Know somebody that needs to graduate to homecooking? This list of reasons to learn to cook will get them in the kitchen today!
1. All of the smells
Imagine the smell of fresh chocolate chip cookies wafting into your home, then getting the pleasure of eating them too! No candle necessary, you’ll get your favorite foodie smells from your own “hard work” – aka, it’s even better.
2. Your favorite meals
Think of your absolute favorite meal your mom cooks. Now, think how kickass it would be to make that whenever the craving hits. Yeah, pretty awesome. (imagining mom’s chicken parm right now…mmm…)
3. Dates
Consider all the dates you’ll impress with your mad cooking skills. There’s nothing more intimate than a bottle of wine, candles and a homecooked meal. We’re guarantee your date will be awed by your effort into making the night special.
4. End the delivery dilemma
Chinese? Pizza? Subs? No longer face this tough decision every night. Plus, avoid the awful delivery wait time. Just cook at home instead!
5. $$$$$$
Did you know you could make 2-3 pizzas for the price of one delivery pizza? Think of how much money you could save just by eating homemade pizza (let alone any other meal) for a week! That’s money you could put towards paying loans, bills or saving for a trip. Pretty awesome right?! Also, leftovers make for great work lunches, which saves money too!
6. Giving gifts
From birthday cakes to homemade candies, cooking for someone is a really thoughtful, unique, wallet-friendly and delicious gift!
7. Eat healthier
Yeah, we’ve talked about pizza a lot, but cooking makes you think more about what you’re putting in your body. Plus, you can take some comfort food recipes and sub in lower-calorie options.
8. Ditch instant food
Ramen? Blue box macaroni and cheese? Frozen dinners? They’ll all be things of the past…or you can have a nostalgic moment and “treat” yourself.
9. Spice up your life
People of the world, spice up your life! Aka, start exploring new foods from different cultures, try “scary” flavors and more!
10. A forever skill
Cooking is a skill that will stay with you forever and you’ll be able to pass it on to your children and grandchildren. That’s pretty magical if you ask me.
