Yes!
I said to my husband the other day that when ever I signed up to be the one to decide, shop for, prep and cook every meal everyday I’d like to unsign 😂

I plan meals a week in advance and order everything I need for each meal to be conveniently delivered to my front door. Sometimes I reach a mental block and just have no ideas, that's when my husband is consulted. I enjoy cooking, I enjoy eating my own cooking, I like knowing a plan in advance and I also enjoy being in control lol so the fact I have to do it myself is honestly a good thing for everyone 😂

I make my teen kids and my husband pick a meal, tell me what they need for it(after they see if we have the ingredients already), and cook one meal a week. Which leaves me with 4. Which is more manageable than 7.

It’s okay to order in sometimes. And I right everything down. I also prefer to shop every couple of days for fresh ingredients from local farmers markets so that helps with the remembering part of what we’re out of. Especially being pregnant, I can plan to cook something and change my mind completely when the time comes. Gotta do what works for you and your mental
