I Tried Cooking From Scratch for 30 Days. Here's What Happened.

sun-dried tomatoes

🥗Healthier: fresh tomatoes

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

Fresh tomatoes provide a lighter flavor, while canned tomatoes are more economical.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated cheese blend

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Clean out cupboards, fridge, and freezer, removing anything with additives or unrecognizable ingredients.

Keep whole foods like flour, rice, lentils, sugar, fats, herbs, spices, and salt.

Fill cupboards with whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, basic meats, plain yogurt, and plain cheese.

Switch out boxed cereals for homemade porridge with stewed apples.

Provide meals without forcing family to eat, allowing them the choice to eat or leave the table.

Observe that children will return to eat what's provided if they get hungry enough.
