I hold a lot of opinions not based on facts and I don't want to deprive the world of my insane rantings. As I understand it, that is what blogs are good for, right?In all seriousness, I often cook at home, but a lot of people don't. Their theory being that eating at home is more expensive than eating out, and that it is time consuming. It really doesn't have to be. I'm a notorious procrastinator and am able to whip up a lot of meals right before my husband comes home (and realizes that I've spent most of the day on Pinterest - don't judge).
The main reason for this blog is to explore the theory of whether or not it's more expensive to eat out or to eat at home. And, what is the real time commitment.
Let me be clear: I have nothing against fast food. I know it's not always good for you, but I'm not going to look down on folks that eat it. I enjoy a Chipotle Burrito Bowl just as much as the next person, but there are other options. Here in New York, a trip to Chipotle for two can quickly cost you over $20. That's for one meal. Granted, it's Chipotle and will put you in a food coma for hours, but is that really sustainable for folks on a budget?
While that is the focus of the blog there will be other topics. I love me some food! I'm originally from New Orleans. Love of food is in my DNA.
So, let us begin at the beginning. Shall we?
