Last week I wrote about taking advantage of ambition. This week is more about how you may have very little ambition but somehow get food made anyway. This post is probably not going to be as long as the last one but a continuation none the less. In that post I mentioned how I found … Continue reading Part 2 to Motivation to Cook

Motivation to Cook
Getting the motivation to cook can be very hard. It isn't easy to gather the ambition or energy after getting off of work to cook. Sometimes even the basics can be overwhelming after a long day. You might have to talk yourself into wanting to cook something. There are times however you find yourself ambitious … Continue reading Motivation to Cook
Warm Weather and Cold Foods
Last week, I figured out that it is getting around to the time of year where cooking is not very fun, at least in the oven. I made a quick casserole, just mixed a bunch a stuff together. It was hot in the house afterwards. I am fully aware that not all of the US … Continue reading Warm Weather and Cold Foods
Temperatures May Vary
It is the phrase stated on nearly every if not every food item that is meant to be shoved into an oven. They say this to prevent people from expecting their pasta or pizza to be done at a specific time when it isn't finished cooking. The main reason that a pizza or lasagna wouldn't … Continue reading Temperatures May Vary
Cost of Meat and Vegetarian Choices
It seems to me that there is a correlation between the cost of meat and the amount of meat consumed. At least there is one for me. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to make a sort of teriyaki veggie rice mix for a couple of reasons. One was that I didn't feel like … Continue reading Cost of Meat and Vegetarian Choices

You can pay quite a bit more for prepared food than what you would pay to make it yourself. I feel like this is an incomplete idea. What else you are paying for, besides the … Continue reading Buying vs. Making Your Own
Moving and Meal Planning
I have to say that moving to a new home can influence cooking and meal planning. Moving affects what a person is able to cook before leaving their old place and what they can cook at the new location. It can be difficult for the experienced mover. Even when you are comfortable with moving regularly, … Continue reading Moving and Meal Planning
Lenten Food Memories
As the year falls into Lent, I often think about the social customs that come with them. Many Christians/Catholics find themselves eating more fish and seafood to accommodate a meatless diet. Now the fact that fish is not meat in the Catholic sense is an interesting concept in of itself. The reason I said Catholic … Continue reading Lenten Food Memories
The Inspiration of Food by Movies
Scrolling through my Pinterest, I have found a large amount of movie inspired food recipes recently. These recipes come from Lord of the Rings/Hobbit, Harry Potter, and more. I have also seen a multitude of love for Studio Ghibli and its cinematic food. This flood of food inspired me with a thought which may sound … Continue reading The Inspiration of Food by Movies
Comfort Foods and Home
Everyone has a comfort food, whether they know/admit it or not. At least by my definition: it is a food that you eat to cheer you up or a food that reminds you of home (regardless of whether you have a home). Comfort foods can be very different for people no matter what country or … Continue reading Comfort Foods and Home
