Kitchen Cordon Bleu

06/11/09

Girl in an apron | Kitchen cordon bleu Being from an Italian family, my mom and grandmothers have practically spent their lives cooking. Homecooked food was a part of my upbringing. So you’d think I would know my way around a kitchen. My sisters certainly do. But I think the cooking gene missed me.

Only since my late twenties, when I started to clean up my eating with wholesome, healthful food, did I start to take an interest in cooking and baking. But I kept it simple using props like a rice cooker, steam basket and George Foreman Grill. I actually find cooking meditative. If only I could find more time.

Recently, my cooking practice has taken a bit of a hiatus but I have goals to get back on track and finally navigate this equally loved and hated room in my home. (Things have been known to get a little clumsy – think, big spills).

Luckily, IIN has supplied me with an arsenal of recipes. Technically speaking, I could try something new every day of the year and still not have scratched the surface. Also to my satisfaction, IIN’s approach is much like mine — simple techniques for simple food. This makes the task of cooking much easier to digest.

What I love most about cooking at home is that I know exactly what is in my food and can guarantee the quality (even if not the taste right now). Homecooked food is much easier to digest and I feel happier and more peaceful eating it because I know it was made with love and intention. And during the times when I have consistently cooked at home, the cost savings have shown.

Sure I’ve had some trials and tribulations along the way. Like the time I called my mom in tears, hands emblazoned in red and burning with pain, after chopping several varieties of peppers for fresh salsa. Lesson learned: wear gloves. And I’ve had to get creative with some of the cramped wallspace landlords have tried to pass off as kitchens i.e. mixing brownie batter in bed.

But I’ve also had some grand successes. My delicious and nutritious ‘vegan’ banana bread comes to mind! Of course this required a couple of failed attempts before perfecting the recipe. But what I’ve learned along the way is that the kitchen can be a playground and it’s the trial and error aspect of cooking and baking that make it such a creative outlet and welcomed escape for me.

So fasten your aprons and Bon Appetit!

Here’s an unpopular opinion … Your workout i Here’s an unpopular opinion … 

Your workout is not the Holy Grail … your nutrition is!

So many women I know tend to panic when they miss a workout or can’t fit it in, but the saying that “weight loss is made in the kitchen and muscles are made in the gym” is TRUE!

Can’t workout? Nail nutrition. I promise you’ll make more progress toward your goal doing that instead of throwing the day away. 

Let’s shift our mindset: We don’t eat to earn our food (nutrition) and you can’t out-exercise a bad diet. 

So yes, workouts are important for converting fat to muscle, for cardiovascular health and for their mental benefits. But if you miss a day or a week, your focus should be on how you’re fueling your body and not on feeling guilty for a few missed workouts. 

When you put the focus on nutrition you’re still more than halfway there!

➡️ Here’s a sneak peak at a TRIM meal plan. When you join you not only get done-for-you meal plans, but also workouts. Or you can eat your own food or do the workouts you already love. We have options to help you reach your goals!

TRUTH: CONSISTENCY IS THE NUMBER ONE REASON LADIES TRUTH: CONSISTENCY IS THE NUMBER ONE REASON LADIES SEE RESULTS IN TRIM 

Maybe in the past you’ve either had to follow a program perfectly to see results or believed you did, but that’s not the case for TRIM. 

TRIM is a multi-faceted program that combines fitness and nutrition to deliver results. 

And those results? That’s the MOTIVATION to keep going and make it a lifestyle!

What you need to know about TRIM:

-	TRIM is a lifestyle not a diet, so you can modify it and do it on vacation, over the Summer – whenever, wherever. We will help you make it work to fit your lifestyle. 

-	At its core, TRIM is a compilation of science-backed weight loss tactics that are proven to work. So, if you do the work, you will see results – and the best news is it doesn’t have to be perfect. 

-	As your Coach, I want to see you succeed. Even though it’s a group program, you get individual feedback and personalized attention according to your goals, preferences, and unique circumstances.
