HOME MADE FOOD ANY DAY AND ANY TIME

Cover image created using canva

I prefer home cooked meals to take out any time any day. Although there are few moments when nothing can be done but you just have to order takeouts because of a stressful day or something. There is a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction that comes with prepping your meals by yourself and enjoying it wholly , knowing it took your time , energy and love to prepare it. Something about home made meals is that it makes me in control of whatever I am making. I can control the size and portion of what to make, the amount of ingredients that would be healthy and sufficient for me, how I would love to be served and how I would love to eat my meals either by devouring it with spoon or my bare hands.

One good thing about cooking your own food is about the health benefits it offers. You are able to cook with natural spices and moderately use ingredients to make them tasty. In home made meals you are sure that your groceries are fresh and healthy unlike when you eat takeouts , sometimes you are unsure of what must have been added. I remember one time I got take out from a restaurant, you would want to believe that with how expensive their food was, it would taste so good and nourishing but reverse was the case, as the food was a disaster. The painful thing was when I ate a full cube of Maggi spice in the food. It was so disheartening because the ingredients were too excessive and could mess with your body functions and increase body toxins. It was so sad because the money used in buying that would have been more than enough if I had gone to the market to get the fresh stuffs myself and made it at home.

In regards to that, cooking your meals are always budget friendly as you can make anything within you means and you would still have extra. What these food vendors charge for a plate of food these days , if you depend on it for your breakfast, lunch and dinner, you would definitely go broke and have no savings. Back then in school, a friend of mine (guy) was always the I can't cook kind of person so he always ate out, he learnt his lesson when he goes broke at the middle of the semester.

I love my food healthy because of the many sickness one can contact from eating unhealthy foods this is why I don't depend on take outs. Some can be harmful and use stale ingredients or expired ones. But when I make my meals I am sure of what is made.

The thing I love about home made food is that I can eat it the way I like but when you dine out, you get to do the formal method of eating with forks and knives and for some kind of dishes , this can be uncomfortable. I love cooking and making my meals, it gives me a feeling of satisfaction and nourishment afterwards, it allows me to try new stuffs, recipes and methods. Thus, experimenting at my leisure and expanding my culinary skills has been helpful.
