Russian term or phrase: настрекозила
контекст:
...Вот что меня в мужиках возмущает особенно - так это их беспримерный шовинизм. Мой любовник, сожитель, муж, наконец (правда, мы так и не расписаны) не думает о том, чтобы разделить мои интересы в сфере кулинарии или кройки и шитья, зато я обязательно должна разбираться в тонкостях спортивных состязаний. В различиях и схожести каких-нибудь байдарок и каноэ. Как, если стряпня и многочасовое торчание на кухне мне в кайф и являются смыслом жизни? Как, если бдения на Ленинградском рынке – это именно то, что доктор прописал? Центр проведения досуга, ага.

Но это все мелочи, потому что когда мой архитектор, наконец, отрывается от кульмана, он идет на кухню и с неприкрытым аппетитом начинает поглощать супчики и котлетки, которые я ему настрекозила. Слов нет - секс, конечно, штука приятная, но вот зрелище мужика, уминающего плоды твоих кулинарных медитаций - что сравнится?! За это можно все отдать, простить и даже отдаться...

Думая о разнице интересов двух людей, живущих вместе (пары, работающие в одной конторе, как, например, это произошло у моих родителей в рассчет не берем), я понимаю, что, на самом деле, "интерес" – это не та дефиниция, из-за которой стоит огород городить. И из-за которой, собственно говоря, мы и существуем в совместном полете.

…I whomped up for him like a busy bee.

настрекозила
to cook like Aunt Bee


Explanation:
У меня лично ассоциируется с образои пчелки: Как пчелка, заботливо и без устали творит у плиты котлетки и супчики
Если вы переводите для американской аудитории, то можно предложить такой вариант, поскольку персонаж Aunt Bee однозначно ассоциируется с исскусным приготовлением пищи, заботой накормить, в основном, мужских персонажей и в какой-то степени созвучностью со "стрекозным" началом глагола.
Aunt Bee was a character on the long-running 1960s American television sitcom The Andy Griffith Show and its successor program, Mayberry R.F.D.. Aunt Bee was played by actress Frances Bavier.

Aunt Bee was the aunt of Sheriff Andy Taylor in the small town of Mayberry, North Carolina. She served as housekeeper to the widowed Taylor and his young son, Opie. She was an excellent cook
