I was having a conversation with a friend about what the title “cook” means to women. He thinks most women conjure up an image of “chief cook and bottle washer” when they think of the title "cook" and that the title has no elegance, class, sophistication, or power. Unfortunately, I think his assessment is accurate. Many women see cooking as a lowly, disliked, time-consuming chore.
As
Cooking does not make a woman less successful, powerful, or independent. On the contrary, a successful, powerful, intelligent, independent woman will choose to cook for her family not because she has to, but because she understands the value of cooking and that the benefits far out weigh the time and effort it takes to cook. She sees cooking not as one more chore to do in an already exhausting day, but instead an opportunity to show nurturing, love, care and concern for her family.
Rise to the challenge and become the cook for your family and be proud of a title that gives you the opportunity to influence your family’s health and well-being and provide them with physical and emotional sustenance.
Cooking is easier than you think and you and your family are worth the time and effort it takes.
Simple cooking idea: Cut a lemon in half. Stick a fork in the cut half and squeeze the lemon around the fork. You will get all of the juice, and a fork is easier to clean.

Thank you, Gigi. I have always felt these important reasons for cooking but have not been successfull in putting these feelings into words. You are wonderful!
Thank you for reading and for agreeing with me. My passion is to spearhead a movement of men and women who are cooking for their families again and loving it.
Amen sister!
