I almost always have a problem with cooking in general. The main issue is that most of the foods that I like to eat are not general things I can cook quickly (or I am just extremely lazy, likely the latter), or, I make too much of one food that I cannot eat it all before it expires. This Saturday, I noticed that five pounds of beef were in my fridge that were going to expire within a couple of days, so I decided to make five one pound burgers for me and some friends for the game. Which was okay, aside from the fact we were eating 1,000 calories for breakfast. Or another time, I decided to make 20 lbs of jambalaya because I didn't want to cook for two weeks, but at the end of the first week, I was tired of jambalaya.
This generally isn't the worst of problems, because my roommate eats the jambalaya. It is also a problem because it happens somewhat irregularly, but the other consequence of this is that when I don't want to cook, I'll just eat out. This is bad for both health and finances, as I am eating at Braum's 5-7 times per week.
Moving forwards, I would like to get better at small scale cooking, such as a nightly or bi-nightly spaghetti, or chicken that I could eat for one or two nights overall. I think this would be good for me because it is smaller scale, thus, I do not need to eat the same meal for 50 times within a couple of weeks, and I can also go through a different amount of healthy foods and reduce the amount of money that I am spending.
Overall, I am hoping to get better at food in general, and I really think that the different amount of food options that I have can help that process.

Thank you so much for sharing this! It’s so very relatable- I just have to switch out Braums for Sonic and it’s me 100%. The 1000 calorie burgers had me cracking up! The food level of adulating is definitely sometimes a struggle, and I wish you the best of luck in your future food-making endeavors (but hey, if it doesn’t work out you probably have jambalaya, right?)
