My husband wants me to cook. This may sound chauvinistic but, I'm with him. I want to cook. When I was single my daily meals would consist of coffee, fancy cheese, wine, peas and dark chocolate. Not quite what I should be feeding my son. I want to be the kind of Mom who provides healthy meals for her family. I want to be the kind of person that knows her way around a kitchen. I love creating and cooking is another extension of creating. Here's the problem, I kind of suck at it. And by "kind of" I mean completely. Having no idea where to start my culinary adventure, my husband gave me some great advice. He said, just find 5 meals that you can master and build from there. So, I did just that and I can happily say, I've moved past 5 meals. It was tough in the beginning, but it's getting easier to wing it or prepare something in 30 minutes. When I started out I had to plan the night before and I'd worry about it all day. While I am hardly a master chef, I'm sucking a little less at cooking.
A few of my meals so far! It's quinoa heavy, but you've got to start somewhere, right?
Pistachio crusted Tilapia, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, and Quinoa.
Gluten-free, banana, blueberry pancakes from scratch.
Beats, spinach, chickpea quinoa with tahini mustard dressing.
Vegan, gluten-free, chocolate cupcakes w/ avocado and chocolate frosting.
Bananacado! Banana and avocado baby food.
Steamed broccoli with hemp seeds and lemon.
Cheesy, sriacha quinoa and brussels sprouts (can you tell I like quinoa?)
No more cereal for dinner, maybe.
