I love to cook and I love to bake! Unusual I know as most people prefer one over the other. I love to bake when I am stressed and I love to cook and try new recipes when I have guests over. Also a no no as you are not meant to “experiment” on guests. But hey, why not I say!
I love the website www.avocadopesto.com. It is loaded with wonderful recipes to suit every tastes, ranging from vegan to carnivore. You can bet that I will be making this 4 ingredient pumpkin gnocchi!
For something sweet, I am loving The Big Man’s World. Tons of delicious, simple recipes using limited ingredients but such a great alternative to processed baked goods.His bars and bites are truly amazing and will have any healthy sceptic eating their words!
Over the years, my recipes have changed somewhat to a healthier alternative to what I used to make, but I will still make the old favourite on occasion. The beauty of the internet is that we really have no excuse to find good healthy recipes to make as there is just so much available online and on Pinterest and even on Instagram. Everything is easily accessible and when you cook and bake you control what you put in and how big the portions are.You know where the ingredients come from and you get to choose what to make and how to make it. It is a wonderful way to expand your horizons in the taste department. Baking and cooking helps you to :
- keep you focused on the task at hand
- stops you from thinking about anything else that might be occupying your mind.
- It involves stimulating your senses and making you aware of what you are eating .
- By working from scratch creating food also helps you appreciate the finished product more.
- great way to include your kids and teach them great habits.
Take your time to eat using your senses and savoring the fresh flavours. Let you senses have a party in your mouth!
Like exercise ,baking and cooking is something that you have to enjoy. The key is finding something that you love to do. So be creative and start with a simple recipe and take it from there.
