Make the kitchen a healing space

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT BUT YOU EAT WHAT YOU SHOP

February 22, 2015 · Uncategorized · Leave a Comment

Every food you buy and bring into the house will end up in your or your family’s stomach, that’s a fact! Eating mindfully starts with shopping mindfully. My first tip is to take a moment just before you hit the cashier point to reflect on your shopping trolly because that’s what you’re going to eat in the next few days. If your cart is full of fresh, colourful, vibrant produce, great! If it’s loaded with boxes and packages, hmmmm….. You are feeding on highly processed food. This is revealing and confronting at the same time.
Get well organised with shopping, make a basic weekly list and leave some room for seasonal produce. Choose very carefully where you shop for food (I try to stay away from big supermarkets) and above all, do not go shopping when you’re hungry!

Scan your cart to reflect on what goes into your body!

MY WEEKLY TIP

COOKING CRISIS

 

Staring at the open fridge

Staring at the open fridge

Have you ever found yourself staring at your open fridge or larder, scanning the products and ingredients and have absolutely no idea what to make with them, or what do you feel like eating?
And what if this situation repeats itself again and again over a period of time?
Well, you are experiencing a ‘cooking crisis’. It happens to the best of cooks!
Here are some key strategy solutions to over come the crisis:
1. Go back to basics, opt for the most simple recipes that always work.
2. Make a list of your all time favourites and stick to them for some time till you feel creativity is crawling back.
3. Focus on one ingredient you have or feel like eating and look for recipes using it as the main ingredient.
4. Think of what type of dish you feel like eating; soup, salad, burgers, pie etc. and look for a recipe for that.
5. Cook together with friends and family or initiate potluck dinners. Sharing cooking and eating with others can inspire you and boost your creativity in the kitchen.
