We’re in an obesity epidemic and most people don’t know how to cook even very basic meals.

Make space for it, squish other classes if you need. Make it mandatory, everyone has to take it. Maybe even ongoing through multiple grades.

Edit: Rice, beans, and even basic meats are cheap. To eat healthy you don’t need your meal to be 100% Bell peppers and tomatoes.

    By far. I made pizza last night, I even make my crust from scratch. The only ingredients I didn’t make from scratch was the sauce and cheese. The rest of the ingredients were organically sourced

        That is one thing I’m still working on, how much is too much and how much isn’t. Also the pizza I make is bacon, tomato and spinach with an Alfredo sauce using low moisture mozzarella cheese

          How much sauce goes on the pizza? I know with tomato you want to spread it out real thin, just enough to coat the dough. It usually comes out to 2 soup spoonfuls of sauce for me. I’d imagine it’s similar for an Alfredo sauce.

          Something my spouse really loves is when the pizza is cooked in cast iron pan. It makes for a great crust, cause it’s fried.

            I use about 2 coking spoons worth of sauce. Technically I do a lot of my cooking by eyeballing the amount of sauce or seasonings. with two 15-16 inch pizzas i use about half a small jar of alfredo sauce in total. (approximately 3 oz total between the two)
