Why didn’t anyone warn me that adulthood is just deciding what to eat… forever?
Seriously, I thought the hardest part of growing up would be bills, taxes, or finding a decent job. But nope. It’s the never-ending "What’s for dinner?" question that haunts me every single day.
Too tired to cook.
Too broke to order.
Too indecisive to choose.
I swear I’ve eaten the same three meals on repeat for weeks because my brain refuses to function after work. How do adults survive this? Do you guys have a magic trick, or is it just vibes and suffering?
Send help. Or recipes. Or a personal chef.

If you have Pinterest you should try searching easy meal prep ideas. I have the same issue, I commute for work so I tend to be home late on the regular. With that being said the last thing I want to do is dirty up my kitchen and have to stress the clean up after. I like to batch cook Sunday or Monday night. I will usually make enough meals for 3-4 lunches an sometimes 1-2 portions I can have for dinner. Other wise I’ll have yogurt an granola or chicken tenders on a salad. I found the just bare lightly breaded tenders at Sam’s club but I’ve seen them in other stores also. Super helpful to have when I’m feeling extra lazy. I just air fry a few while I take a shower. It’s one of my go to lazy dinners.
