This website is in honour of my Mom, Eileen Gardner who changed many lives by being a Home Economics Teacher. For those who are too young to know what is the field of Home Economics, she taught Foods and Sewing in high school in the 1980’s. She influenced many young people to learn how to take care of themselves by learning how to cook for themselves. In these days of fast food takeout, there are fewer people learning how to cook which is leading to obesity etc.
Anyway, Eileen touched many lives. She’d be in our local grocery store and 40 year-olds would come up to her all excited and they’d say how “her Class was their favourite one” and “do you remember me?”
So, thank a teacher because they do influence our lives.
So, there will be a lot of Cooking from Scratch on this website because it is healthier and it is more economical than buying prepared foods. There will be salt and sugar because these ingredients affect how ingredients cook and how food tastes. However, if you know how much salt or sugar is in the recipe you can just eat less of it. 🙂
