For the longest time I have struggled with depression, but when I discovered recently my passion for good food I also discovered how good cooking made me feel and the difference it made to my depression! When I first started this blog, I was feeling low and had been struggling with the usual day-to-day process of being a stay-at-home mum. My husband - thank goodness a good cook himself! - would cook the majority of meals and me? I would cook occasionally, when the inspiration struck.
But now, cooking makes me feel better. It's soothing and exciting; I love seeing the reaction of my husband and daughter and seeing the meal come together at the end. This blog took that to the next step as I would photograph the meal at the end so I could show whoever read my blog what it looked like. That made it feel extra special :)
I would love to hear from people who are reading this blog, too! Tell me what you think of the recipes; and, what would be REALLY great, tell me you're TRYING them!!! My dream for this blog is for people to read it and try out the recipes... and then PASS IT ON!!!
You know the other thing about cooking for me? Because it was special and it felt good, and I was so proud of myself for doing it... we eat at the dining table together as a family! That just makes it all extra, extra, double super special :D
I know to a lot of you, it sounds strange for me to be so proud of myself for simply cooking dinner. I'm a mother and wife, I should be cooking dinner, right? Well, at the end of the day, I wish it was that simple. But because I struggle with what many would consider simple things, it's the simple things in life that make me the happiest.
So, my challenge to you, dear readers, is this: this week, choose one of the recipes that has been posted so far and give it a try. None of them are expensive or difficult, so why don't you give them a try? One day this week, cook a meal from the blog and let me know how it went!
