I think that is so true - eating at home is so good for us, on so many levels! And I think with more and more people having food allergies, it's just another reason to cook at home. That pizza looks amazing, by the way! Loved your post, Em! I think that is so true – eating at home is so good for us, on so many levels!

My hubby and I live in Europe and with the exchange rate right now, it saves us a lot of money eating at home!! I love cooking/baking, and so does my hubby! We like to connect at the end of the day like you guys do too! Plus, we KNOW what goes into our food including fat and salts! Then, I don't feel guilty when I eat a cookie that I have made because I know exactly what went into it! I definitely agree with you about eating at home!

Hope this helps! :) Susan,

French fries are one of my downfalls. I would love to see the recipe for baked fries as I am always looking for ways to enjoy the tasty potato without blowing up.

I actually prefer eating at home because I know what exactly I'm eating. And yes, when we do eat out it's much more special. :) Awesome post.

I couldn't agree more that home cooking is an incredibly relaxing activity. This may sound weird, but I love preparing my own meals and connecting with the food I prepare. Knowing everything that goes into to it just gives me a certain assurance and joy. It's so easy to fall into the take-out/eat-out trap, but less is more when you reserve dining out for special occasions. I'd rather save my money for an unforgettable meal at my favorite restaurant than waste it on some forgettable fast-food/take-out joints. Great guest post!
