Every day (adverb) = occurring daily. "I get up and take a shower every day."
Everyday (adjective) = regular, basic, not special. "He completed his everyday chores before moving on to cleaning the gutters."
I did not think it was possible to be more annoying than OP's brilliant observation, but DCUM never disappoints.
This is important! People are idiots! I thank the language Lorax! Keep it coming.
Posting an inane, unsolicited grammar lecture in the middle of a thread about dinner prep is not something that needs to be "kept coming".

I know this will blow your mind (and OP's as well) but some of us...cook "big" meals some nights, and eat leftovers; and then we cook 20-30 minute meals on other nights. So it's like...a balance.
If you eat leftovers, then you are not “cooking fresh” every night. Mind blown.

Right because kids looooove leftovers.
I'm a WOH single mom and I cook everyday. I make enough for us to eat and I take leftovers for lunch the next day. The only day I don't cook is Friday night because pizza.
