I have spent a majority of my adulthood traveling throughout the United States. However,  for the next 2 years I am focusing a majority of my financial resources on paying off my student loans.

7 Keys To Improving Your Cooking Game In 2015

It is 2015 and you are looking to make some healthier food and lifestyle choices. Perhaps, your skillsets in the kitchen are limited to opening up a frozen dinner and placing it into the microwave. Or you never learned to cook at all. This year you can change all of that by embracing the following 7 elements. 1.  Ingredients Cooking begins with having the right ingredients. Vegetables, fruits, grains, and meats. Buy organic whenever possible and support your local farmer's/merchants. 2. Equipment During the beginning of your cooking journey, you do not have to drop a lot of money on pots, pans, flatware,  and/or utensils.  Start off with a skillet, medium sauce pan, and a large stock pot for cooking pasta. If you live alone and are on a tight budget, check out stores such as Dollar Tree, Wal-mart, Dollar General, and Target for inexpensive flatware and cooking utensils. 3. Scheduling Time Cooking every night ain't for everybody. Set aside a time once a week

Home Decor:Christmas Decoration Storage
