The past year has provided us with many more opportunities to prepare and eat more meals at home. Some may have found this a welcome diversion while others may have found it added stress to an already busy life. While we know that enjoying more meals at home strengthens family relationships, it is also an important step to eating healthy and achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. A major health issue facing North Carolinians as well as our nation is Chronic Disease caused by Obesity. When asked why we eat out on the go and why we let other people cook so much of our food, the answer is often “I don’t have time to cook”, or “I can eat out cheaper” or “it’s too much trouble to cook for one person”. The negative impacts of letting other people cook so much of our food weather we are dining out, getting take out or going through the drive through is larger food portions, more calories, more fat and not enough fruits and vegetables.
North Carolina Cooperative Extension’s Family and Consumer Science Program is committed to helping citizens gain the skills needed to cook simple, healthy meals for their family through the Virtual Cook Smart, Eat Smart Program. Cook Smart, Eat Smart keeps it simple-with simple healthy preparation techniques, simple ingredients and simple equipment. Each session contains several basic cooking techniques and other topics related to eating and preparing meals at home.
