bought ultra processed ones.

I find the meal kits like dinnerly help. Saves time on planning and shopping. I've also found heaps of great recipes on Pinterest. Generally I make a bit extra and freeze it down for when I don't feel up to cooking. Also a bit cheaper cooking in bulk.

I hate the deciding and the cooking and the cleaning up🤣 always hated cooking but i do it because i need to eat well and my kids do. So i plan meals, make myself meal prep, and always watch something or listen so i can endure the cooking😅
