On My Mind :: Cooking

Cooking has been the first casualty of our busy summer.  I know how important it is for my family to eat a home cooked, whole foods, plant based diet.  I know that studies show that when we cook healthy food at home, we drop our likelihood of obesity.  I know that it is one of the very best things I can do for the planet.

Somehow I just need to get all those messages over to the motivation part of my brain so that I can make more food like this strawberry rhubarb pie with a nut crust (from the Clean Food cookbook).  I will be at the Farmer's Market this afternoon seeking inspiration.  Hopefully, one meal at a time, I will move my family back to what is best for us.

How do you get motivated to cook healthy, home-cooked meals?

Hello, it's nice to meet you..and I would like to add it took time, first I compiled a notebook of recipes of foods we love, from there I compiled a grocery list of all ingredients to make those recipes...over time I purchased all those ingredients for our pantry /stockpile..and even though this was weeks/months of work..in the end I can make from scratch/ cook any meal we enjoy...
Hope that helps...
~~HUGS~~

For us the motivation comes by our limited income these days. It costs so much less to cook from scratch and utilize ALL leftovers avoiding waste.

I menu plan week in and week out. If I don't things don't happen.
