Three tips to help you cook more

This week was marked by my cooking abilities, first Koko with her fail in the kitchen article and yesterday… well, yesterday something funny happened.
What? A neighbor asked me why do I order take out so much? My reaction? Major poker face! Say what? People keep tap on that… those, pesky, pesky neighbors…
Anyways, I answered that sometimes I do not have time to cook… this none of your business, no I kept this one to myself … 
Though, I do enjoy to cook for time to time, it’s not something I do on a daily basis, and when I cook or prepare something, it usually involves avocado. Yeah, I love avocado and you can’t eat as it is, you need to do something with it. Ohh, and salads, and sometimes rice with different toppings, stir fry, pasta and other things.  Yeah, I consider making a salad cooking!
There is a major improvement in my cooking skills and the amount of time I spend in the kitchen.  Still, with all the ordering and eating out, this year I cooked more than last 3 combined, yes. Now, I am the last person encouraging you to spend time in the kitchen, trust me, really, trust me; but if you are trying to eat healthier or let’s say have a more balance diet, you have to cook, unfortunately. I do prefer eating out and ordering, but that’s a bit tricky.  
So, here are three tips that helped me put a little extra effort in cooking.
  1. Following a lot of cooking blogs even if only for the inspiration.Some of my favorites are HalfBakedHarvest, BloggingOverThyme + DollyAndOatmeal 
  2. Create a Pinterest board for all the recipes you plan to try, Pinterest always comes in handy with everything. 
  3. Buy a bunch of cute kitchen tools and tableware, this works wonders for me. For cooking and working out, ahahaha. Also, if you happen to renovate your kitchen, I suggest go for a bit of color as you’ll feel inspired to spend more time cooking, ha! I’m particularly loving these bright and colorful Lem’s kitchens.  Though, if you are not one to love color, go for the details. An orange cabinet, a fun wallpaper or mix matched chairs.
See, neutral kitchen furniture paired with and awesome wallpaper with a touch of turquoise. Doesn’t it look awesome?
What’s your fav one? 
Pssss…. Until the 16th of August, Lem’s has a 40% off sale! They have stores all around the country and the products are made in RO.
