cook more at home

i think i will be able to do this more this year after i quit my id job..
will prepare dinner at least 2 times a week.

make breakfast every morning.

i shld pack lunch from home..

i bought rice, some veg and fish to ccok porridge for dinner tmw! yeAH, its my first time cooking porridge.. i hope it will turn out well..

then i will venture into chicken porridge.. would love to do that for the weekends.

1. learn to cook porridge for dinner

if we have 2 meals a day, it would add up to 14 meals a week.
I would like to cook a minimum of 8 meals a week to consider this goal accomplished.

- last week 28/09/08, i cooked 2meals. hopefully this week i will do better.

In order to make this goal I have to cook a dinner at least 5 nights each week. I’ll have to do more crockpot cooking or do preparations on the weekend.

Being a single father life is difficult and finding a balance of work, kids & social life is a major goal in itself. Making dinner will provide time to have them help and bring us together at the table (or coffee table).

I made rhubarb crisp for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Tried it again last weekend. I can now say that I’m good at making rhubarb crisp. :) I think I’ll add oatmeal to the crisp part next time.

Cooking at home is definitely a big money saver. I’ve been following recipes from my many cookbooks, but I’m now at the point where I can improvise my own recipes. They usually turn out pretty well!

I actually prepared things for this. Obviously, the cucumber mint tea sandwiches didn’t require cooking, but I slapped them together. The meatballs turned out well, but I loved the baked brie. Who knew it was so easy? Must make that again…
