How stressful is it to try and figure out what to cook for dinner? If you don’t suffer from this dilemma, my hats off to you.

I know my mother in law is a goddess in the kitchen. She has been cooking for so long that she can prepare a complicated recipe in less than an

hour. Her recipes come out good about 90% of the time.

But there are still times when she is stuck with the same question “What should I cook for dinner tonight?”

I had the same problem, I would dwell in the maze of “what to cook for dinner?” all day that by the time it was time to eat I was no where close to figuring out what to cook. So I started thinking about ordering pizza, boiling water for some Cup Noodles, head out to the Golden Arches, or simply steaming some winners and serve them as hot dogs.

But I am now more aware of what that type of diet can do to my body. I refuse to accept the old and easy way of eating, and I’m inclined to believe that if you are going through this, you must know it doesn’t have to be like this.
