We've all been there: You stumble upon a recipe that looks absolutely drool-worthy, so you
save it with the best intentions. But then life happens, and before you know it, that recipe is buried beneath a pile of others (or added to a Pinterest board), forgotten and neglected. Sound familiar?
Let's break that pattern...
1. Start Small: Instead of overwhelming yourself with a mountain of recipes-to-try, start small. Commit to trying just one new recipe a month. Pick a specific day, like the first Saturday of the month, mark it on your calendar, and choose the
recipe.
2. Plan Ahead: As your designated recipe day approaches, take a peek at your chosen recipe. Check if you have all the ingredients you need and if there are any special tools or techniques involved. Adjust your grocery list accordingly.
3. Make It a Thing: Treat your recipe day like a mini cooking adventure. Set aside some time, put on some tunes, pour your favorite beverage, and get cooking. If you can, involve family or friends—it's often more fun with company.
4. Reflect and Tweak: After you've made the recipe, take a moment to reflect. Did you enjoy it? Would you make it again? Use your experience to refine your approach for next time.
5. Repeat. Set next
month's date and recipe so you're ready for a new cooking adventure ahead.
Happy cooking!
