Tips and variations
Tired of the same old weeknight dishes? Try this egg roll in a bowl! Crunchy cabbage and ground meat flavored with ginger, soy, and just a touch of heat. Choosing to prepare food at home can save you more than just money.
Restaurant food is typically higher in calories, sodium and fat. Preparing meals at home means you have control over the ingredients and the amount added. Cooking at home helps you control how much of a portion you eat. Restaurants often serve dishes that are two and three times the recommended serving. Those calories add up.
Choose meats that are lean, fresh fruits and vegetables and ingredients that are low or reduced sodium. Preparing meals with fresh, healthy ingredients can help reduce your risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
