[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op your list sounds like “medium effort”, when I “just can’t “ we order delivery, tonight was one of those nights, so pizza night![/quote]

Was thinking same. Those are normal meals for us. A no effort/just can’t  is ordering in or tossing a pbj or Lunchable on table for kid with random fruit; and hummus and tortilla chips for me. [/quote]

I have recently been coming to terms with expectations because my mother is a great cook and can make anything work from random stuff and my grandmother was a SAHM who legitimately served 3 courses for dinner. There was always a salad entrée and dessert. EVERY NIGHT. It was sometimes really simple or other nights took the whole day. She had been cooking for 40 years and had six kids. So a grilled cheese and soup would end up being grilled cheese on sourdough toasted with tomatoes and homemade chicken dumplings or tomato soup that was from the freezer plus a salad if you didnt like soup. So what I grew up with is definitely what people considered a labor intensive meal. Both my mom and grandmother could make anything taste good, whereas, I feel like I have to put in real effort.
