WHAT TO EAT FOR DINNER WHEN YOU LACK INSPIRATION OR DON’T FEEL LIKE EATING I bet you can’t read through this list without striking a craving for something! I thought that it would be helpful if I shared the list here because there are over 50 ideas for easy things to eat when you are ambivalent about food/cooking.

I turned to Instagram and asked in a question box on my story, “what do you eat on nights when nothing sounds good + you don’t feel like cooking.” There was a night a few weeks ago where I was not only absent of inspiration and the motivation to cook but also any idea of what I was in the mood to eat. It’s been reassuring to know that I am not alone and that so many others are majorly lacking in cooking mojo right now. It is a newsflash to no one that I have been in a cooking rut recently.
