Am I the only one that hates to cook?

So Dave is on his way home today for a week off.  And It’s great to about to have him home but that means that I now have to entertain the idea of cooking again.  This summer has been wonderful as far as time in the kitchen.  I have not spent much time there!  The girls and I have been cleaning out our pantry and eating random simple meals.  But that never fly’s with the hubby. 

Here is my thing… I just can’t stand getting home from working part of my day and spending 2 hrs in the kitchen… preparing, cooking, eating it for 5 minutes and then cleaning it all up.  I’ve got so many better things to do with my 2 hrs.  I want to play with the kids, take a walk to the park, start a load of laundry.  I just don’t want to cook.  I have friends who are amazing cooks and love cooking.  I wish I could eat their meals every night of the week.  They love the whole process and are amazing at it.  I just can’t do it.  I fail every time and I don’t enjoy it.

So all that so say, Dave is coming home and on top of that his family is coming in town for a week.  I’m not sure how to break the news to all of them that I’m not cooking! 🙂

Have a great weekend everyone!

  1. I am with you girl! I HATE to cook too! I so wish I was one of those people that could whip up a great meal from nothing at all but…no such luck. I’ll just continue to suffer through! 🙂

  2. Amen sister!!! that’s not how I want to spend my evenings either. I dread the evenings because it means that I have to decide what’s for dinner. I would rather eat sandwiches and cereal for dinner! You’re not alone!

  3. i like to cook, but it’s usually REALLY simple meals… and i do it rarely because it’s hard to cook for just one person! ha!

    jamie would back you up on not cooking 110%!!

  4. Preach it, girl! I can’t stand to cook and I think it’s because my kids won’t eat anything I cook. It’s not that my cooking is bad (it’s actually good), they just like “kid food” and I don’t like to cook “kid food” all the time. I mean, they would eat chicken nuggets and mac & cheese every single meal of every single day!
    So, I’m on that boat with you and I wish you luck in staying out of the kitchen all next week!

  5. I hate cooking, too! I usually throw some frozen chicken and a can of simmer sauce into the crockpot at lunch, and it’s ready by dinner. If I forget to do that, chances are, we’re eating out.
