cook more

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.

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 want to create. Food is art, and I want to eat.

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!

Not what you all think. Two weeks ago my mother came to my house and helped me cook dinners for a whole week. After cooking all we had planned, we froze everything, and the rest of the week I had dinner for my husband (except Friday, I couldn’t do practically anything that day since the baby had been crying his eyes out almost all day…)

I’d love to do something like this again, by myself, so at least I can assure dinner on the table every evening.

was the best experience ever.. i even grated a coconut in the old, traditional way :)

the next time i cook like that would hopefully be a place of my own (in the future) near the beach/sea..
