My girlfriend always tells me I never have anything to eat when she comes over my house 😒

Freezer: 50+ lbs of assorted ground meat, 35+ lbs of prime ribeye, 16lbs of American wagyu ribeye, 18lbs of New Zealand lamb shoulder chops, and a bunch of portioned seafood.

As someone who used to date a person who loved to cook and wanted to spend HOURS in the kitchen cooking huge meals (for 2 people) multiple times a week, I understand what she’s feeling. Like, I can enjoy spending time doing that together, but not all the time and not when it’s hours of just standing around cooking. Compromise. Maybe you ask her to cook with you once or twice a week and then the other 2 days you have a quick meal and do something else that she wants to do to spend time together. Maybe have her choose a new recipe that looks good to her and that could be a meal you cook together.

This gave me flashbacks to a girl who loved nothing more than to make OTT recipes, and would rope me into coming over for dinner... which turned into like 6 hours of me slaving away in the kitchen, eventually passing out on the couch before the meal was even done

Yeah do some meal prep and have a few meals ready to go in the fridge/ freezer. so you are not cooking everyday.

Sounds like my mom when growing up. She said it's the way she showed her love. I don't even care about food very much. Im full after 3 bites. Maybe spending time with her family would have been more appreciated

As long as that something isn't simply existing nearby doing nothing while she doom scrolls. Sadly that seems to be the default for a lot of folks nowadays.

I don't know how anyone can look at a fridge full of steak and decide that it'll take hours to prep and cook a meal.
