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. That last one might sound gross, but it’s actually incredible and adds a lot of nutritional punch to an otherwise bland meal.

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. As a culture, it seems that everything is celebrated with a meal to a restaurant. I meal plan once per week.

The best place to prepare your food is your own kitchen, so you have more control over what goes into your meals. The majority of your meals should be prepared from scratch using fresh ingredients, preferably in season. Experiment with some international dishes for variety; they are often very healthy alternatives.

Aim for gradual weight loss by eating lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, including protein with every meal and snack, drinking plenty of plain water and getting a little exercise every day. Snacking and missing meals lead to weight gain and lack of fitness and concentration. Get the whole family involved in meal preparation.

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. Ronzoni Quick Cook. Share a quick, three-minute, homemade meal you would whip up for your family.

Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 20 or until the kale is tender. I buy the big bunches of kale when they go on sale at Whole Foods and easily get 2-3 meals out of them and I ADORE the roasted frozen corn at Trader Joe’s. bag at my store, but I easily get 3-4 meals out of one bag. I’m not a professional cook!

Cook at home using fresh ingredients – home-cooked food is generally healthier, more nutritious, less fattening and uses less energy. Involve the whole family in menu planning and meal preparation. Processed food uses vast amounts of energy in its production, making it an unsustainable commodity.

We all need to eat on a daily basis, but you can cut back on your dining budget by eating at home. Paying for prepared meals is convenient and tasty, but it’s also more expensive and usually less healthy. When cooking at home, try to reduce meat consumption to save money.

We cook at home almost everyday. I am not the neatest cook. Finish is such a great time saver after a messy meal; it’s designed so you don’t even have to pre-rinse your dishes before running a cycle. Finish is different. Finish is one of my MUST HAVE products. I tend to make a mess of my pots and pans.

Having fresh herbs on hand is a delicious way I like to spice up my cooking at home. If you bring in a good harvest of fresh garlic, you may find yourself using it for every meal. It’s a staple of many South American and Asian cooking styles, so you’re sure to find plenty of recipes that call for it.

Families don’t/can’t take time to cook at home from scratch. With the advancing numbers of two income families, often there isn’t anyone at home to start the meal. We ate basic meals at home. Mom was a stay-at-home Mom. We waited until there was a meal. We drank water and tea.

It compares McDonald’s prices to Home-Cooked Meal prices. One of the main arguments people give for just getting Fast Food is that it is cheaper and quicker than cooking at home. This graphic shows the cost and nutrition of a meal for four at McDonald’s versus two different home cooked options.
