I’m passionate about organic and healthy ingredients, but I’ve realized that flexibility is truly the key to consistency, especially when cooking for the family. That means that sometimes I go for something that might be a little easier and a little less “healthy”….
It’s honestly a balance when you are cooking for nutritious, wholesome choices while also making it stress-free. You know I have never been one to love cooking… but it doesn’t have to be stressful!
With everything I have left in my kitchen, I am creating a yummy chicken curry soup! My family loves this dish and it is super simple to make. That’s another thing about making cooking habitual. Once you start buying ingredients for different meals, you’ll be able to create something out of nothing because you have fundamental ingredients!
