A free book that you have to wait for is better than one you have to pay for. Cook at home. Cooking is really not hard, it just takes some organization. Instead of eating out, why not experiment with some recipes at home. There is no need to go to the big box book store to get your hands on your favourite authors.

When time is of the essence, swinging by the drive-through for dinner seems like the best option, but I prefer to cook at home as much as possible. I recently did the “Countdown to Dinner” with Ronzoni Quick Cook pasta. I wanted to see if really only took 3 minutes – and how it tasted.

Food from restaurants can cost significantly more than food cooked at home. A plate of pasta with red sauce can cost less than a dollar if made at home; at most restaurants it will cost you well over $10. I’m not arguing that you should never eat out; I love the stress-free, mess-free meals that restaurants provide.

People lived happy and healthy lives before the advent of the huge range of cleaning products that currently adorn our supermarket shelves; their clothes, bodies and homes were perfectly clean as well.

The best meals and snacks are those you make at home because you can control what goes into them. I know you’re busy, but cooking at home is really beneficial for you and your family, on many levels, so try and rearrange your schedule to fit this in as often as you can. Get the whole family involved in meal preparation.

By cooking at home you save money, eat a more balanced and nutritional diet and get the enjoyment of being in control of creating what you and your family eat. Walking is the best exercise there is – it’s free, you can do it anywhere and everyone has the right equipment for it.

We cook at home almost everyday. I am not the neatest cook. I don’t like to give a personal testimonial, because quite frankly if I don’t use it, I am not going to pretend I do. Finish is different. Finish is one of my MUST HAVE products. I tend to make a mess of my pots and pans.

We shopped at garage sales, turned down the heat, combined errands to use less gas, didn’t buy a lot of prepared food, cooked at home and the like. If it couldn’t be done for free, we didn’t do it or did it very, very seldom. Peggy: Oh yes! Some of the things we did back then were laughable even back then.
