Pati Jinich. Her pbs show, her books, her energy, just all wonderful food taught by a wonderful human. Check out her show Pati’s Mexican Table. Half food documentary, half cooking instruction and 100% joy. Even if you don’t like to cook, you will still learn a ton and she is just such a delight.
Im like you! A burrito wrapped on Sunday does not taste good on Wednesday, at all. Especially if ive already eaten said burrito days prior. Batch cooking helped me a ton! I’ve gotten in the habit of having batches of cooked grains/legumes in the fridge. Throwing together a bowl, salad or wrap with whatever veg or protein I have on hand is super quick. However, I know this is not exactly what some people want from meal prep since it’s not exactly just grab and go, but it literally takes 3 minutes or less to put together, so not a tall order. And on days I’m home or have some extra time, lunch is a soup or frittata/scramble or cakes (bean cakes are delish and easy af), and comes together in less than 10mins. My methods may not work for you but there are a ton of ideas out there around batch cooking, give it a look and I’m sure you’ll find some that resonate with you.
It’s crazy to think how much I legitimately laughed at those when they hit the internet. Salad fingers though, that def still holds up
No. Its more nuanced than this for sure. But intelligence is a massive part of personality. If someone is dumb, they are certainly not a 10 out of 10 in personality.
