Excited for My Meal Recipes

I noticed that my kids are always getting excited about what I’m going to cook for their meals especially their packed lunch that’s why I’m taking notes of their favourites and learning some more nice recipes. I’m glad that in spite of cooking delicious recipes for my kids I’m not tempted to eat large portions of what I’m cooking for them. Well if I develop a big appetite for my delicious meals I would certainly need some diet pills that’s why I’m glad that never happens to me these days. I know my healthy meal plan and regular workout help me to control sweet cravings and overeating. I’m looking forward for the results of my discipline and meal planning. Hope I’ll succeed!

Inherited Flair for Cooking Holiday Recipes

I’m very fond of cooking and I can say that among my hobbies this one proved to be the most active hobby that I do everyday of my life. My parents came from families that are good in cooking. My Mom always tells me stories of her grandparents being invited to cook for special occasions like wedding and big gatherings. Just the same with my father’s side as his father is known to have a special talent in cooking and used to cook for his friends and relatives on weddings and special occasions.

I grew up seeing my school teacher Mom cook various original recipes for their school’s entry in cooking competition for original, most healthy and economical recipes. Most of the times they win using my Mom’s original recipes and she will teach me their winning entries. I was in my teens when I show my flair for cooking but it all started with desserts and Holiday Recipes because I love to help my Mom when I’m on school vacation. During holidays we tried several unique recipes and we’re happy to see the results from the satisfied visitors we have.

Now that my Mom is old I’m the one who primarily manage the kitchen and I was contented to have my Mom’s golden advices and tips in cooking. She taught me a lot in cooking and when they praise me for my delicious recipes I can only tell them that it’s from my Mom’s tips. Aside from that I also read books and from what I learned from the books I enhanced a bit to give my recipe a special touch. I’m planning to enroll in a baking class so I can be good not only on regular recipes but also on baked goodies just like my Mom who used to bake our birthday cakes. I thank God that I will be able to do this all because He has given me an opportunity to earn income at home. I just love being a work-at-home Mom.

Cravings!

I woke up early this morning even if my kids has no classes today. I need to go to market early to catch up with my busy schedules. Yesterday night hubby asked me if I can cook pork sinigang tomorrow with real tamarind and not just the ready-made powder tamarind broth because he really wanted an original tamarind sour taste. He didn't know that my two girls are also asking me the other day so I decided since I don't have office work today that I'll succumb to their cravings. I bought a meat with some pork bones so it will have a tasty soup. Well actually I didn't just cooked for their cravings because it's my favorite too!

Are You A Good Cook?

You Are a Learning Cook

You've got the makings of an excellent cook, and the desire to be one. But right now, you're just lacking the experience. You couldn't be a top chef yet, but you could be an apprentice.

Are You A Good Cook?

Actually I'd like to think that I'm a good cook because I really put my mind and heart on it,
my mom is a good cook and she passed all her knowledge, techniques and secrets to me
so everyday I get full hands-on training from her. I'm lucky and happy that we're living with my mom. How about you? Are you a good cook? Better be a good cook because it's true that the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach! Happy cooking!
