MJ’S Cooking Journey
Welcome to My Cooking Journey:
Passion & Purpose
I’m so excited to welcome you into my little corner of the culinary world. Cooking has always been more than just making meals, it’s my way of slowing down, finding discipline, and nourishing both my body and mind.
I’ve always loved good food, especially my mom’s. She’s an incredible cook. Funny enough, she forced me to learn how to cook. I remember how she would call me into the kitchen every time she was preparing a meal, and honestly, I didn’t love it back then. But now? I’m so grateful she did. Growing up in my hometown, food was always at the heart of our family gatherings, especially Shabbat dinners on Fridays. Cooking became more than a routine; it became a way to de-stress, to connect, and to truly appreciate every flavor.
Over time, I realized that my love for cooking was something I wanted to share. My friends were always asking for recipes, amazed at how fast I cooked, or how I balanced flavors effortlessly. So, I figured, why not create a space where I can share my passion with even more people? Whether you’re just starting out in the kitchen or you’ve been cooking for years but want to elevate your flavors, this space is for you. Cooking, like anything in life, is a journey. It’s about exploring, challenging yourself, and sharing love through food.
In this blog, I’ll be sharing recipes, some easy, some a little more challenging but all packed with intention, flavor, and creativity. I’ll also guide you through fast and efficient techniques to help you save time, money, and bring more discipline into your cooking routine.
But more than that, you’ll get a peek into my personal journey, how I maintain my weight, how I eat based on my mood while balancing my macros and micronutrients, and even the days when I don’t feel like cooking but still show up, put in the effort, and enjoy the process.
I would love for you to be part of this journey. If you’re passionate about food, eager to learn, or looking to build more discipline in the kitchen, you’re in the right place.
Thank you for being here. Taking this step to share my love for cooking is definitely stepping out of my comfort zone, but I couldn’t be more excited. Remember, food is more than just fuel. It’s a way to connect not just with our bodies, but with people too. 💛
