Does cooking at home mean using only healthy ingredients? How to cook delicious meals you'll actually eat and look forward to leftovers. Because why make something you won't want to eat?

Tasteless food isn’t tasty

Imagine this. It’s a weeknight. You just finished work and you’re starving. There are leftovers in the fridge. It’s dried chicken breast, bland steamed broccoli and a container of plain brown rice. You’ve been trying to eat more at home because it’s better for your pocket and your waistline.

Even though you’re ravenous, it doesn’t appeal to you. You pick up the phone and order from your favourite pizza place. 20 minutes later and you’re sitting on the couch, one hand on the remote and another stuffing your face with that cheesy pie goodness.

You end up throwing out the leftovers and starting fresh when you go grocery shopping. All that wasted food, money and effort makes me want to cry not just because I’m a frugal Asian mom but because I’m a huge foodie.
