Before I get to my actual post, I want to thank everyone of you for your encouragement and kind words. I have to make a very special thank you to Ali and Lateef who put the idea of a blog in my head, and Saba and Shamaila who pushed me regardless of my constant obstacles with technology.
While I was on the bus coming home from work, I was figuring what to cook and I was getting excited. This is so not me!!! My family can vouch that I have never ever liked cooking. I have amazing cooks in my family, my aunt Shireen Anwar is the host of Masala TV and her recipes are delicious. In fact as my kids were growing I would make just a couple of dishes and repeat those over and over because they were easy. My sister who is a great cook and always has some delicious home cooked meal ready at home would tell me, I need to make more of a variety of foods.
I finally figured out, what changed my thinking and its not that I like cooking, I still think cooking is too much work if your making good food, but the food I want to blog about is easy, really healthy and made with ingredients that are nutritious. Secondly being in New York City and being an Empty Nester, I have no need to cook as every food I want can be be delivered by Seamless and since I have no kids there are no restrictions.
The problem is, I do not always know what is in the food that I order and that if I want the benefits and healing effects of food then I have to make it myself. Since there is no need to cook, I have more of a desire to experiment with ingredients on my poor husband. We still love going out to eat.
The nutrients and the health benefits of the food are my main passion. I love Nutrition and how it affects our bodies and minds, good and bad and that is the message, I really want to get across in my blog.
My next post, is the meal I did make today.
