  • I think you need to address why cooking sucks for you. Do you know how to cook properly? My wife isn’t a big fan and that’s mainly as she doesn’t know what goes well together and doesn’t know how to use herbs and spices so needs recipes to tell her how to make most foods, especially initially.

    It’s quite easy to throw something healthy together. Eg. Had a chicken breast, stir fry veg and rice meal tonight. Rubbed a spice mix on the chicken and threw it in the air fryer for 20 mins, cup of washed rice in some water (to just over top of finger nail) cooked covered on low for 12 mins and left to steam for 5-10mins with cooktop off and then fry up some pre-cut stir fry veg - convenient, quick and not much more expensive. Throw a sauce like chutney or honey-soy (or bbq) on it and happy days. Doesn’t have to be hard, doesn’t have to cost a lot, doesn’t have to take long and doesn’t have to be bad for you. But this is something I would do, my wife probably wouldn’t.

    Sitting down with the family and eating a meal is also good bonding time and helps mental health.
