Because I suck at it.

Because I usually get home after 8 and I just want to eat, not think about what to eat and then make it.

But that gets expensive, so sometimes I grocery shop and pretend I know what I’m doing. But I almost always mess something up. I claim to be the type that “doesn’t like to follow recipes,” but maybe I should.

Tonight’s disaster:

• kale sauteed in coconut butter
• baked sweet potato wedges
• rotisserie chicken

Why was this a disaster? The sweet potatoes were too dry and the coconut butter never really properly melted in my frying pan.

Any advice on how to stop sucking at cooking and start enjoying it?
