Edible doesn't mean tasty. Sometimes it's a pile of mush that you can only choke down enough to quell stomach rumbling. Most of it goes to compost, which isn't the best use of resources.

That said, I only order delivery when I'm too sick to cook nor drive but the kids still need to be fooded. Otherwise I'll heat something at home or pick up my own damn carryout.

  • Brown 1lb sausage.
  • Add 2 tbsp butter and melt.
  • Add heaping 3 tbsp flour.
  • Mix and cook for 3min on med.
  • Add about 3" milk.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring to boil.
  • Add biscuits to oven at 350 for 10 min.
  • Reduce to medium and stir every few minutes.
  • Done in 30 min.

This will be some of the best biscuits and gravy you've ever had. That's a least one solid meal to add to your recipe book.

You want to watch my kids while I do all that prep and stirring?

Considering the cost of babysitting, it would be much cheaper to buy a $10 heat-and-eat from the supermarket.

30 min?

Dont act like you're the only parent out there. I, and pretty much everyone else, manages fine.

If you didn't learn to cook at your mother's knee, it's a skill that has to be learned as an adult. Which makes the mental load of it much higher. Every meal takes more deliberate effort and is less likely to actually be consumed. Which is discouraging.

Just cook this doesn't require a Freudian analysis.
