We all know the urge to order in after a long day’s work. You’re tired, you’re hungry, and that favorite restaurant of yours would simply hit the spot right now. We completely hear where you’re coming from because we’ve all been there countless times before. But here are three reasons why we think you should consider cooking food at home instead.

Become Independent

When you cook your own food, you’re essentially learning how to be more independent. The better you get at cooking, the less scary the kitchen will be, and the happier you’ll feel that you can cook for yourself and your loved ones on your own.

Give of Yourself

This brings us to our next point—giving of yourself. If you happen to live with other people, there’s no greater feeling than pouring your blood, sweat, and tears into a dish and watching your loved ones enjoy it.

Save Money

When you buy basic ingredients at the store, they cost a minuscule fraction of the price you pay when you order in. If you can learn how to cook, you’ll save insane amounts of money. Believe us, it adds up.
