By becoming a cook, you can leave processed foods behind

Growing up, I only knew how to cook spaghetti and chocolate chip cookies. I figured everything else was in the realm of gourmets, and then I went to work for Google, and I never really needed to cook.

But lately I got interested in cooking again and discovered that its surprisingly easy to cook delicious meals. Here are my staples: - Beef & veggie stir-fry (http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/beef-recipes/beef-and-veg... - substitute "cauliflower rice" for noodles for lower carbs) - Pan-fried salmon w/asparagus or green beans (cooked in butter, garlic, and salt)

I wish someone had shown me the joys of a frying pan and sea salt before. It's brilliant. I feel so gourmet now. ;)

As a side note, the website is Jamie Oliver, a major player in convincing people on eating healthy. If you haven't seen his TED Talk, I would encourage you to: http://www.ted.com/talks/jamie_oliver.html. He also starred in a reality-esque (not sure of the proper term, don't watch TV) TV-show called Food Revolution, attempting to bring healthy food to elementary schools.
