From tenderloin to the more ordinary. I’m making mac and cheese with a salad tonight.
Shepherd’s pie tonight with leftover mashed potatoes and ground turkey.
I went to Trader Joe’s today for the first time in at least 3-4 weeks. I decided to take a night off from cooking and bought frozen meatballs and a jar of TJ’s spaghetti sauce. I almost never buy sauce since it’s so easy, and sooooo much better, to make homemade sauce but I decided to be lazy tonight. We also always make our own meatballs and keep a huge bag in the freezer but we used them up last week. With ground beef rather scarce, I decided storebought it is for tonight. I will make a nice salad and we have a homemade loaf of sourdough bread that Dh made yesterday.
Mac and cheese is DS#2’s comfort food. So in honor of his birthday tomorrow, we had it for lunch.
Thanks for all the great tenderloin recipes. Cut 4 priced off the end for filets, and mixed a combo of recipes here (didnt have the full jar of teriyaki sauce so couldn’t do that one 
) and its in the oven.
Can anyone enlighten me on the difference between regular bread yeast and pizza dough yeast?
I’m getting tired of cooking. Been getting takeout for lunch and cooking dinner. Grilled chicken tonight, rice and a vegetable.
No kidding! I am tired of making three full meals a day… have no idea how we managed back in BC times (before Covid) with sandwiches and leftovers packed for lunch at work! 
My biggest beef is dishes. The D/W does a run every day. Used to be once every two days… it is all that daytime coffee and tea and dang lunch dishes! Me thinks there will be a run on dishwashers at the end of this Covid era. Whilpool says they already sold every freakin’ freezer…
Making chicken soup with leeks today. It’s snowing out (!) so a good soup day.
Need to do a pass through my fridge and make sure I’ve got everything either used on time or moved to freezer. As soon as I finish my coffee.
I’m sick of cooking, too @deb922 and found myself in an irritable mood yesterday.
Tonight is Crockpot Chicken Parmaggia (so?). Never done it before, we will see!
I’m with the rest of you getting tired of cooking. We will have takeout tonight. Tomorrow both D’s are doing a mother’s day brunch for me on the back deck where we can socially distance. D2 is making a white sangria which I plan to enjoy all day!
I’m making mac and cheese tonight, too. Using the Skinnytaste Skinny Broccoli Mac and Cheese recipe (recipe not on line, but you can find similar).
Add me to the sick of cooking crew. At this point in life, I had reached the “I love to cook when I want to cook, not when I have to cook” tipping point prior to the coronavirus. Now, while breakfast is each person for themselves, I feel the need to provide lunch food (if not a specific meal) and my every 10-day shopping trips result in up to 10-12 bags of groceries to feed this crew. But, enough on that.
The chicken Milanese I made last night was delicious and there are leftovers for lunch. I added some finely grated parmesan to the panko and it was crispy and delicious. I made an arugula, tomato and red onion salad for me and a tray of her favorite roasted tomatoes for my D. Tonight may be takeout and the kids want to cook for Mother’s Day, though I’d be happy with a great grilled cheese sandwich. Not sure if any of the posters on this thread are dads (so apologies if you are), but Happy Mother’s Day to the moms among us cooking for our families!
Glad to hear I have company.
I thought if I’m tired of cooking, at least I’m not like @runnersmom and cooking for a huge crew! Sorry @runnersmom! I hope you have a great Mother’s Day weekend
@conmama let us know how that crockpot chicken parm turns out…
D2 has been home for a month-ish and is heading back tomorrow to her grad school apt. I will be cooking as much, but more simply when she leaves. Though I’m a little weary of churning out recipes, she loves trying new things and has said numerous times that she feels like she “lived like a queen” being home and being cooked for much of the time (she also cooks) - so really, that comment made the effort worthwhile.
But this week I’ll be fully operating more on the “one meal prep = 2 nights worth of dinner” mode. 
My kids wanted to do a part in-person, part virtual Mother’s Day dinner last night. We ordered an array of Lebanese food and D2 picked up an amazing tiramisu many layered cake - it was all delicious and a nice low key “celebration” which is right up my alley.
Husband got in the habit of bottomless pots of soup or stew while he was working and living out of state. Up here I build the base and he adds to it over several days. He gets some variety – I’m happy with a small rotation – and I don’t have to come up with something new every single night.
I am finding lunches the most challenging with my D home. Honestly, when she’s not home my husband and I rarely have lunch. Often we have a late breakfast, maybe a snack and then dinner. My D tends to eat smaller, more frequent meals. I enjoy cooking but get sick of the dishes and don’t want to make a huge fuss multiple times a day. I often plan dinners that I know my D will like as leftovers for lunch the next day just to simplify things. D does like to cook and helps a lot but it’s harder for her when her classes are really in full swing.
Over the weekends we eat out a lot more. Tonight we want to try a BBQ food truck nearby we’ve been hearing about. Then on Mother’s Day my D is making crepes for breakfast and for dinner we are getting Paella from a local Spanish Restaurant and making churros since we were supposed to be leave for Spain that day.
Breakfast and lunch are “fend for yourself” in my home. Plenty of things to choose from but I’m not cooking it for you.
I love cooking, but I also feel like I am running out of creative ideas. My H is still an enthusiastic cook, but he does less of the cleanup! I now include “time it will take to take to cleanup” in my menu decisions.
Dinner last was pretty easy cleanup but a bit time consuming—from the SeriousEats website: extra rampy ramp risotto! Really good. Whole Foods had ramps the other day!
Same.
Last night I made salmon cakes and a roasted cauliflower and spiced chick peas with tahini and lemon salad. Two new (to me) recipes-both are keepers.
Tonight is takeout from the Indian restaurant and I made a key lime pie for dessert.
Thank you!
