I have been through several food ruts in the past year (hello, grief!) and I thought I’d write a post that will help me when I need help again. See also Keeping Creativity Alive.
OK, here we go.
Hello, Tracy. I’m glad you’re here. Here is:
How to Work Your Way Out of a Food Rut.
First, you must interview yourself. Ask yourself the following questions.
How do you know you’re in a food rut?
and
Why are you in a food rut?
Right now, you know when you’re in a food rut when food isn’t exciting.
You’ve been eating the same thing, you’ve lost your ooomph in the kitchen and have no idea what to cook/eat.
YOU ARE BORED WITH FOOD and the pace of the internet and this idea of making NEW! EXCITING! GROUNDBREAKING! recipes can take the fun out of eating/cooking. The kitchen needs cleaning (AGAIN) when you cook and sometimes you just can’t add that to your plate after working all day (sometimes in the kitchen). Having to feed two other people who have different tastebuds/likes/dislikes can feel uninspiring. When you’re trying to be healthy and good food choices, it can be so difficult.
How do you work your way out of a food rut?
MAKE CHANGES!
Remember what your Mom always used to say:
Shock your system by making something new.
