My brother in law uses the kitchen as a stress remedy - he's a really good cook. The mroe stressed I am, the less I WANT to cook - probably as I feel the weight of the demand to nourish and support others around me. Saying that, when we have guests, I love to cook as I chat (we have an open plan kitchen) as it's soemthing to direct my nervous energy/social anxiety into.
Sorry to hear you've been ill - I know you are the BOSS of healing your family through good food medicine, so I'm sure you have all recovered by the time you get this comment - until the next round of illness!
I get this statement! I know that feeling exactly. It's a great responsibility. I've also used cooking in a way to ease my nerves.
Thanks so much. Yes, we are pretty much back to health. We actually visited a health store and grabbed some immune boosts/support to help us stay well. I had to push through my weakness to cook but I'm so glad I did.
Thanks for always leaving an amazing comment for me to read ~ 💚
