The same old stuff -chicken, spaghetti and tacos.
Your family rolls their eyes when you answer the constant question, “What’s for dinner?”
You find yourself putting off grocery shopping because you’re in a food rut. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
You can add new recipes and foods to your rotation and beat the food blahs. How, you may ask…social media.
As the article, “Why You Get Bored When Cooking and What to Do About It” looks at, you can do something about it.
Don’t Be Redundant
Cooking can be a little redundant and mundane.
Most of us don’t have time to shop every day and spend hours in the kitchen. We cook what we know, what is fast and easy, and hopefully healthy. We go with the safe things; they may not be exciting, but we know our families will eat them. But it can be a little boring and get us stuck in a food rut.
So what to do about it? Here’s where social media comes into play.
Social media offers more cooking advice, tips and recipes than you will ever need. It’s a smorgasbord of variety, new techniques and recipes.
So before your next trip to the grocery store, check out some of these social media sites:
Pinterest is a top site for cooking inspiration.
You can search by ingredient, meal or style, and pin after pin will show up. The pins will take you to the recipe, and here you may find not only a great new recipe to try, but also maybe a new blog to subscribe to.
Try some of these search tags:
• Quick dinner ideas
• Paleo dinners
• Crock pot chicken
• Burger ideas
• 5-ingredient meals
• Main dish salad
Yes, you can subscribe to different Facebook pages that share recipes, but don’t forget what you already have there – your friends.
Facebook is an excellent forum for asking big questions, like, “What’s your favorite go to recipe?” You can even start a Facebook group where you share recipes and cooking ideas with your friends.
Blogs
You could not even begin to search all the food blogs out there.
Food is one of the top things people blog about. But narrow it down a little to your style, or search things like “Top food blogs for busy moms” and you’ll come up with some great stuff. When you find something you really like that looks practical and applicable to you, subscribe.
You’ll get recipes in your inbox and though you won’t make them all, you may find a new favorite or two, or at the very least, some inspiration.
Exciting food is out there ready for you to grab.
Recipes are abundant on social media, your task is simply to find the style that suits you and take a bit of time to search, subscribe, ask and pin.
Your family will soon be ready to come to the dinner table to see what exciting new thing you’ve prepared every night!
Bon appetite!
