Well the day has come for my Amma and Api (in laws) to leave and for my cooking escapades to begin again. Two kids, dance school, home making, fitness and cooking - all this to be juggled with the slew of festivities that are awaiting in the near future. Let us see how I do - I am sure I will survive just like everyone else is and has been surviving. Life is going to be fast paced - lots of sacrifices (even more than I am making now) - standing lunches, lost sleep (wait that cannot happen as I am already not getting any), and perhaps some more stress of juggling life and work and family and oh! THE social life (root cause of all evil).
But, as I start my journey back to cooking and blogging, I have vowed to make sure to atleast "think" if not act right away about not comprising health for convenience. I have always been good about cooking home cooked meals (as you can see through the blog) - but upon doing some thinking over the last few months I have come to realize that what I have been thinking is healthy may not be as healthy after all; what I have known is healthier than what I have been eating needs to be incorporated into my diet, and what I have quietly been consuming under the excuse of "just this last time" needs to leave my life...
There are a slew of things that I want to evaluate and eradicate from my house - Orange juice, Milk, Eggs, Meat in general, energy bars, canned soups, canned beans, canned sauces, salad dressings, candy, whole wheat bread, margarine, shredded cheese, diet coke, flavored yogurts.... the list is endless
And then there are a slew of things that I want to incorporate in my diet - Green Tea, Chia Seeds, Flax seeds, Brown rice, Kale, Almond milk, etc.
Let us see where this new journey takes me and my family and how long it lasts....
