I’m almost 40 and I’m gonna try this cooking thing out. Fingers crossed

So, cooking stresses me out. Like, beyond what is normal. It’s so bad that my SO and I have a deal in our house; She cooks the food and I clean everything in the kitchen. It has always stressed me out and I’m not really one to get stressed. I get so stressed that after it’s done, I don’t want it. It maybe bc I don’t have a lot of time to cook. It may be bc of the pressure of people that rely on me to make a decent quality meal. Maybe bc in a past life I may have been judged a little too harshly on some dishes. Whatever happened it’s a thing I now struggle with. I’m rambling but bare with me. My job has recently changed hours and I’ll be getting home before my SO and that got me thinking a lot about preparing the food. I really want to enjoy it.

I want to start building a repertoire of recipes that I can make for the family that’s easy and tasty. Something that I don’t have to stress too much about. I hope to build my confidence today then I can tackle bigger things later. I’ve been creeping on here for sometime and Ive seen some really easy, seemingly stress free, recipes I could start on.

My two go-to things That I know how to cook are chili and spaghetti. I’ve done those so many times that it doesn’t stress me. I think that might be it too- Getting used to the process. I was wondering if y’all could posts links, make suggestions, and just guide me in the right direction and help me become a stress free cook with a set of solid, simple recipes that I can work with. Thank you in advance!

Ps, I’ll probably still have to clean the kitchen after 😅



bon appetit
