Healthy Ranch Dressing
Because I need to get my life together and I need to do it with little time. Welcome to my new project, getting us all back into the kitchen (and hopefully enjoying it)!
Here’s the thing.
I’ve fallen off the bandwagon of cooking nourishing meals.
I blame the COVID lockdowns for burning me out of cooking. It was also a weird season when I just stopped being able to figure out what actually sounded good to eat.
I was left with two of the worst-case scenarios when it came to cooking nourishing meals.
I didn’t feel like cooking.
Nothing sounded good, even though I was hungry.
Have you been here?
Questioning what to cook when you don’t feel like cooking?
And bringing up COVID has me panicking that it’s really been three (cough, four) years since I found joy from cooking. Man, I hope not.
But if you ask my kids, it’s probably more true than I want to believe.
Needless to say, I have been craving the art of making homemade foods again.
In the last year, I’ve really started to change my view of what it means to nourish my family and myself. Nourishing actually increases the feminine parts of me that help me relax and feel fulfilled. I will dive into this more on the podcast in a few months.
Cooking helps heal and nourish the feminine energy.
**Trust me, I know how that sounds, and I don’t mean to ruffle any feathers. We’ll get there, I promise.
There is also an entire element of creativity we miss out on when we run to convenience foods. We miss out on the art of cooking and learning how to build flavors and layer ingredients to make satisfying meals. And learning how to do this means paying attention to how it tastes for you.
Cooking develops a deeper awareness that gets translated over to understanding your body.
I hope that helps you see outside the traditional norm of cooking more because cooking more is healthy. There is so much more to it.
But that doesn’t mean it has to take hours or that you have to be a slave to it.
In this series, healthy homemade, I want to help you enjoy the process of making homemade foods without being a slave to it. I’m not entirely sure what I’m signing us all up for, but I need it, and I hope you can appreciate it too!
