Make A Budget Meal A Comfort Food
I grew up very poor. Every meal we had was a budget meal.
But some meals (like spaghetti noodles with a little bit of tomato sauce) were always associated with happiness, with celebration, with fun and laughter.
And now, when I need comfort, I make those ‘budget meals.’
Because they aren’t budget meals in my mind. They are comfort meals, happy meals, meals that remind me of fun and laughter and they make me feel smile when I eat them.
We can all do this.
A budget friendly soup can become a comfort meal, a source of happiness, if we always pair it with bad joke telling. A stir fry made from leftover, wilting vegetables can be a celebration if we always cook and serve it to music.
Associate joy with a budget friendly meal and, during tough times, that joy will remain.
This is an investment in future you. And future you deserves this happiness.
