What is breakfast? It means literally, “breaking your nightly fast.” Unless in the wees hours, you’ve eaten too much gelato overcome with ERUPTIONS OF maple syrup.
If I eat a good breakfast, I’m stronger and can face life’s challenges that are gushing at me like a firehouse.
There are many challenges out there, and I am changing along with the world.
“Spoiler Alert”
This blog is transforming into a full spectrum rumination of organic living through times of change.

With the right tips and tricks, anyone can become a master chef in the kitchen. Mind if I spill the beans and give you some helpful hints that have made cooking a central focus of my pleasure?
I’ll cut to the cheese: ingredients matter
Fresh organic ingredients make all the difference between an average dish and one that’s a party in your mouth. Start by sourcing fresh produce from local organic farmer’s markets and fine Natural and Organic stores. I like supporting Independent Natural Food Stores because they often have better-tasting (and higher quality) food than supermarkets.
Always invest in good-quality spices, oils, and other cooking ingredients. Spices, oils and condiments have a shelf life, so use them within a year at the longest.

Throw caution to the wind, and don’t be shy to uncover new ingredients and exotic places through recipes. Experiment with different ingredient combinations. I love taking a basic recipe and making it mine with my fresh ingredients. Sometimes it’s a flop, and other times it’s a masterpiece.
You can never have too much intuition when it comes to cooking, so don’t be afraid to experiment in the kitchen!
Taste food as you go along and adjust seasonings or add extra herbs and spices as necessary when you cook collard greens in a pressure cooker to insure you get the best flavors out of your dish.
Practice makes perfect

Practice is crucial for improving your cooking skills. The more you cook, the better you feel; the better you feel will raise your dough IQ. This includes understanding flavor profiles, combinations, and perfect marriages of ingredients and cooking methods.
So don’t be discouraged if your first attempt doesn’t come out quite right; keep trying, and you will eventually get better. Document your progress as you go along to help you track your successes and failures. The Lentil Pizza experiment is on my Wurst list.
Take your time to get your juices flowing it.
Rushing through the cooking process will only lead to a harried meal. You need to take your time and pay attention to each step of the process, from prepping ingredients to plating up the final dish. This may mean setting aside more thyme for cooking than you initially planned, but it will be worth it in the end!
You can also take some time to relax or stretch while cooking; it will help you stay focused and ensure that your meal is perfectly cooked.
Have a good frolic; make it fun

Cooking for loved ones or just you can be a wanton time! Don’t become intimidated by complex recipes or complicated techniques; instead, focus on having a peachy excursion. Listen to some music with a beet while you cook. Invite a friend to join you in the kitchen to help whip and sip with a laugh and a nip.
We only have so many moments in our lives, so lettuce celebrate the time we spend in the kitchen with fervor.
