FEW people can claim that they are a domestic goddess in the kitchen, with many of us relying on the same recipes for the majority of our meals.<\/p>\n

If you want to banish mid-week food boredom though, there is a surprisingly simple way you can mix up your meals.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

For those feeling guilty about their lack of culinary expertise, you aren\u2019t the only one.<\/p>\n

A new study by McCain\u2019s found that over half of adults struggle with midweek meals, with 60 per cent of adults admitting that they eat the same dinner four times a week. \u00a0<\/p>\n

It seems that we are doomed from the start though, with over 38 per cent of 18-24 year olds surveyed saying that they didn\u2019t plan their meals before popping to the shops.<\/p>\n

Shockingly, almost half of respondents (aged 35 and under) also confessed to not knowing what to cook before checking the cupboards after work.<\/p>\n

Having a quick look online didn\u2019t seem to inspire home cooks either, with a third of the 2,000 people surveyed watching cookery videos but never trying the recipes for themselves.<\/p>\n

Though a lack of planning and inspiration won\u2019t help the boring mid-week meals, it is also damaging our bank balance too.<\/p>\n

Fed up of our repetitive meals, it is easy to indulge in a takeaway during the week which often leaves many of us feeling guilty afterwards \u2013 as confirmed by 21 per cent of those surveyed.<\/p>\n

Unless you are Nigella Lawson though, most of us won\u2019t want to spend our lives cooking.<\/p>\n
