The 10 Cookbooks I Gave My Kids When They Left Home — Life in the Kitchen

My kids aren’t that young anymore. Two are in college and one is in her waning moments of high school. Now that my oldest two live off campus for the very first time and have their own full kitchens, it was time to start their cookbook library, so I bought them their first 10. Now, I realize that they don’t consult books often. They text me or FaceTime me when they have questions and sometimes after they search something online, they call me to see what I think (I don’t lack for opinions).

But having a kitchen meant they would have plenty of cooking opportunities, and me and my opinions shouldn’t be the end-all-be-all. I know that the best way to learn is to be taught by many people, in many ways, with many approaches, and many angles. It was now, without a doubt, my charge as parent to focus on what I like to do best of all: to teach them, to show them, to offer them the best, most reliable information, and then to let them do it. I want them to have books that I know they will use so they can, hopefully, learn to treasure the value of cooking from a book.

Be Nice and Share!

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
