The COVID-19 pandemic forced most of us to stay home and cook a lot more of our own meals this year. Many people are reporting feeling pretty burned out when it comes to cooking these days.

It's almost dinnertime again. I'm sick of cooking for myself and I'm also sick of takeout and actually the only thing that sounds good is for a freshly laundered man to cook me scallops with a side of risotto and greens and then sit across from me and ask me how I'm doing.

Isolation Journal Day 35:
Got tired of cooking, so I had Phil make me a bowl of popcorn for dinner. But I put butter on it: that’s dairy... And I washed it down with a glass of wine (fruit).
So I almost hit all the major food groups.

I'm not burned out from cooking but I'm burned out from recipe searching. If anyone has cookbook recommendations that you've actually made a lot of things out of, please send my way!

I’m so sick of cooking and feeding people. Is thinking of setting the kitchen on fire considered irrational?

I have reached dinner cooking burnout. I just haven’t cooked anything this evening. Kids will be hungry soon. Can’t do it, can’t cook. No idea what to make. I can’t make myself care about dinner anymore!

I’m so deathly tired of cooking meals. Just really, really over it. I hate cooking now and I used to like it. And every time I get asked “What’s for dinner?” I get a little murdery.

I am running out of cooking ideas. I’ve done meal prep for 17yrs and even I’m running out of ideas on what to make. I am burned out from all the grocery trips. When winter comes everyone in the house will dislike me because all I will want is soup. #pandemiclife
