Hate Cooking?

Members Were Sparked

I've never been a cook, but I've decided it's necessary for my lifestyle change. To get started I've focused on finding recipes with easy ingredients - healthier pre-made sauces or crusts, canned products, and pre-sliced items such as onions from the grocery store. Having these ready-to-use items has helped minimize my fear of the kitchen!

Red lentils are quick to cook and very healthy!

I used to hate cooking green or yellow lentils because they took so long. Red lentils are done in 20 minutes! I add onion, garlic, tomato, spinach and whatever other vegetable is in my fridge to them. I also use different Asian spices which makes them taste great. It's healthy and affordable!

Frozen veggies are OK

I used to feel bad about eating frozen veggies vs. fresh veggies, until I learned that frozen veggies can actually be better for you and contain more nutrients! I hate cooked peas but frozen peas as a snack is delicious!

MORE INFORMATION:
Frozen fruits/veggies are picked at their prime time when their nutritional values have fully developed and frozen right away. Fresh fruits/veggies are picked beore they are fully ripe so they do not grow to have as much nutrients. They are picked then shipped and sit in the store until bought.
