I want to learn how to cook properly and make simple recipes and don’t spend too much time looking for what to make everyday.
So I start looking into some recipes I can make with the instant pot that we have at home.
But then I can’t find certain ingredients in the local supermarket, or the ingredients are too expensive, so I start searching for other places to buy cheaper produce. Then I also start looking at what recipes don’t take too much time to make, and read about meal prep and such, and find communities and websites. And then I look at local classes for learning how to cook, but they are way too expensive and I’m not sure whether they will be any good, etc…
And so I spend hours and hours researching all these things, but I never actually start cooking or go to the grocery store for ingredients.
I’m now feeling tired and have no energy to actually do any cooking anymore. And I just have no clue where to get started.
It seems like I’m stuck thinking of how to do something the best way possible, instead of actually trying something. But when I want to try something, I have no idea where to even start.
Anybody experience the same sometimes?
You went down a rabbit hole and got overwhelmed, it happens to the best of us lol…
Try breaking down the big task in to smaller steps and focus only on the next step. Remember you’re only starting out, keep things simple at first as you get to know for yourself your likes and dislikes (advice from others is great, but taste is personal as is ability), cooking isn’t going anywhere!
I notice often I get stuck on the next step and don’t know how to do something, and that usually results in the browsing spree and me going down the rabbit hole.
Not sure how to avoid it really.
