1. Cooking is fun, and I like to eat delicious, debatably healthy food. Also, my wife hates cooking. She bakes sometimes, but the stove top is mine exclusively.

2. I plan meals out in the grocery store. Who knows what will catch your eye for a fun meal until you're right there looking at it. Grocery shopping is a weekly thing.

3. There are about a dozen meals in my arsenal that my wife loves, half of which my daughter will eat too. They're mostly typical American meals like chili, casseroles, burgers, and various pastas. So I cook those most often. Asian foods, particularly stir fry, are something I like to play with when I'm just cooking for me. Asian cultures have some amazing dishes from the simplest ingredients and procedures.

4. Diet? I don't understand why people without serious health issues diet. Eat what is delicious, in moderation.

5. I don't have any life hacks. Just prepare your ingredients before starting, try to time the steps for potential parallelization, and don't wander off without setting a timer. Those I hope are common sense, but many people don't seem to get it. Oh, and freeze just about everything for later. Freezers are underrated.



this is almost exactly the same as me - uncannily so. the asker should 2x all these data points in their tally.
