Unit 8 Eating Habits
Cooking at
Home
So you’d rather eat
out because you think cooking at home just takes
too much time? Well,
here’s
Jennifier
Harrison
with
our
FYI
to
prove
to
you
that
hitting
the
kitchen
at
home
can
be
healthier and a lot easier than you
think!
You
can
cook
a
healthy
meal
in
about
half
an
hour
with
just
a
few
ingredients.
Does
this
sound
too good to be true? To find out we’re taking
professional cook, Spencer Ritchens, with us
into
different
homes.
Now he
will
have
to
prepare
a
meal
on deadline
with
just
the
ingredients
found in the
kitchen!
Let’s hit the
pantry! All right, so here we are. Let’s see
what’s going on!
First stop. Jill Guenza’s home. Jill, a
typical busy mother of two, doesn’t find much time
to
squeeze
cooking
in.
She
makes
dinner
two
or
three
times
a
week.
So
how
does
she
feel
about
Spencer cooking up the
family food?
Could be
scary! I haven’t gone to the store in a while, but
I’m sure he’ll find something. I do
have a lot of staples.
Let’s take a look in the
fridge.
In the
nooks and crannies of Jill’s kitchen, Spencer
actually discovers an array or ingredients:
meat, bread crumbs, eggs, garlic,
onion, tomatoes, and tomato products, olive oil,
noodles, salt and
pepper.
Let’s
see
what
we
can
do
with
this
stuff.
What
do
you
say
we
make
a
little
spaghetti
and
meatballs and try to keep it simple
today?
It can be quick and
easy to cook at home, but there’s also a health
issue to home cooking.
And
we
enlisted
the
help
of
registered
dietitian
Kathleen
Newman
to
show
us
how
to
stock
a
kitchen, and more
importantly, to discuss the nutrition downfalls of
always eating out.
When we
eat out, the food that we purchase is generally
higher in fat, saturated fat, calories
and lower in fiber.
Cooking helps your health, but listen
to this. It may also help your mental skills.
Where else can you learn
how to organize and have a meal turn out at the
same time when
you have such diverse
ingredients, such as potatoes and a piece of meat
and some vegetables that
don’t take
very long to c
ook.
Now it’s time to put those meatballs
together.
As
Spencer whips up spaghetti and meatballs, it’s
clear Jill can do this, too. She had all the
ingredients on hand. But catching the
cooking habit starts with planning.
My key is organization. You
actu
ally can’t decide what you’re
cooking for dinner on the way
home to
do that.
Looks like we’ve
got some growing kids here, so we’ll give them a
couple of meatballs.
All right kids! Let’s see what happens.
Here you go!
Taste test.
Oh,
this is great.
We’re now at
a bachelor’s pad. We’ve dropped in on Brandon, and
again Spencer’s mission is
to make a
meal out of the food found in the kitchen,
Spencer, I bet the ingredients will be rather
different here.
I think so. I’m thinking maybe some
wheaties and
a little Taco Bell.
Let’s check it
out.
