How to Motivate Yourself for Cooking?
To stand down, to snip and to stir costs strength and time, which are often absent in the evening. Do not think that Jenifer and I will always jump to the stove and whet the knives! We too have bad days when we cannot get on with our healthy habits. That is no problem if it is off and on. It is also okay to smear a loaf of bread, but every evening it is boring and not very healthy either.

Anova Culinary's Sous Vide Helps Me Cook like a Pro at Home
Not too long ago, I was about to give up on getting delicious meals at home. It was a night where I had tried to cook up a pair of delicious steaks in hopes of getting some world-class flavor at a lower price point. Unfortunately, things didn't work out that way.

The Boat House, St. Aubin's Jersey
The pace counter on my phone showed I had covered about 10,000 steps bashing the beach since breakfast at the Somerville Hotel, meeting Barry on the beach with his three dogs, walking out to St. Aubin’s Fort and making it back to higher ground just minutes before the causeway was covered with incoming ocean. I think I deserved some lunch, comfort food specifically, to replace those expended calories.

Food Is Life!
Food is life! To put it simply, you cannot live without food. But what exactly is food? Webster’s dictionary defines food as: “material consisting essentially of protein, carbohydrate, and fat used in the body of an organism to sustain growth, repair, and vital processes and to furnish energy.” That’s just a complicated way of saying any substance you consume that sustains, energizes, helps heal, and maintains your body. My love affair with food started very early. I grew up in Memphis, TN in a family who believed in planting foods and eating everything fresh from the garden. We had a very large garden, nearly a quarter of an acre, that we planted every year in the spring. In this garden we planted everything from greens, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, beets, corn, herbs, squash, watermelon, to name a few. We had a variety of fruit and nut trees on the property also, including: apple, pear, peach, plum, walnut, pecans, hazelnuts, etc. Upon reflection it was like a southern paradise for me as a child.

True Tea Culture
Tea is the most consumed beverage in the world after water. In Britain, it’s a part of our daily lives and has played an essential role in shaping British society as it exists today. That being said, tea is a very personal experience. How do you take your tea? With milk? Sugar? Which one comes first? Some say milk while others say tea. Each cuppa is designed to meet the specifications of the person who’ll be enjoying it. While tea is a staple in our culture and various other cultures around the world, one question remains prominent: Do you prefer bagged tea or loose leaf tea?

Gardening for Everyone
Apartment living can get expensive, especially when you've got a big grocery bill and you barely eat the amount of food you buy! Some people solve this by grocery splitting with neighbors (I.E. your neighbors buy the potatoes and you take half while you buy the lettuce and they take half) or donating extra food to local firefighters or shelters. While those are great ways to cut that bill, there's an easier way to save money on food, know where your food comes from, and start an interesting new hobby!

Make a Perfect Steak for Your Next Dinner in with a Chefman Sous Vide
One of the funny but odd parts of adulting is seeing how your foodie friends develop. As kids, we enjoy food, but as we get older and become independent, we realize just how difficult (and oftentimes expensive) it is to get a decent meal on the table.
