Cooking at home is fun and good for family bonding time. Besides, you also get the opportunity to select your ingredients and eat healthy. You could limit your food portions, salt intake and even add more greens to your diet. 

In the day, parents would be busy at work while the kids would be spending time at school. When families have dinner together at home later in the evening or at night, they will get a chance to bond. Having family conversations will let you stay updated on what they are doing, feeling or going through. 

When you choose to cook at home, you would be able to prepare a budget for the ingredients needed for your dishes. You will end up spending lesser money when you decide to cook your meals at home. 

Besides getting to save some money on meals, you would also be able to choose ingredients of the best quality when you head to the grocery store. You could also selectively choose healthy ingredients to prepare nutritious meals. 

Most importantly, you could be rest assured as the food you prepare at home is hygienic. When preparing food, you could do some research and learn more about food. You could also gather recipes and cook variety of delicious meals that are healthy. 

If you are too busy to cook daily, you could cook large batches of food and store them in the freezer. You could heat up the food whenever you are hungry or during meal times. You could also get creative and add other ingredients to your food to make meal time more fun.
