"If you can cook, money is not a problem. If you can cook - you can whip together a tasty and healthy meal in minutes, which is cheaper anything that you can get in Chief MacDonald. "- The Naked
The other day while shopping at the Mall, I heard a mother tell their children, "C'mon. Let MacDonald."
One of his sons, said: "I do not want to go to MacDonald's!"
To which she replied: "Well, come on. I have coupons.
With the current economic recession, sales of McDonald's - As well as those of other fast food restaurants - have increased significantly over time. Business is good - it's just the fat, rich, poor in nutrients "product" it is not.
However, any professional chef will tell you that "You can easily prepare, quick meal for your family that is nutritious, delicious - and cheaper - than any fast food out there. "
Chefs will tell you that for years have been listening their children's friends, saying, "Wow!" You always have these great meals at home - How can you afford? "
And the chef replied: "Actually - these foods are cheaper than any meal you can buy there - fast food - TV dinner - whatever."
IF YOU CAN cook at all - you can reduce costs dramatically FOOD - While increasing the nutritional quality ... YOU CAN DO IT ALL!
I've been a cook professional for over 30 years and have been doing just that.
