Once I finally acquired cooking skills I was incredibly grateful and feel that way about it every day. I don’t take it for granted as I know of many people who also never learned how to cook or experiment in the kitchen.
And that is exactly why I included it in my 8 Step Program; Step 5 is Healthy Cooking. I feel very strongly about the health benefits that come from cooking meals for yourself and family.
My desire is to make it fun and to not get hung up on recipes. There are so many healthy food swaps that once you learn them you will feel more like experimenting. Some of the best ideas, meals and recipes come from playing in the kitchen. One of my favorite lines is that you’ll find nutrition when cooking in your kitchen!
Kava is native to the islands of the South Pacific and is a member of the pepper family. The roots of the kava plant contain compounds called kavalactones which are responsible for many of kava’s beneficial effects. Pacific cultures traditionally use the kava drink during rituals and social gatherings. They have used kava in ceremonies to bring about a state of relaxation.
