Whether you’re a kitchen newbie or a pro chef, I’ve found these seven strategies make a solid foundation to start a revolution – a fun one, at that – in your kitchen.
- Change your mind about cooking. When you view cooking an act of love that you share with your family, you strengthen bonds, teach important life-extending skills to your children, and enrich and nourish your bodies and your souls.
- Keep staples nearby. Foods like nuts and nut butters, non-dairy milks are all hidden gems in the middle aisles of the store. Thrive Market makes a great place to buy these and other quality staples, delivered to your door, at 25 to 50 off retail prices.
- Choose frozen. While fresh foods in the produce aisles are ideal, frozen berries, vegetables, and other foods make longer-lasting alternatives. You can stock up and have on hand in your kitchen for healthy, easy meals when you can’t get to the market or these items are out of season.
- Reclaim your kitchen. Establish your kitchen as the ground-zero family meeting place and establish it exclusively for cooking and socializing.
- Re-evaluate your time. Time is the biggest excuse why many of my patients don’t cook. Keep a journal for one week to monitor your time. You might be surprised at how you spend your time.
- Make mistakes. If you’re new to cooking or your skills have gotten rusty, don’t aim for perfection with your first recipe—aim for experimenting and practicing. Start with one of my more basic recipes with few ingredients and work your way up to something more complex.
- Get everyone involved. Enlist help from family members—drag your kids away from their video games and ask them to measure ingredients, pull food from the fridge, or even chop veggies if they’re ready to take on this task. Decide on meals together to get everyone excited about what’s in store.
