I think every aspect of my life was a victim of perfection to be honest! It's hard for me to let go of it for sure, especially in my writing. However I recently heard of a study where photography students were split into two groups, one that would be evaluated solely on quality of their photos, the other one on quantity. At the end of the term, it turned out that the group focused on quantity had the better quality pictures. So, it makes you question that paralyzing focus we have on perfection. Maybe we'd all do better without its expectation looming in the back of our heads!
I love this! I love to cook, but I can never follow a recipe as written. I use recipes as guidelines that I “riff” on rather than follow exactly. My children always want me to write down the family recipes that they love, but I’m not sure how to measure a splash of this & a dash of that🤪. I am on an organic, whole food, GF cooking plan now. It’s been fun to experiment with new recipes that feed the body as well as the soul. And one of these days, I’ll get around to writing down recipes to pass down to my kids & grandkids.😉
As much as i love a pretty meal, i think it’s more important to focus on things that taste good and make people happy. I love her ideas of how to give up perfection in the kitchen
Jenna, thank you for the introduction to Kat! I love her permission for imperfection! And her focus on just being present. The mealtime moments really do matter. I like to think the meal time moments can include snacks together and breakfast together. It’s the togetherness that counts! Can’t wait to read her book and share it with families!
I've seen this somewhere else "Perfection is Fear in expensive shoes". 😊
I cook most days and I'm always attempting to use everything all the time. For time saving I love my pressure cooker.
I have to use this quote now; it speaks to me.
Seems like you have your priorities in the right place, with your family.
Love this trying to remind myself to be myself imperfections and all
This is a wonderful way to approach a full life; creating more joy than stress. 💕

Love Kat! She’s the epitome of progress over perfection - even though everything she touches is beautiful and amazing.
