I have been spending time in the kitchen again. It feels wonderful. Baking and cooking are my favorite hobbies. When I don't feel well they do not appeal to me, I dread walking into the kitchen after working all day when I'm flaring. This last weekend I have been enjoying my time in the kitchen, it is such a wonderful feeling to have again. Saturday I decided to do a pumpkin pie with homemade crust and my grandma's pie crust cookie's. Sunday I decided to attempt baking with vegetables. I made a chocolate zucchini cake. It is great to be baking again and experimenting with healthier versions. Tonight I have a crock pot going with apples, apple cider and cinnamon to make a big batch of applesauce. I hope I have plenty to can. If it turns out good I will post the recipe. Along with my chocolate zucchini cake.
Cooking like this again makes a house feel like a home to me. Sitting down to a homemade meal after we have all cooked it together in the kitchen is like a piece of heaven. Nothing compares to the feeling of being able to physically enjoy myself like the way I used to. I'm also hungry again which is prompting me to get in the kitchen and start experimenting and making delicious food and goodies. I am still doing my cleanse so I need to be good and continue to limit myself on the sweets, my body is not happy after eating not so great food, like having more than one piece of cake:) Having cortisone in my body and feeling well make it a little harder to resist the good stuff. If I can continue to feel better maybe I will have to get out the Just Dance to burn the extra calories!
