The August issue of Real Simple magazine has an article on simple cooking by using only three ingredients. I’m all for using as few ingredients as you can get away with and still maintain great flavor and nutrition. I also like easy and basic. Anything to get you in the kitchen to cook for your family is a good thing.
If making recipes with only three ingredients will do that great. However, not everything that is nutritious and delicious has only three ingredients. I can’t sugar coat or hide the fact that cooking from scratch takes time and effort. Sometimes that dinner will take an hour, sometimes 90 minutes, and other times only 35 minutes. The point is to cook for all of the benefits cooking at home provides.
When you cook dinner at home, you can improve your health, create quality family time, and save money. Those are significant benefits and if your family isn’t worth your time and effort to gain those benefits than who is?
Yes, cooking does take time, but it is time you can plan. The most important thing to understand is that cooking is easier than you think it is. You don’t have to be in agony for those 35 or 60 minutes. You don’t have to approach the kitchen with apprehension because there is no one you have to impress. There is no right way to cook. You just need to be able to cook a meal that your family will eat. Recipes don't have to be written with difficult terms or require complex techniques. You can make a delicious, nutritious meal even if you hate to cook or don’t know how to cook. In Let’s Cook Tonight, America
Cooking is easier than you think and you and your family are worth the time and effort it takes.
