Food Quality, Not Food Quantity-Day 2

3 Ways to Save on the Healthiest Foods
The biggest cpmplaint against organic food is that — organic foods cost more. Here are three suggestions for ways to make room in your budget for the most healthful real food you can find.

1. Cut back on expensive overprocessed foods that don’t pack the nutritional punch per penny that real foods do.

2. Put your money where it matters. From the money you saved on #1, splurge on the important substitutions: wild salmon instead of farm-raised, organic coffee instead of the pesticide-laden regular stuff, the perfect locally grown tomato instead of the tasteless kind. On a nutrition per serving basis, it’s actually a very, very good dollar deal.

3. Get back into the kitchem-reaquaint yourself with your stove. Foods prepared at home cost less than carry-out or processed foods. Often, you’ll spend less time making dinner than you would have spent in line waiting for a carry out order.

I must say that I suck in the kitchen. I can just do the basics. My woman is the queen of the kitchen for me. But I want to know more because I don't want to be always expecting her in the kitchen. I want to be able to treat her in ways other than taking her to a restaraunt.

I for one don't allow a man in my kitchen. Y'all do too many strange things and what not ie dropping food on the floor, making a huge mess etc.

But Debo Hobo, some of us do want to try. At least I want to help my woman in the kitchen.

This is true some don't bother to try, but I'd for me would rather the dude just stay out of my kitchen.

I am sure you wouldn't mind if he at least cleaned the dishes... Right?

Debo Hobo said...

But the problem is more often then not he doesn't wash the dishes, clean the stove, sweep the floor or put away the leftovers so I'd just rather he take me out to eat.

I am sure he would. Hopefully he has done it for you already. But then he would have been in your kitchen all-women zone
