One way in which I can tell that I am inching closer to a certain landmark adult birthday is that I get excited when I stumble upon a multipurpose recipe. A high protein meal that I can have with both pasta and rice as leftovers? Sign me up. While cooking can be a wonderful exercise in creativity, the reality is that most of us are doing it primarily for practical reasons. We've all gotta eat, and it is usually cheaper and healthier to do that by whipping something up in the kitchen than eating out or ordering takeout all of the time. Whether you enjoy the process or find it more of a chore, cooking memes have you covered when it comes to the humor of preparing food. Not every culinary experiment can be a success, but the upside is that you get to laugh about it with the humor of the internet.
