Dear Chase,My family and I eat out quite a bit, but I love to cook. However, it always seems that I don’t have time to prepare meals and it always seems to cost less to take them to a restaurant. My question is how can I utilize my occasional free time to help cook healthy meals for my family, and how can I go about saving money while doing so? -Fast Food Exhausted MomDear FFE Mom,Well, for starters, eating out at a restaurant is not always a bad thing, and can actually be used as some great family bonding time; however, you don’t want to do it all the time.
