![[GIVEAWAY] #MastercardAmbassador - Before the pandemic, my father would host bi-weekly dinners for our entire family. Picture this, 12 adults and 11 grandkids for a total of 23 people sitting around a large make-shift table my father constructed in his basement just for these occasions. We looked forward to these meals because they were slow cooked and made with lots of love by my Father’s partner who is the greatest cook - much different from the meals I would stressfully throw together after work and then eat standing up in my kitchen, alone.
During the pandemic, we couldn’t continue our bi-weekly family dinners and I missed this feeling of enjoying slow-cooked meals and eating with people I love. So, I committed to developing and learning recipes that I never had time to learn or make before. Traditional bread, pizza dough, risotto, soups, and the list goes on. I rediscovered my passion for learning culinary techniques that I felt I didn’t have time for before the pandemic. I even learned how to make beer! I shared all of these new found recipes on social media and my blog. Not only that, I would sit at a table and started to actually enjoy the food with my boys and I would even drop my new creations off at my siblings houses to try. They would also do the same - it was so fun to critique each other’s dishes! My siblings and I would take turns dropping off dishes to each other, which served as a way to stay connected to my family.
This art of slowing down and enjoying the cooking process has brought me so much rediscovered joy. All the family dinners we missed has made me truly appreciate the value of meal time, taking the time to learn new dishes and techniques and sharing and enjoying them with the people I love. This to me is #priceless.
I've partnered with @mastercardca and would love to hear what’s #Priceless to you, and how that may have changed over the past year. Comment for your chance to win a $1,000 Mastercard prepaid card to create an experience that's #Priceless to you.
