How to cook more
It made me
om nom nom!
 "Cooking for myself at home has become a really great way for me to enjoy the few nights a week that I am not busy-- it's a great way to unwind and find some peace of mind during a crazy work week."
How I did it: I decided that I spend way too much money buying food outside of my house while I'm on the go. I made a real effort to buy more groceries on a daily basis-- as I walked by markets on my way to and from work-- so that I could have fresh ingredients for whatever food I was craving that day. Before I knew it I realized that the foods I made at home were much more satisfying and less expensive than the easy foods I would grab each day for lunch, or on the way home for a quick dinner. Now stopping by the fruit and vegetable stand is a part of my routine, and I get excited to find new simple recipes to make each week. Lessons & tips: Don't convince yourself that you don't have the time or energy to cook a good meal-- once you realize that you can make great food fast, you'll be stoked to do it more often. Also, having friends that you can cook with/for is a great way to get yourself into a routine of making meals at home, as well as a great source for sharing recipes.

How I did it: What it took for me to start cooking more was:1) Moving into a student housing cooperative where I had 24/7 access to a fully stocked industrial sized kitchen and could experiment and cook absolutely anything for students who were grateful to have a hot meal they didn't have to cook for themselves.2) A great boyfriend who loves anything I cook for him and is incredibly easy to please. I love feeling like little Betty Homemaker in hi… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Well, I moved into a new place that had a kitchen. This was a major step, because I just couldn't eat microwave dinners often.Once I had the kitchen, I went and bought a bunch of supplies for my own personal 'starter kitchen'. I bought a bunch of herbs and spices, oil, lemon juice, flour, sugars, etc. This is the most pricey part, but once you have it, no need to refill for quite some time.The first week was the hardest,… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Well, I've been living in apartments so cooking has been pretty necessary. I still eat a fair amount of frozen meals but I also cook and bake a lot. Especially bake. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Ok so I'm starting from the position of seriously having cooked about twice in 6 months so I really only CAN cook MORE. However, my lovely boyfriend (possibly from self preservation) booked me onto a day's cooking course at the Veggie Kitchen with the brilliant, gentle, and gifted Joyti. You go along to her house and can pick from a wide range of receipes you want to learn. Just seeing her in action - making things simple and logical and … Read how I did it…

How I did it: I heard about e-mealz.com on the Dave Ramsey program, and used the promo code "Dave" to get a discount. Even without the discount, a subscription was only $5 / month, so it was pretty cheap as it was.They give you a shopping list, which is extremely cheap, because they base it on the sales of the week at the store of your choosing.Then, you have 5 - 7 meals each week. Quick meals, crock pot meals, low-fat meals, etc. A l… Read how I did it…

I was going to, then I realised I had no food, went shopping, now I have food but its a bit late and I cannot be bothered anymore…. I’m guessing it’ll have to be tomorrow now but I think I will go and make lunch for tomorrow!!!

However, I can be slightly lazy and I live on noodles! I’m going to try to start to cook more when I have an evening to myself. I would also like to make lunches and things as oppose to living off macdonalds if I’m not in the house.
I used to cook all the time and I was pretty good. When I lived in spain I cooked pretty much every day, things that took hours too. Now I mostly just toss something on the grill or buy food. I guess it was easier there because I had so much time on my hands and the grocery store was practically in my building. It also helped that my apartement was only one room, so the kitchen/living room were the same place so I was always around the stove. Im also really good at baking, but I dont do it much anymore. I dont know why, I think just because Im lazy. Anyways, I want to start cooking more again, its relaxing and the food’s way better than what ive been eating.
Hestia74 is in a state of thanksgiving...
Well, I’m definitely cooking more than when I listed this goal, so I’ll check it off as done, and list a more specific goal, like cook at least 4 meals at home a week…
I went through all my zillions of recipe books and marked the yummy looking recipes. Once a week I’ll pick something, and eat it for a few days, maybe freeze it. Cooking for one sucks!
Today i made for fist time “Cocido.” It’s a beef broth with vegetables and the tail of the cow. My mom always do that in a big pot and all the family go to her home and eat and have a good time. My kitchen smell like my mom’s house today!! That feels and taste good. :)
I need to get in the habit of cooking daily for at least a month. This will get me in that rhythm of cooking whenever I can..(and save money too!)
I made almond chicken and i use shiitake mushrooms for the first time they are smelly but the food was a success!
