Do you have “cooking fatigue”?

One of the positive things about the past few months is that we’re making more meals at home…it’s helping up to save money at a record rate.

But…we’re getting a little bored with it, too!

A new poll found over half of us have “cooking fatigue”.

What’s causing it?

The prep work, the clean-up, the planning, the actual cooking and shopping for ingredients…so essentially ALL of it!

We’re cooking an average of nine meals a week and, in a perfect world, making a meal would take about 12 minutes total.

We’ve also made the same meal about 28 times since March!

On the flip side, half of us are also ordering more takeout and delivery than usual.
