Does anyone else like to cook in their free time? I got into the habit of trying out cooking during this past fall when I started medication. I found that when I first started taking my meds and my body was still adjusting to them, I was experiencing a lot of fatigue and the general feeling of lacking energy or physical strength. I ended up staying home from classes on occasion because I was too tired or needed to 'save up' my energy for work. I decided to start cooking more often so that on days where I felt fatigued I could at least be productive in some way.
If anyone else likes to cook or wants to try, I love looking up and trying new recipes.
To start, here's a quick pasta I love making. Instructions are a little 'on the fly' because I don't generally measure when I make this, eheheh.
Boil water and cook pasta until limp, drain water. Add vodka sauce, sundried tomato, and artichokes and simmer on medium heat for approx. 8 minutes or until sauce is evenly coating everything. In a small dish, mix oil and vinegar and soak 4-5 balls of bocconcini until surfaces are coated. Put pasta on dish and top with cheese.
Optional side: boil 1/2 cup of broccoli in an inch of water and a teaspoon of garlic powder for 5-6 minutes and drain, season with salt, pepper and a splash of lemon juice.
Anyone else got any eats they love making?

- whole wheat spaghetti, I usually only need part of a package because I usually just make this for myself. Let's say no more 50g - pasta expands so much when you cook it anyway!
- 1/2 cup vodka sauce
- 1 container bocconcini cheese
- 2 tablespoons sundried tomato
- 1 artichoke heart, sliced into bite size chunks. (I usually buy mine in a jar from the grocery store ready to go)
- small dish of olive oil and balsamic vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup broccoli (optional)
