Struggling with learning how to cook healthy meals for yourself and your family? It's hard to convert your current cooking habits, into something more nutritional and beneficial for your body. We tend to get in a rut; cooking the same recipes that we already know. Scared to break out of our comfort zone to try a new recipe or a new style of cooking. The problem with cooking the same meals over and over is that our bodies don't receive a variety of nutrients like it should. We become deficient in nutrients that our meals are lacking in. It is also easy to take the easy way out; relying on meals that all you need to do is heat it up and add meat or water. Do we really want to feed our bodies foods that are prepackaged and sold in a box?
I came across a great blog today called Nourished Kitchen. This blog is full of recipes, tutorials, resources, and articles all about cooking real foods. What I found to be great about it, is that much of the premise of the blog is based on the teachings of Weston Price and one of my favorite cooking books Nourishing Traditions.
Nourished Kitchen also offers online cooking lessons!
"Eat Real Food. It seems simple enough: Eat real food. Cook from scratch. Shop locally. But how do you make it happen in your own kitchen? Especially those of us who never learned how to cook — we were raised on microwave suppers, boxed cereals and toaster pastries. We all face the challenges of a modern life – balancing work and parenthood, all the while trying to feed our families healthier meals.
Our food supply has changed drastically in the past few decades. These days, you have to be a chemist to make sense of it all. Artificial growth hormones. Hydrogenated soybean oil. High-fructose corn syrup. And isn’t organic food more expensive? Sure, eating healthier is great, but not if you go broke in the process. How do you feed your family healthy, nourishing meals without spending all day in the kitchen and blowing your food budget?"
This online course states that it can help you to learn the following:
- Shop for whole, unrefined local foods in season.
- Maximize nutrition and minimize cost.
- Plan meals that will help you stick to your food budget.
- Bake organic whole grain bread for a fraction of the cost of store-bought.
- Bake grain-free muffins, cookies and pastries that taste great.
- Make nutrient-dense foods like broth, easily and affordably.
- Prepare tender grass-fed and pasture-raised meats.
- Save a mint making homemade yogurt, condiments, salad dressings and pickles.
- Make use of cheaper cuts of meat with slow cooking.
- Make healthy homemade soda for just pennies a gallon.
If you register for the class before September 15th, they are also offering a $50 discount. For more information on this course, visit Nourished Kitchen website.
Pura Vida!
