I want to learn how to cook properly and make simple recipes and don’t spend too much time looking for what to make everyday.
So I start looking into some recipes I can make with the instant pot that we have at home.
But then I can’t find certain ingredients in the local supermarket, or the ingredients are too expensive, so I start searching for other places to buy cheaper produce. Then I also start looking at what recipes don’t take too much time to make, and read about meal prep and such, and find communities and websites. And then I look at local classes for learning how to cook, but they are way too expensive and I’m not sure whether they will be any good, etc…
And so I spend hours and hours researching all these things, but I never actually start cooking or go to the grocery store for ingredients.
I’m now feeling tired and have no energy to actually do any cooking anymore. And I just have no clue where to get started.
It seems like I’m stuck thinking of how to do something the best way possible, instead of actually trying something. But when I want to try something, I have no idea where to even start.
Anybody experience the same sometimes?
My strategy is to monetize the things I’m obsessed with doing and pay someone else to do the things I can’t force myself to do
I would love to have somebody cook for me at my home and show me how to make some good easy recipes. But I suppose that would be outrageously expensive. I try cooking myself to save money in the first place :/
I was mainly thinking of getting food that is mostly prepared already and/or eating out if the price is right.
Eating out can be nice, but it does not necessarily save any time. And often it feels like a choice between either an expensive meal or something rather unhealthy
