Cooking Resolutions You Can Make to Change Your Life

Posted on by butlervetinsurance

Now that the feasting season is over, you should make new changes to your kitchen-based lifestyle that will change your life for the better.

Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukkah, and New Years are all holidays on which we stuff our faces and go a bit overboard with calories. But now that these holidays are over, and you made resolutions to eat healthier, you can turn to the new chapter of your dietary habits. Here are a few cooking resolutions you can make to change your life for the better.

Cooking Resolutions

  1. Prepare Everything on Sunday
    Plan your meals a week ahead. This means buying your necessary groceries and doing some basic prep work. Cook potatoes and grains, wash and trim your vegetables, and stash everything in clear containers. When the weeknights come around, you may be surprised to find how much time you save during the busy nights.
  2. Sharpen Your Knives
    Nothing is more annoying than trying to cut anything with a dull knife. It squishes the food and leaves it looking sad and depressed. Purchase a quality knife sharpener to take away the dullness of your blades and make slicing as easy as cutting through butter.
  3. Try a New Recipe Once a Week
    Cooking the same thing every day can become taxing and outright boring. Go on YouTube and cook one new recipe every week. There are many channels that are dedicated to cooking, so find one that you like and subscribe for more delicious recipes.
  4. Snack on More Vegetables
    Instead of eating Fritos or Cheetos, snack on carrots, cucumbers, broccoli, bell peppers, and other vegetables. Remember, your brain craves sugar and may not be hungry.

Incorporate These Habits For A Healthier Life

Accomplishing Your Goals In 2015

January is almost over, which means it is time to reflect upon how well you are doing with accomplishing your New Year’s Resolutions. If you have set forth to incorporate healthy living habits in the New Year but are finding it more difficult than previously anticipated, try to add these habits for a healthier life into your routine:

  • How often do you reflect upon the good in life? To start feeling more positive each day, utilize a gratitude jar. Using a mason jar, simply write something that you are grateful each day and add it to your jar. Whenever you are feeling down, read some of your most gracious moments.
  • By human nature, we are always striving to learn more. In 2015, set forth to learn a new skill. Whether you choose to learn how to make homemade sushi or learn how to spin like a pro, learning a new skill will make for a healthier and happier New Year.
  • Even if you do not have weight loss goals, getting regular exercise is extremely important for our bodies. Strive to take a nightly walk after dinner each night to get your blood pumping!
  • Eating healthier in 2015 can be as simple as just cooking at home as opposed to eating out. Limit yourself to one lunch and one dinner meal at a restaurant and your body will be thanking you.
  • What is your weakness? Do you have a bad habit that brings you down? Do you have a sweet tooth? Do you smoke cigarettes? Do you indulge on soda daily? Make an effort in 2015 to replace one of your bad habits with a good one. For example, if your fix is soda, make an effort to drink fruit infused water instead.

We hope you start incorporating these habits for a healthy life and find success in 2015! Contact Stromsoe Insurance Agency for all of your California insurance needs. We will go above and beyond to provide you with ultimate security in all areas of your life.

Reviewing your Insurance Policy in the New Year

Posted on by butlervetinsurance

What a difference a year makes. In some ways this is good, in others, not so much. But whatever changes have occurred over the last 12 months, there’s a good chance they may impact your insurance options, and in many cases save you money. It is important for you to review your policy, and notify your agent of events and changes in your life in order to determine if there is something better out there for you and your family.

Having an independent insurance agency such as Stromsoe Insurance Agency take a look at your policies and see how they fit with your current life situation is a perfect way to go. Unlike an individual provider, Stromsoe Insurance Agency has the resources to compare policies from multiple companies so you can make a truly educated choice on what is best for you. That might mean switching insurance companies, or using the information you’ve gained to negotiate with your current provider.
