Intro

I love guilt. It forces me to be a better mom. Without "mom guilt" my boys would watch more tv so I could sit and do nothing. We would skip bath time to speed up the bed time routine so I would never miss the first 15 min of trashy television. I would drink more and order in take out - often. I would pretend like I didn't see them not "keeping their hands to themselves" bc it's WAY easier to look the other way when youre exhausted and I would use junk food to appease them from morning until night. Thankfully this guilt has forced me to learn how to become a better cook (or at least try). I've spent the last four months dabbling and the more I cook the more I want to learn. I giggle to myself when I locate ingredients in the supermarket I have never heard of and jump for joy when my boys actually enjoy what I have made. Sometimes stuff blows up in my face (literally)but other times we get through a dinner without gags, fits and cleared plates. It's those other times which warm my heart to know my little guys are taken care of. So maybe guilt isn't the motivation and love is. To my kids, a cook book of easy favourites to help you learn your way around the kitchen. If I can do it, so can you. Bon appetite! Love Mom xox
