I used to be a fast food type of eater. Because of the kind of job that I had before, I would rather eat outside than cook my own food simply because it's convenient. Now that I'm a SAHM, I prefer cooking food for my family.
This is a blog post about why you should cook your own food rather than buying outside.
1. It's way cost-effective
Go to the groceries or to the local public market and you'd be amazed with the variety of ingredients you can buy at a lesser price. You get both the quantity and quality you are looking for. I remember one time I complained about how expensive the serving in one restaurant when I can have a bigger and cheaper serving if I'd cook at home. Well, you don't just pay for the food but also pay for the place, the resto's name, and the convenience of not having to prepare the meals.
2. It's healthier
Think about the amount of junk food you are ingesting when you eat at some fast food chains. The foods are prepared with lots of artificial preservatives in it.
3. It's safer
You will be the one to cook it so you know that what you prepare or make is safe and clean. You'd be more at peace to know that your family is eating clean food.
4. Learn new things
Cooking at home can sometimes be challenging especially to me that I am not really good at making dishes. It's a challenge that I embraced gracefully by learning new recipes by asking friends and watching youtube.
5. Bringing family closer together
There's much joy in watching your family eat and enjoy the food you prepared yourself. You can also ask them what kind of meal they want for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Having conversation at the dining table can be a bonding moment too.
