I’m Sam, and despite years of cooking and recipe creation, I’ve navigated a full year of personal burnout recently. My evening meals often simplified to Greek yogurt topped with strawberry jam for extended periods, or just scrambled eggs paired with a toasted bagel when I had slightly more drive. I craved diversity once more, but recognized I couldn’t tackle lengthy recipes or prolonged stovetop sessions. This inspired the Cooking Burnout Club—a supportive space to embrace time-savers, eliminate remorse, and revive comforting, tasty meals that work even when energy reserves are low.
