As we step into 2026, my wish for you is health, calm, and balance — starting with your kitchen.
Home cooking is more than preparing food: it helps you eat well, reduce stress, and care for both yourself and the planet. Cooking mindfully is a simple way to combine health, eco-responsibility, and everyday well-being.
Simple habits for health and eco-friendly living
-
Freeze bread in slices
Use only what you need and reduce food waste. -
Use fresh herbs wisely
Freeze chopped herbs with a little olive oil, or use stems in soups and sauces. -
Freeze leftovers in small portions
Soups, grains, or sauces become easy, healthy meals and prevent waste. -
Plan gently to reduce stress
Repeat simple recipes, cook extra when possible, and lower daily mental load. -
Keep meals simple and nourishing
Soup and bread, eggs with vegetables, yogurt with fruit — small, mindful meals that support both health and sustainability. -
Compost food scraps
Vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, and other compostable waste can be returned to the soil, closing the loop and reducing your environmental footprint.
My 2026 wish for you ✨
A kitchen that nourishes your body, mind, and the planet.
Meals that support health, reduce stress, minimize waste, and give back to the Earth.
Home cooking is one of the best ways to care for yourself, your loved ones, and the environment.
Happy New Year 2026!
