If you’re tired of thinking about dinner before the day is even over, you’re in the right place.
The Cooking Burnout Club is for those weeks when life feels full and cooking feels like too much. You still want food that tastes good and actually satisfies you, but long recipes, extra steps, and complicated plans are not it right now. These meals are built for real life, where dinner needs to happen without draining whatever energy you have left.
This weekly meal plan is designed for anyone who’s burned out, juggling a lot, and craving meals that feel doable instead of overwhelming. Expect simple ingredients, freezer and pantry shortcuts, and low-effort cooking that doesn’t require you to be fully “on” at the end of the day.
If you’ve ever stared into the fridge and immediately felt annoyed, consider this your permission slip to make dinner easier.
For Meal Plan 4, we’re keeping things flexible and comforting with easy dinners that work for busy weeknights and nights when you just want food on the table without making it a whole thing.
Here’s what we’re cooking this week
