Eight Reasons to Cook Tonight

Why cook your own food?

We all have pressures - the school run, the pick-up run, the husband run. Planning a list, shopping then preparing and cooking - sometimes it all seems too much effort!

Next time you're tempted to pick up that ready meal in the supermarket, think on these things:

1. When you cook a meal, you put a little of your own heart into it.
2. This can be a downside or an up (glass half full, anyone?) but you can cater for the family just as they want it.
3. You know how much salt and sugar you have put into a meal.
4. You know how fresh the ingredients are that you have used.
5. You know how long the meal has been made. (Lead times on pre-prepared food can be scary!)
6. You save money
7. You add ingredients or not according to your family's tastes. (Some people hate garlic!)
8. You're in control of your family's eating.

I'm sure there are more and there may be later...!
