Susan hasn't been cooking lately.

It started when her son left for sleep away college & she had trouble recalculating how much food was needed to feed the remaining people in her house. 

Then her husband got sick & stopped eating. 

Even though her daughter still had to eat it was too late. Susan lost enthusiasm. 

She eventually had her fill of watching the daughter mope around looking for something substantial in a perpetually empty fridge. Susan promised to re-establish the basic tenancy of her maternal contract and make something for the kid to eat.
She started small. A rotisserie chicken became curried chicken salad followed by chocolate chip pancakes from scratch, not Bisquick.
She also made some pumpkin seed candy for company.
The End.
