WEEKLY ARTICLE
Cooking Healthy Food for Yourself is Hard Work!
I want to write about this subject this week, because during the two weeks that we were just closed, I did some serious cooking for myself!
And the memory of that is fresh and vivid!
When Wholly Macro is open for business, we have a team of people who help us cook. We have shoppers, grocery unpackers, vegetable choppers, chefs, and a clean-up crew.
But when Wholly Macro is closed, it is just the two of us: Jaime and myself.
And during this past closure, Jaime was out of town, so it was just me. And I have to admit, that the thought of doing all of the above and more for myself, was a bit daunting!
I know that I always advise all of you to order extra food from our delivery service, to freeze for use while we are closed.
And I most definitely did that for myself too.
I followed my own advice, and I am so glad that I did!
But I wanted to cook for myself each day as well.
I wanted to see exactly what it takes to live life without the Wholly Macro lean mean cooking machine / delivery service fully cranked up and operating.
Because when we are open and operational, it is all about the kitchen for Wholly Macro.
We live, eat, breathe, and yes, even sleep in our kitchen.
The sun literally rises and sets in our kitchen.
And we have lots of help!
But when we are closed, and our routine goes offline, and our help goes away, and it isn't ALL about the kitchen and food, it does become a bit more challenging to cook enough healthy food to get the variety of foods that Wholly Macro prepares, into our daily diet.
Even for us!!
And variety is SO important.
We have written about this before.
There are just SO many nutrients in each and every natural plant based food that grows on this planet.
Known and yet to be discovered nutrients.
If we don't get as many varieties of vegetables, grains, and legumes into our body as possible, each and every day, we can't possibly get all of the nutrients that we need.
|
And food science becomes more and more clear about the fact that plant based nutrients protect against disease.
We humans (and even our pets) are living longer lives than the human race has ever experienced.
And yes, some of that is because of knowledge and education, nutritional supplementation, and modern medicine.
But much of it is because of our knowledge and accessibility to a wide variety of plant-based foods.
There is much evidence that people who live in areas with limited accessibility to fresh produce, and / or people with unhealthy diets, incur far more health issues and shorter life spans than people who are able to eat well.
But eating well is not simple!!
When Wholly Macro is closed, and we fall off of our food centric routine, it becomes challenging to even fit cooking into our lives at all.
Again, even for us, "the pro's"
When we are closed, we do a lot of work. But it is not food and kitchen related work.
It is more home repair work, computer upgrade work, and other things that take us away from the kitchen. Whereas when we are open, our work puts us right IN the kitchen. And even with whatever work we do when closed, we still do not put in a 40 plus hour work week, which is what we do when we are open for business, and what we know many of you do as well.
I just do not know how anyone living a busy life, raising children perhaps, and working full, or even part time, can possibly fit real cooking, from scratch, (not microwaving packaged foods), into the mix.
Now: I like to think of myself as an experienced cook.
But it really took some serious time, effort, and planning to cook for myself, consistently, each and every day while on my own while Jaime was in Colombia, especially while having many other things to do during those two weeks besides JUST cooking. And it was not just the cooking! I had to fit the shopping in as well. Food shopping is time consuming!!
|
The stores and parking lots are SO crowded. The traffic to and from the store is very challenging. And it is really hard to find all of the variety of ingredients, especially fresh produce, and especially in just one store.
And to cook well, and especially to create enough variety, you absolutely MUST have a wide array of ingredients on hand.
And fresh produce needs to be just that: Fresh.
So it is a constant back and forth juggling act: Traffic, crowded parking lots, crowded produce aisles, lines at the cash register, couldn't find everything, thus the need to go to another store, rinse, and repeat!!
And the cooking has not even yet begun.
First you must drive home, carry the groceries in, unpack the groceries and put them away, REST, and then begin cooking.
Forget about a social life!!
And did I mention the cleaning up afterwards??!!
I found myself longing for an easy, but HEALTHY, convenient way to get the food that I desired to eat, the food that my very life depends on, onto my plate and into my body, without having to cook it for myself every single day!!!
Wholly Macro was what I was looking and searching for.
Thankfully, I had a freezer full of Wholly Macro food. And believe me, I used plenty of my frozen Wholly Macro food stash to supplement the fresh food that I was making for myself each day.
