It’s one of life’s insurmountable challenges that food is so necessary and enjoyable, but that it takes such effort to cook it. While we can survive on takeout and pre-processed goods, it’s not exactly the healthiest and most sustainable option. I hate to admit it, but I feel a lot better in myself when I properly meal prep instead of surviving on oven pizza and Hot Pockets.

As we all know, this is where cooking skills come in very handy. You don’t have to be a genius to make dinner, you just a little patience and the ability to follow a recipe. It helps to get your head in the game, which is where cooking memes can help. They understand no matter if your exploits in the kitchen are a triumph or a failure. They also happen to be a very convenient way to procrastinate actually making any kind of food.
