Hate to cook?  Give it another chance!

When I am in the kitchen preparing a meal, I do just that, I prepare the meal.  In other words, my focus is on exactly what I am doing.  I have a grateful and positive attitude while I cook.

Why am I grateful? 
Because...
  •  I have wholesome food
  • I have the chance to nourish myself and my family
  • I have the chance to improve upon my cooking skills
I keep a positive attitude because….
…it is what it is, I have to eat, and if I were to uphold a negative attitude, well…it wouldn’t be that fun.  Besides, if I feel overwhelmed, I usually enlist some help.
The trickiest part to getting a healthy meal to the table…
….is actually having the right ingredients on hand.  So let’s start there.
The old saying “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail,” holds true when it comes to meal planning.
Here’s my approach…..

1.       Pull one, two or three favorite healthy cookbooks out.  I peruse through them to pick some easy dinner meals that I would like to cook for the week.  I only choose three or four.

2.       After I choose my meals, I write down the ingredients that I will need to purchase.  I also make note of the page the recipe is on, so I don’t forget what I will be cooking.

3.       Included on my list are the stand-by foods that my family likes for breakfast, lunches and snacks and other things that my pantry might be low on.

4.       I shop from the shopping list.

Dinner is ready!
Remember the most important ingredient is attitude!  Change you views on cooking, and you might discover a new passion.

    It's a blog...

    I am a fanatic when it comes to uncovering the truths and the falsities to sound nutrition and good health. When we use a little common sense we can back up anything, yet there is always room for debate.
    Exploring within the realms of your own interpretation is a beautiful thing.
