People who say that they cannot cook on a 40h work week are just inefficient at cooking. It sucks to take a long time to prepare meals, but you will get faster.

When you first start cooking for yourself you'll easily double the times online recipes say. As you get better at prep and more of an understanding you'll eventually reach their times. Dishes afterwards are included in this: most recipes have downtime that you can entirely clean up during.
- ericmay 1y agoYea I agree too. It really is a skill. The first few times you cook a dish you are reading a recipe maybe, oh whoops forgot to cut the celery, ugh this is stressful! but then by the end of a few attempts you start to get much better and much efficient at it. I get that not everyone wants to cook though, but for those who do or want to eat healthier food you can do it and you WILL suck the first few times you cook anything because you're a human being and you haven't done it before.
- etblg 1y agoBuy a bag of rice, a bag of frozen veggies (corn, carrots, peas, already cut up), some chicken thighs, throw it in a rice cooker, that's a meal right there, almost no effort. Roger Ebert wrote a whole cookbook about using the rice cooker, guy loved the thing, makes for a very easy meal.
