Consuming less, eating more!

 

When doing research for my previous blog post I found this really cool blog about not eating out and how you can consume less while eating more. To me, that sounded great so I started reading. As soon as I realized that this was a cooking blog, I shut down. But then I decided to “stick it out” and actually read what she had written, and boy was I surprised. Funny, inspiring, yummy recipies that I wanted to cook. Correction, that I wanted to eat, but I wasn’t repelled by the thought of having to cook in order for me to get to the finishing meal. Invissible step for mankind, a huge step for me!

What inspired me to keep reading and actually ckech out some of the dishes was the way she presented herself and her standpoint. She gives you reason after reason to why you shouldn’t eat out, and then she’s so bold to actually tell you why not to eat out especially in New York. New York of all places. Crazy, huh? But reading her explanation to why this is, I slowly started to see where she’s coming from. She mentions things like knowing exactly what you get when you cook and the money saver `the lunch-box`. When I’m finally settled in in my new apartment (which is monday btw) I’ll start with going to a big grocery store, do some serious shopping and then, believe it or not, start cooking more often. I will definately not say everyday as that’s so not realistic. But I will say that you’re going to get more cooking post on this blog in the future.

Going back to this food blog, and another great thing she does is that she tells you on a scale btw 1 brownie and 10 brownies (1 being the healthiest) just how healthy the meal is. This way you can easilly follow a diet or simply watch what you eat. She also shows you how you can calculate your food costs which can lead to many lightbulb moments.
