For me, seeing the food transform into something delicious is the fun part. Experimenting with different flavors is fun too.

Obviously if you're too lazy to cut things and clean up then cooking is not for you.

Depends what you're eating, but some veggies can be prepped out and stored for the week. It cuts down the time it takes during the week to throw a meal together.
I also like to cook a couple of cups of grains or beans and have them ready to heat up, just add a bit of water if it seems dry.
Cooking is a lot of work, but it's fun playing with colors, flavors, and textures.

Sweet are the fruits of your own labor, OP.

Also, try making larger recipes and having leftovers rather than putting all that effort into one meal.

I know, I kind of shut down my brain or go into automatic mode while doing the MEP, also cooking is only fun when you are creating something, modifying it or making it for someone else, also when is something challenging, tough nailing it is more fulfilling than fun.

No one is forcing you to cook.
Buy the precooked stuff and pay double. It's a free country.

>put on some good music
>take the time to prepare everything correctly
>everything is convenient and in reach
>clean as you go so you never get overwhelmed
>enjoy the act of creating something
>sit down and savor what you made
it's to help you unplug from bullshit, like watching a movie, playing a video game, reading a book, etc.

alternate ending
>make a big batch of stuff instead of just one dinner
>portion it out for later
>simultaneously unwind while you cook and ensure you won't have to spend time and money on food later

slow down and try to enjoy the journey, op

I enjoy the process. Same way serious car enthusiasts enjoy fixing shit on their 60 year old classic.
