We all know that cooking at home is better for both our physical and fiscal health. I get it, when you get home after a long day, you just want to sit down, relax, and have the food come to you.

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 had homemade sauce stashed away in my freezer that I thawed earlier in the day.

Not every recipe on the site will always be LIGHT, but it will be homemade, which is where I believe healthy eating starts. Cooking at home gives you complete control over your ingredients, so you know what you are putting into your family’s bodies. I’m also a foodie, which means I love delicious food !

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. It’s many families first response when asked “what do you want to do for dinner tonight?”
