Throughout the years I’ve learned to appreciate things that are handmade or DIY and cooking is certainly something I feel that falls within those categories. Yet, the lack of home-cooked meals I make has been sort of an enigma. Of course it’s also a little more challenging when you’re also working towards losing weight (17.8 lbs lost so far and counting). And although I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions, I really wanted to make an effort to cook more in 2010. It’s not that I can’t cook. In fact as a teen, my mother would compliment my cooking whenever I would prepare dinner for our family (so my mom could have a break every now and then).
I’m not sure if the cooler temperatures have sparked my urge to want to cook, but tonight I actually couldn’t wait to get home and dive into the kitchen. Although, I confess I’m still not a huge fan of cleaning up afterward.
Who knows, maybe my resolution will be easier to keep than I initially thought.
