Know somebody that needs to graduate to homecooking? This list of reasons to learn to cook will get them in the kitchen today!<\/p>\n

1. All of the smells<\/H3>

Imagine the smell of fresh chocolate chip cookies wafting into your home, then getting the pleasure of eating them too! No candle necessary, you\u2019ll get your favorite foodie smells from your own \u201chard work\u201d – aka, it\u2019s even better. <\/p>\n

2. Your favorite meals<\/H3>

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\u2019s chicken parm right now…mmm\u2026)<\/p>\n

3. Dates<\/H3>

Consider all the dates you\u2019ll impress with your mad cooking skills. There\u2019s nothing more intimate than a bottle of wine, candles and a homecooked meal. We\u2019re guarantee your date will be awed by your effort into making the night special. <\/p>\n

4. End the delivery dilemma<\/H3>

Chinese? Pizza? Subs? No longer face this tough decision every night. Plus, avoid the awful delivery wait time. Just cook at home instead!<\/p>\n

5. $$$$$$<\/H3>

Did you know you could make 2-3 pizzas for the price of one delivery pizza? Think of how much money you could save<\/a> just by eating homemade pizza (let alone any other meal) for a week! That\u2019s 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!<\/p>\n

6. Giving gifts<\/H3>

From birthday cakes to homemade candies, cooking for someone is a really thoughtful, unique, wallet-friendly and delicious gift! <\/p>\n

7. Eat healthier<\/H3>

Yeah, we\u2019ve talked about pizza a lot, but cooking makes you think more about what you\u2019re putting in your body. Plus, you can take some comfort food recipes and sub in lower-calorie options. <\/p>\n

8. Ditch instant food<\/H3>

Ramen? Blue box macaroni and cheese? Frozen dinners? They\u2019ll all be things of the past…or you can have a nostalgic moment and \u201ctreat\u201d yourself. <\/p>\n

9. Spice up your life<\/H3>

People of the world, spice up your life!<\/i> Aka, start exploring new foods from different cultures, try \u201cscary\u201d flavors and more! <\/p>\n

10. A forever skill<\/H3>

Cooking is a skill that will stay with you forever and you\u2019ll be able to pass it on to your children and grandchildren. That\u2019s pretty magical if you ask me. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
