I'm kinda with you, cooking brings me no enjoyment, every moment is a burden. But I can't justify eating out/delivery all the time. Aggressive minimizing is the best I've found. Basically only 1 pot meals and a dishwasher (two for pasta or rice I guess, but those pots can go in the dishwasher, even if it's kitchen sins). You can buy precut veggies and ground meat, chuck it in a stir fry with spices, use a bowl, spoon, and spatula, call it a day. Really the only manual cleaning then is the one pot (cast iron is great here because you can hit it with a metal scrub, quick and no thought even with burnt on stuff). I'd expect all the groceries can be delivered without much premium (though I can motivate to get to the store most of the time so I'm not sure): onions, peppers, carrots, mushrooms, meat of choice, spices, basic sauces is 90% of it. Also, learn to fry eggs and flip them in the pan. Removes the need to wash a spatula. Toast bagel, and the only thing to wash is the pan, and while it's still hot it's basically a rinse. Great easy breakfast/lunch. What I can say is any cooking tool you do actually use, get it quality. If I use I knife I want it to cut easily, if I have a pan I want it not to stick and be easy to clean, if I have a cast iron I want to abuse it without remorse.
