I absolutely need a list, but have outsourced making that list to my partner. Without the list I would forget at least 1 or 2 items.

I find it really difficult up to the point of stress inducing to think of stuff to cook, especially if it would be multiple days.

We have a food delivery service that delivers fresh ingredients for several meals once a week. That's my rescue.

I'm not an intuitive cook, I have to follow a recipe. But slowly getting better, more intuitive, after years of cooking.
