Hi! friends ,
Looking for a ways to find fun while cooking here are some tips and tricks which can make cooking fun and interesting
Put on some music and first clean the whole kitchen.
Put everything on a proper place so that whenever you want you can take it from there no need of wasting time in finding that thing.

Make a list of recipes which your family members like , what is common in them, a perfect menu plan And then start preparing your menu (menu planner software or any applications can be used there are many menu planner available on internet)
While preparing your menu keep three things in mind available igredients, family members taste whether they like it or not and the third thing how much time it will take to cook
.
And then gather everything on the counter whatever recipe you want to prepare.
