Cooking Without Fear

Cooking is becoming a lost art. Parents - who today may not even know how to cook themselves - aren't teaching their kids. We're eating processed junk, getting fat, and feeding the coffers of huge companies who put their profit way above our health and well being.

And we're missing out on a genuinely fun, rewarding, and relaxing activity that brings other benefits. It's a great thing for families to do together, but it's also fun if you're a single living alone. And guys, it is a great way to impress the ladies.

Don't let fear stop you. What's the worst that can happen? You make a lousy meal, or over or undercook something. So what? Learn from it, laugh at it, and go at it again.

This blog will have some recipes, a lot of encouragement, some cool tips, and a place to ask questions and provide your own suggestions and recipes. Most of all, I'd love to get people in the kitchen (using something other than the microwave - though occasionally we'll even use the microwave for some simple tasks.)

Trust me - you'll have some fun, you'll definitely save some money, and you'll eat more healthily. And that's without going crazy picking specifically healthy ingredients. Just eating home cooked food instead of uber-processed ingredients you'll find at most restaurants, all fast food joints (if you're lucky), and even those you can find at the grocery store if shopping injudiciuosly, will be far healthier for you.
