Quick Recipes Save The Day

My sister, Kelly, broke the good news to us that she is two months pregnant. This is her first pregnancy; a new experience for her and we are all excited for her. This baby is also going to be the first grandchild for my parents.

Kelly said that she has been experiencing morning sickness, uinfortunately. One wonders why it is called "morning sickness" when it could happen anytime of the day or even night! Kelly said that naturally, she has loss her appetite for food already because of that but then sometimes she craves for food too but the craving passes so swiftly, by the time food is ready, she doesn't feel like eating anymore.

Her husband is incredibly patient and has taken the initiative to look for quick recipes on the internet. He hes never been a web savvy person and yet, he is fast catching up thanks to all the time he spends in front of the computer looking for simple recipes online so that he could whip up a dish in the shortest possible time, before my sister's craving for food passes and his effort is wasted, yet again.

You know, when I was younger, I was very passionate about cooking. And then I realized that I have to slog in the kitchen for an hour or two just to come up with decent dishes but the meal would only take 30 minutes or so to finish! Imagine all the time spent in the kitchen! I lost interest pretty fast but it was also because I couldn't afford the luxury of time any longer.

My brother-in-law is sharing his discoveries of quick recipes with me and I am finding joy in cooking again. I don't indulge in elaborate dishes anymore but quick recipes are very handy. They are easy to learn which means that I have more variety in my daily meals!
