There’s nothing quite like the new year to give you a kick start in starting new healthy habits. Many of us set goals for the new year, but are often unrealistic based on our current lifestyle. It’s important to set realistic goals, achievable by implementing structure, routine and a few accessories to ease us into a fresh start.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through our top 5 tips on how you can start off your new year right by making your goals easier and convenient.

1. Home Cooked Meals

For so many reasons, home cooked meals are always better. Knowing what goes into your body is already making healthier choices, plus it saves you money! When starting your culinary adventures, you want to make sure you’re properly prepared, and investing in quality pieces will help ease you into it and make it more enjoyable.

Cookware is where your cooking skills can shine through! Whether you’re looking to grill or toast on the stove or slow cook a roast, Le Creuset pieces make everything more fun with colourful enamelled pieces, easy to clean non-stick items and quality stainless steel pieces to elevate your cooking.

Cookbooks

If you struggle like so many others to come up with creative and delicious recipes, a cookbook is your perfect solution. With a variety of options, find one that can adapt to what you like such as Greek food, classic and reimagined Italian dishes, vegan alternatives and so many more! This will also help you in your grocery list for the week instead of going back every two to three days!

Quality Knives

Next is knives. Sharpening your knives is obviously a must every few weeks, making sure you don’t struggle cutting into your meats, veggies or fruits, but it’s also important to get the proper knives for different tasks. For example, you shouldn’t use a long-serrated bread knife for your meats. Learning the purpose of your knives and keeping them sharp will help tremendously in the kitchen.
