What are you baking??

[zina10]

At least someone will appreciate my cooking. I can make the most extravagant meal in the world and my kids will just look at it and say "do we have any chicken nuggets or pizza rolls?" And they want store bought crap for those too... smh

You know, I think its all the "additives" in some ready to eat stuff, and also some fast (or faster) food.

MSG's and the like.

Our taste buds are literally "deadened" by all that over abundance of that fake stuff, sugars and salts. You begin to crave it and can't appreciate the flavors of actual fresh ingredients anymore. Once you go back to enjoying "good" food, you begin to realize just how "tasteless" that other stuff really is. I notice it esp. in chocolates, desserts and snacks.

I just don't enjoy spending all that time in the kitchen, but I sure enjoy and appreciate REAL and GOOD food !! I have began making "healthy" smoothies. Oh, how EASY that is. It replaces an entire meal with nothing but healthy stuff. Since you can use a lot of the ingredients frozen (fruit and greens) it makes it fast and convenient. The rest is stuff you buy once and then just keep on hand, like veg. protein powders, healthy stuff like mancha green tea powder or spirulina powder, ground flax seed or chia, nut butters, nuts, cocoa. Mixed with almond or coconut milk. I can make that in 5 minutes and it keeps me full and satisfied for hours.

I usually don't eat breakfast. And usually skip lunch. I get busy and sort of forget to eat, plus I don't like to eat before doing physical work and since I'm constantly doing something, well, I don't eat, LOL. I'm an "evening eater" and snacker, always have been. But the smoothie is quick, healthy and doesn't make me feel "full and tired", so I have that for lunch.
