I Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day! I was able to spend the afternoon at UCLA medical center with my mom, dad & brother. We enjoyed sharing funny stories, some took naps, walked some laps around Trev's floor, & enjoyed quality time as a family.
Don't Be Afraid
"Food must be boring when you have restrictions"... is the most common statement I hear when asked about how I eat. Food is boring if you make it boring.
Food can be intimidating, if you are scared of the kitchen.
Food can be overwhelming, if you make it more difficult then it needs to be.
Food can be gross, if you don't follow a recipe.
Food can be tasteless, if you don't play with spices & herbs!
Do you SEE where I am going....
DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE KITCHEN & FOOD!!!
Yes, you will screw up 'SOME' of the meals you make... but you will learn from the mistakes you make. DON'T give up. Trial & error is the best slogan you can have when cooking in the kitchen.
Spices & herbs are your friend in the kitchen. They add so much flavor to any dish. HOWEVER, please DO follow the recipe or do your research when using them! When using spices & herbs... "a little goes a long way"
Trader Joe's sells crushed garlic & chopped basil in the freezer section.
They have 20 servings in each packages. 1 serving = 1 tsp
I LOVE using them when I sauté veggies & sausages!
They are gluten free and vegan. They are inexpensive and easy to store in the freezer.
They have chopped cilantro (& maybe 1 other) for sale also at Trader Joes! For someone who is busy trying to make healthy meals with yummy flavor... these can make life a little easier!
Enjoy the kitchen & all the many spices, herbs, & foods!!
