I have always enjoyed cooking for more than one reason. Satisfaction from seeing people whom I care for eat meals I prepared has been one of my biggest motivators. I suppose it is because I can see actual proof of my ability to help others fulfil one of our core needs – a happy stomach.
After getting married, I solely commanded the kitchen in our home by choice and with a great deal of effort placed on nutritional value. Thankfully, I have a partner who welcomes dietary change and routine. Though some days I would prefer to just not see it, due to laziness, the majority of the time I am locked away in it being as happy as I could be.
