Cooking Smart

CeceliaB

Learn to cook from scratch.  As my son calls it having "base" foods and making one's own special creations.  He watches his friends getting out on their own, and he is amazed at how much they depend on prepackaged foods and the microwave.  His observation that the way he was raised to prepare foods, means that he gets more good tasting food for his food budget...smart young man!
