5/19/2011 09:05:21 PM Report AbuseHome Cooking Rocks! Studies continue to report that fewer and fewer people are cooking at home, which makes me sad. The truth is that many Americans spend more time in traffic these days than in the kitchen. The basic truth is that the more you eat in, the more you can control and the healthier your plate is going to be. Home cooking recipes taste so much better, are full of nutrients and you are in charge of every ingredient used.