I don't know how long I could have gone on cooking for myself without the help from Wholly Macro! And I LIKE to cook.
But it was more work, and more challenging than I expected, to run my household, busily work, exercise, clean, sleep, garden, do minimal socializing, AND shop and cook.
I did find a cooking groove. I did find a routine. But it was rigid!! I had to start cooking at a certain time of day each day in order to fit the cooking in, eat in a timely matter, and get the whole shebang all done with and cleaned up, so that I could get on with the other necessary things in my life.
Here are a few of the meals that I prepared for myself:
|
|
|
Miso Soup, Udon Noodles with Shiitakes and Cilantro, Wild Salmon and Salad |
|
|
|
Miso Soup, Forbidden Temple Black Rice, Hokkaido Adzuki Beans, Hijiki, Lacinato Kale, Mochi, Sauerkraut, Salad and Nori Sheet
|
|
|
| | Rice Croquette, Black Beans, Hijiki, Salad, Sauerkraut and Mochi |
|
|
| |
Brown and Wild Rice, Black Beans,
Kabocha Squash, Arame, Salad with Avocado,
Sauerkraut and Mochi
|
|
|
I found myself expressing gratitude that I already knew HOW to cook.
I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to cook when one does not know how to prepare healthy food from scratch, and / or does not enjoy cooking, and / or does NOT have the time to cook. What became most evident to me during this past closure of Wholly Macro's, first and foremost, is the magnitude of the service that we provide. The energy that it takes to cook healthy food. Cooking for yourself is HARD work! In the above mentioned longing for a way to get healthy and varied food into my body a little more easily, I totally longed for Wholly Macro. I missed our delivery service, because we rely on it, the same as our clients do. And when I read our menus, I am so impressed by them. Our dishes ARE the super foods that we all need to eat each and every day of our lives. There is no substitute. We do not want to have the ailments, however large or small, that we all see so many people suffering from. And so much of it stems from the lack of a consistent and healthy daily diet. So I guess that what I am saying, is that during our last closure, I really missed the convenience and quality of Wholly Macro's cooking! We have a team of cooks here, and together, we are able to get the tremendous array of perfectly orchestrated, varied, and balanced foods to you each week. But little old me, on my own, without my team. Wow. I would say that it is without question, IMPOSSIBLE to cook the way that we cook here at Wholly Macro, just for yourself, week in and week out, on any kind of long term basis, without your entire life literally revolving around your kitchen. And even then, it is doubtful that you could get the variety of food into your diet that Wholly Macro prepares, which is the very food that is truly necessary for optimal health. With that in mind, please gaze upon our Wholly Macro delivery menu, below. And knowing all that you now know about the importance of a consistent and varied daily diet, and how justifiably hard it is to provide for that for yourselves, we hope that you enjoy, and reap the health benefits, of the energy charged food that we prepare for you here at Wholly Macro. Yay team Wholly Macro!

Here's some feedback from a consultation client..... " three years ago I discovered that I had breast cancer. I had heard of Macrobiotics years ago. I didn't understand the concept but immediately I knew that that would be the route that I would pursue. But where to go and who to see was the question. Thank God for reading the macrobiotic newsletter. For in the newsletter there was an article about Gayle Stolove. I just felt her strength and passion burn through the page that I was reading. I immediately made an appointment to see her and although I was still so frightened, I felt so comfortable talking with Gayle. Gayle guided me through the whole process. I thought that the macrobiotic way of life would be boring and just eating rice. Well, I love the foods that I eat and I just feel good about it all. You see, after the surgery, you are sort of left on your own.You have to make your own decisions, etc. Everyone gives you different advice as what to eat, what to do, etc. Doctors don't understand what the patient is going through nor do they understand what kind of diet they should follow. I adopted Gayle as my guardian angel. You can't find that with any nutritionist or doctor. I love receiving her weekly e-mailed newsletters. They are so full of wonderful knowledge and beautiful healthy recipes. Gayle is a remarkable human being. She truly cares for her clients and gives them her all, one hundred percent of the time. Gayle has been there and therefore she is so compassionate and dedicates her life to helping people like me....." a cancer survivor |
