Less Eating Out... means MORE

We (John and Lindsay) love to cook.  I think most of our blog readers can say the same.  If you don’t like to cook (and you are still reading this), I think I can convince you to realize the benefits of getting in the habit.  Nothing gourmet or fancy…just cooking… instead of eating out.

With the rise of popularity of the Food Network and other cooking shows, there is a new interest in home cooking that has not been seen in a generation or more.  Would you agree?  There are a number of cookbooks, blogs, and food sites springing up EVERYWHERE that allow people like you and me to share cooking advice, chat, and view recipes.

 

We are truly witnessing an exploding trend happening all around us- cooking is cool !!!  This trend is shaping our lives, our buying habits, and our home economics.

Why is cooking becoming so popular?  I have a couple theories.  The economy is suffering… and all financial experts agree on one thing—the effect from the current recession is

“that habits, values and priorities
are being changed fundamentally

in families that will go far beyond any recovery…

…the move to a more frugal, home centered lifestyle is not temporary, but is shaping families for years to come.”

 

I know your budget is being stretched, just like mine.... are you searching for ways to free up precious budget dollars? Try eating out less and looking for good ways to enjoy your favorite foods at home.

Do you feel the need to simplify and strip the unnecessary from your life? Reset your values and priorities. There is nothing that signifies “home centered” more than a family meal, prepared at home and enjoyed together.

Are you looking to rediscover lost home skills such as home repair, sewing and, most of all, cooking and baking? Commit yourself to cooking- really cooking for your family- and realize all of the benefits mentioned above.... AND join John and I as we host the
