Self Care : Cooking

Happy Monday, everyone! One of the signs I'm doing good emotionally and mentally is the quality of my cooking. I have always loved to cook but when I'm low and feeling defeated, cooking is not my jam. I've been preparing meals more often lately and it's been great!

I made one of my son's favorite, spam fried rice! It's a simple meal but it turned out really good. Most of my favorite meals aren't very complicated. This may be because of my laziness levels but, oh well.

Tonight I made some tasty chicken fajitas with purple cabbage and some lemon. I'm on a roll! I haven't cooked like this in so long. I can't help but feel grateful for this day no matter what mistakes I've made or tasks I left incomplete, I did more today than I've done in a long time. Let's just say I'm almost caught up with all my usual house chores and even re-arranged, re-organized, and de-cluttered. These things are not one time fixes and I know I'm going to have to keep this momentum going tomorrow but I just wanted to take the time and celebrate small victories until my victories get bigger.

*If anyone wants recipes for the above items I can do that just let me know

One love!
