Went from never cooking to feeding my family every weeknight

Five years ago I couldn't make anything besides cereal and sandwiches. Divorced guy, eating takeout constantly, spending way too much money. Then my kids came to stay with me full time and everything changed. Learned from YouTube videos, some trial and error, asking my mom for recipes. Now I do meal prep on Sundays and actually cook real dinners. My oldest asked for my pasta carbonara recipe last week. Never thought I'd be that guy. Miss the lazy days but gained so much more.

This is incredible man. From cereal to weeknight dinners is a huge jump. What were some of your first meals that actually turned out decent?

Real talk, this is awesome. I went through something similar and cooking became therapy. Plus the kids think you're basically a chef now.

That's such a real transformation. Divorce forced me into the kitchen too. Now I actually enjoy cooking for my daughter on my weeks. It's become our thing.

Took me way too long to realize that feeding them well actually matters more than I thought. You're crushing it.
