I am so tired of cooking too. Sure, the results are worth it..but what a lot of work. I guess you have to figure you are burning calories, which is good, since you are about to consume some. But the WORST is cooking food for my family that I can’t eat. That just sucks!

Hey!

I thought of your blog yesterday. I caught part of Oprah yesterday evening and I guess her theme was about eating healthy/better foods. Alicia Silverstone was one of her guests and she mentioned bok choy. Later on she said her goal was to help teach people they could “flirt with a healthy lifestyle”. I got a kick out of that. See if you can find the episode online! Perhaps it could provide you with some blogging leads.

I’m with you on that one. I don’t enjoy cooking at all! I’m slow with the chopping and I’m never really sure what the different cooking instructions mean or whether I have the stove on high enough. I did find a cookbook that I kind of enjoy cooking meals from though. It’s called The Ultimate Healthy Eating Plan by Liz Pearson and Mairlyn Smith. They also have a newer version called Ultimate Foods for Ultimate Health. I like them because the recipes are healthy but tasty, they’re fairly simple meals with minimal pots, pans and utensils to wash at the end, and because the ingredients are readily available in your grocery store and stuff you’re likely to use on a regular basis. The few ingredients that are kind of out there seem to be ones that can last in the fridge for several months so you don’t have to worry about what to do with the leftovers if you don’t make the same recipe again right away.

I only learned this recently, but my mother keeps ginger in the freezer. This is, when you do that, it’s ridiculously easy to peel and it grates cleanly. Plus, no stinging and it lasts forever!

Looks delicious. I may have to have Chinese food in the near future.

I went to China for about 4 weeks about 12 years ago. We ate bok choy every day at lunch and dinner. Lucky I like it. Although I think it feels like what a cow chewing cud must feel like. There’s a lot of fiber in those puppies.

I used to work with a woman who could peel ginger in one hand… yes, she held the knife and the ginger in one hand and peeled it quite neatly. I saw her do it.
Mind you, she couldn’t write tech manual if you paid her, but dang that woman could peel ginger!

Psssst…when I grated up ginger for that Eat, Shrink, and Be Merry “Sticky Chicky” recipe, I washed it but I didn’t peel it, and we all lived.

Oh, thank you, Jennette, for hating cooking! I hate cooking, too. I’m so envious of all those people who love to cook and are constantly trying new recipes and baking their own bread and making everything from scratch. I would be that way if I could. But I, too, hate to cook.

I definitely must try this recipe! It looks scrumptious. Sometimes I’ll turn on a movie or music (I have a “cooking” playlist) to entertain me through my prepping (chopping). Personally, I love to cook, but I can definitely understand the point of view of those who aren’t so fond of it.
