After the Nest Antoinette L Beeks

a) Starve

b) Eat takeout every day

c) Cook

These were my options after graduation. Dorm food and daily meals provided by family were no longer on the menu. Option A was a hard NO for me. I like food! Option B left my pockets and body depleted.




Maybe you're experiencing a little fear or anxiety at the thought of cooking your first meal. Similar to a baby bird after it leaves the nest, we too can find a way to survive.




After the Nest is a compilation of wisdom, strategies, and tips gained in pursuit of Option C.
