picky eater and learning to like to cook

[Guest guest]

I use to hate to cook too till I started watching the food network and

learned so many things.

 

I actually love cooking now.

 

When my daughter has softball games and they ask me to run the consession

stand, they

 

Ask me to cook.

 

Although its fried hamburgers and hot dogs

 

Makes sick I have to cook that and think of the cholesterol that these

people are taking

 

In eating this stuff.

Uhura,

Cooking is fun and so easy. Best of all you get to eat great food when you

cook and bake for yourself. It is well worth any effort.

 

Growing up I learned to cook a variety of local fresh veggies in simple

delicious ways. Not overcooked. My mom was a nurse and many of the fellow

nursing staff had husbands that were farmers and we got to go pick lots of

fresh produce after the fields had been picked for the market. My mom didn

t make any casseroles, or out of the ordinary veggies. We were raised

vegetarian and enjoyed the many Worthington/Loma Linda meat substitutes.

Those are so amazing, quick to use, versatile and delicious.

 

When I got out on my own, I started buying cookbooks and drooling over those

recipes and ones in magazines and the food section of the newspaper. I cut

out recipes from magazines and newspapers and put them in a photo albums to

preserved them.

 

Once I started cooking recipes from cookbooks and those I had clipped, I

realized what a wonderful world of taste was at my finger tips if I

cooked/baked and that is where the true love of cooking came. You limit

your taste buds and yummy food to eat, when you don't cook. That would be a

shame. Cooking and baking are very easy. My 14 & 17 old daughters say that

too and can't imagine why anyone wouldn't like it or do it.

 

Now that you've joined this group, you've got wonderful tried and true

vegetarian recipes at your finger tips in our recipe files. http://groups

Just start making a menu from it

and you'll be hooked. It is an evolving process that you feel more and

more enjoyment, pride and enjoy branching out and trying things prepared in

new and many different ways.

 

Retrain those taste buds to not be picky. You've got to many health

delicious vegetarian foods out there than to deprive yourself of them.

 

Have fun and use that kitchen,

Judy

picky eater and learning to like to cook

 

 

 

I'm a picky eater and hate cooking. But I see the pictures or

descriptions of recipes and some look so good.

 

How do I make myself like cooking? Did liking it come naturally for

all of you or is there anyone else that had to teach themself to like

doing it?

 

Thanks,

Uhura
