One effective way to get motivated to cook every day is to plan ahead. Set aside some time to plan your meals for the upcoming week and make a grocery list based on those meals. This will help you avoid last-minute trips to the store and save you time and energy in the long run. Additionally, finding inspiration from recipes or cookbooks can help make cooking a more enjoyable and less daunting task.

As Julia Child once said, “Cooking is like love; it should be entered into with abandon or not at all.” Here are some interesting facts about the benefits of cooking:

• Cooking is a great way to relieve stress and improve mental health. Research has shown that cooking can have therapeutic effects and improve overall well-being.
• Home-cooked meals are typically healthier and more affordable than eating out. By cooking at home, you have control over what ingredients are used and can make healthier choices.
• Cooking can be a fun and social activity. Consider inviting friends or family over for a cooking night or taking a cooking class to learn new skills and meet new people.

Here is an example meal plan for the week:

Day	Breakfast	Lunch	Dinner
Monday	Greek yogurt with fruit and granola	Turkey and avocado sandwich	One-pot chicken and rice
Tuesday	Veggie omelet	Quinoa salad with veggies	Stir-fry veggies and shrimp
Wednesday	Scrambled eggs with whole wheat toast	Grilled chicken salad	Spaghetti and meatballs
Thursday	Smoothie bowl	Hummus and veggie wrap	Baked salmon with veggies
Friday	Peanut butter oatmeal	Leftover spaghetti and meatballs	BBQ pulled pork with sweet potato fries

By planning ahead and finding inspiration in new recipes, cooking every day can be a fun and enjoyable experience.
