CULINARY THERAPY😊

Hi Friends!

We’ve all experienced it. The dreaded fruitcake. Right?

Actually, I ❤️ most fruitcakes...

especially when someone else does the cooking 😂.

So, how about you? Are you a fan of Fruitcake? If not, here are some ideas for alternatives to fruitcake. (My first mother-in-law used to bake stollen every holiday season. It was delightful!)

To be honest, cooking is not on the top of my favorite things to do during the holidays.

It's not that I feel uncomfortable in the kitchen, I just don't enjoy cooking per se, but positive changes in my eating habits (thanks to Noom and some intrinsic motivation ), I've become more invested in meal time!

So.... let's talk Culinary Therapy!

In addition to being a strategy for proactive healthcare, culinary therapy can offer many benefits:

Stress relief

Improved social skills

Balance and coordination

Sensory awareness

Improved physical health

Enhanced ability to plan and organize

Time management skills

Relief from boredom

Improved memory, attention and focus

Self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment

What are your thoughts on cooking?

Blessings and Bounty,

Cindy
