Lets Get Cooking!

Its a terrible time to become a chef. But its a great time to become a cook.

Ever since the American economy hit a giant RESET button back in September 2008, things have changeda lot. Weve grown wiser with our money, and were determined to spend it smartly. Whereas once we aspired to drive the biggest, broadest, hungriest SUV on the block, today Humvees look as outdated as bell-bottoms. Whereas once we admired the men and women boasting power suits and toting briefcases, today most kids whose parents work on Wall Street lie to their friends to save face. My dad? Hes, um, hes in jail!

And while the TV seems to bring us nothing but celebrity chefsand wannabes who are willing to be humiliated by celebrity chefsin the real world, were starting to take a second look at our restaurant culture as well. In 2008, 28 percent of Americans said they had visited a fine dining restaurant in the past month. In 2009, that figure dropped to just 19 percent. And 52 percent of respondents in a poll by Mintel said that they are spending less at restaurants than they did the year before. Sorry, Gordon Ramsay, but its suddenly a cold day in Hells Kitchen.

And thats a good thing, for our wallets, our waistlines, and our overall health. Its not a huge leap to look at all the drive-thrus and quickie sandwich shops and prepackaged take-out meals, then look at our growing bellies and thinning wallets and thinkhmm, maybe theres a connection here.

And there is.

The Better Way to Eat

Forget dieting. Forget joining a gym. Forget the ads for the Ab-inator device you saw on QVC. If you really, truly want to lose weight, there is no quicker way to shave pounds off your bodyand dollars off your food billthan to cook more at home. Thats what Cook This, Not That! will teach you to do.

Now, we dont mean to say you should avoid restaurants and prepared supermarket foods like the plague. The Eat This, Not That! series is designed to help you make smart swaps at all your favorite restaurants and in choosing all your favorite supermarket foods.

But in many cases, the very smartest swap you can make is to make it yourself. Just check out this sampling of restaurant and prepared supermarket foods and see how many calories you can save if you simply learn to cook these very basic dishes at home.
