G’Day, I’m Sarah
I used to love cooking. Then I hated it.
Chronic pain, burnout and boredom are a powerful combination that drove me out of the kitchen and onto the food delivery apps. Once I got the ADHD diagnosis, a lot of things started to make sense. Why I would eat the same breakfast for weeks at a time and then never want to eat it again. Why I was making a big batch of something to avoid having to cook only to throw out most of it because just the sight of it would turn my stomach. Why I would be absolutely ravenous when I got home from work even though I’d eaten a good sized lunch.
Because I don’t have endless cash or a personal chef at my disposal, I’m trying to get back into my kitchen and prepare at least some food myself. This blog is going to share some of the things I’ve found helpful and plenty of honesty about my kitchen fails.
Some disclaimers straight out of the gates:
I’m not a mental health professional or any kind of dietician or nutritionist, so please don’t take my words as medical advice.
I hate diet culture and topics like weight loss and body image are a hard no from me.
My apartment is messy and I’m a bit embarrassed about that. Please enjoy this pristine stock image instead.
Free Palestine.
Always was, always will be.
