    49: Having Fun in the Kitchen

    Often, going to the kitchen to cook feels like a chore, yet it is something that is for the good of your body. With good nutrition and cooking the pay off is a healthy body, but often something prevents you from enjoying the task of cooking. It could be time, inclination, not sure what you really are doing etc. In this podcast we explore ways to take the chore out of cooking and make it really fun. I talk about  Why don’t you like cooking  1. Feel lonely in the kitchen 2. Was never taught how to cook 3. Past trauma associated with cooking  Make and find time Have some fun  ~ set the scene ~ imagine and pretend ~ take photos ~ say positive affirmations ~ dance around when you are cooking And so much more.    For full show notes go to www.veets.com.au/48 For the pepita sprinkle www.veets.com.au/3  To work with me email info@veets.com.au or go to www.veets.com.au Hope you enjoy this episode  Let me know your thoughts in the comments.    Follow Veet on https://www.facebook.com/VeetKarenVegancookingandnutrition/ Have a fabulous week.

    46: What would you miss if you tried Veganuary

    Happy New Year, everyone.    Today's podcast, the first of 2026, yay,  is a little different because I'm doing it along with Jesika Dawnn, who did the vegan chef training and now has her own vegan business, and we're going to be talking about Veganuary, because right now it's Veganuary.  Maybe you don't know what Veganuary is, but after listening to this podcast, you will.  I asked subscribers what they would miss if they had a month of not eating any animal products. And we're also going to talk about that.  So in a moment, I'm going to introduce you to Jessica. And I'm so excited. You have met her before in another podcast. I'll put the link to that podcast in the show notes. And for the show notes of this podcast, it's www.veets.com.au/46. Yay.  Jesika and I talk about  What Veganuary is. How we became vegan.
