Doozie Tuesday #1

I taught kids how to cook. Then went home and ate crackers.

Here’s the truth bomb: I spent all day teaching high school students how to cook. Like, real food. Knife skills. Mise en place. Temperatures. Timers. Teamwork. The whole thing.

Then I’d go home and stare into my fridge like it was going to give me a hug.

There was food in there. I just didn’t want to deal with any of it.

By the time I got home, I had nothing left. No energy. No inspiration. Definitely no sauce. Just a sleeve of crackers, a spoonful of peanut butter, and a sprinkle of silent resentment.

The worst part? I knew exactly how to cook.

I just couldn’t.

So I stopped trying to be the Pinterest version of myself.

And I started building tools for the real version: the tired one, the overwhelmed one, the one who eats standing up.

That’s how the chaos meal grid, the emotionally unavailable food guide, and the no-recipe recipe book were born.

And now there’s a whole survival bundle for anyone else who opens the fridge and feels nothing.

Want next week’s mini-breakdown? It comes with coping strategies and probably carbs.⬇️ [Join the cult...oops I meant CLUB] XOX Susie
