If you are new to cooking...are on a tight budget....or hate cooking in general...you may not know where to start. Here are my tried and true tricks to keep me in the kitchen and out of the drive thru!
First....PLAN>PLAN>PLAN!!! I can't emphasize this enough! Most of my motivation for staying on track with healthy, homecooked meals comes from planning ahead! Just knowing what to cook, and when to cook it, is 3/4 of the battle! Look for cooking ahead & freezing tips within the recipes here.
Second...Shop ahead...and stock up! I'm always stocked with certain staples...see my post titled "My Pantry Staples and Kitchen Tools List". With these relatively few items I not only feed my family well, but I could feed unexpected company, an army of teenagers, or a sick friend's family with an hour's notice.
Third...Proper kitchen tools will make your cooking life a whole lot easier. I can't live without mine. The right tools are essential for doing any job well!
