When living by yourself it can be very hard to find motivation to cook meals for yourself. There is usually a lot of take out or easy pre-made dinners. Not only is this not good for you, but if you love to cook you don’t end up doing it as much as you would like. This has been the case for myself and my girlfriend, Abla, for many years now. We both live alone and love to cook but don’t do it nearly enough. Since we have been together, almost a year now, we have slowly been cooking more for each other and rediscovering our love for it. We are soon moving in together and this year we made a new years resolution to cook more and try new things that we haven’t tried to make before. We decided we should document our process, if only just for ourselves. Here are some of the things we plan to try and get better at making this year.
- Making our own pasta – we recently came into a pasta maker.
- Ice Cream
- Bread
- Hot sauce
- Pizza and the dough
- Ribs – I can’t believe I have never made ribs.
- Eggs Benedict with our own Hollandaise sauce.
We’ll see how well we do with this list throughout the year. As we try different recipes we will post our experience and highlight any tips for the next time we make it. We also really like to go out and eat, so we may write about good food we have had at restaurants. We are looking forward to this year and our adventure in food.
