Hello friends of Hiveleaners . It has been awhile. Hope we are all good especially with health. Today I join you guys in hl114E2 topic:

If you are a food 🥘 lover you will know that homemade foods taste different. Its not that the outside food is not palatable or the fast food 🍱 not delicious but there is something that draws me to home cooked foods.

Although I was raised in a traditional way, where family foods are prepared with weekly rooster, and this made things so much easier since everyday has its own food arrangements through the list that is placed in the kitchen.

And while in the boarding school 🏫, we were also given the chance to cook foods by ourselves, so this really helped me so much by always packaging foods once I have the opportunity to go for the 2 weeks home visit we usually have. Then I will ask my mother to help me buy few things we don’t have at home. It was one thing that made me to always want to cook what I desire, especially some particular foods you may not get exactly the way you want it from fast foods outlets and food vendors.

And apart from cooking and enjoying good quality unique foods at home, homemade foods are what we prepared by ourselves, knowing the source of what we are eating is important, and home made foods cost less when compared to the foods we buy from fast foods or the street restaurants. Because these outside food sellers and the fast food outlets are established to make profits. And its not just making profits, but three times reaping off from those that patronizes them. I know some people enjoy eating out maybe due to time factor of coming home after the days work and going into the kitchen to cook again, but we can device to cook during the weekend and store them in the refrigerator. Come back from work and use the services of the microwave to heat them up. For me the basic I need to prepare during the weekend is the sauce for rice 🍚, spaghetti 🍝 , boiled yam 🍠 or beans. Once I make sauce over the weekend and refrigerate it, the family is good to go.

However we should also note 📝 how outside foods hardly fills one up. Its either you spend more money buying more to get satisfaction or be ready to eat half chop which will make and cost 💲 one to spend extra after few hours of eating. Have you every thought of a cup of rice costing 1$ dollar now can serve you up to three cookings if you are alone. All you need do is just buy some few ingredients. A plate of food now in a moderate restaurant should be costing almost 1$ which will still not satisfy you properly. Individually, our income differs just like how our spendings differs. Its all a matter of choice and that is why I prefer homemade Food, cutting cost 💲 for my family and trying to in-steal cooking 🥘 at home in my children just the way my mother in-steal cooking in me.

Thank you friends for reading. Love ❤️.
