I often ask myself if the younger generations are learning to cook, and I feel like they aren't. Not the way I cooked or my parents cooked, it just seems to be a lot of fast and efficient cooking, maybe take out maybe processed food. My kids know how to cook, obviously, because I've taught them, but I know that there are a lot of parents my age or a bit younger who don't cook that much and who don't teach their kids the art of preparing food. And of course that's why I created Take Out To Real Meals In 30 Days. We all appreciate food, and we create our own meals, but I hear so many young people say, "I don't know how to cook. I need to learn how to cook." I think there's a real need for some basic cooking skills in the younger generations. Today I will record the first/intro video for Take Out To Real Meals In 30 Days. I'm going to teach my daughter, Riley, how to roast a chicken. Absolutely simple process, can be prepped in under 10 minutes, and create a delicious meal with leftovers that can be repurposed into many things. Of course I wanted to do it with my son, but it's like trying to grasp smoke... He said he'd do it, but tying him down is next to impossible! So today we have the Olympian! As always, when I complete the video, I'll pop it in here so you can see what we're up to. While I'm sure most of you know how to roast a chicken, sometimes it's fun to see how other people do things. What's your favorite simple comfort food meal? Something you can create without a recipe that's always satisfying?

Brand new video… Cooking en famille ❤️ This is the first introductory lesson in my “Takeout to Real Meals in 30 Days” program! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cG8ESjJkqeWIhz36n1DrSly_tXEUaF7D/view?usp=drivesdk

Tonight I am going to make some Singapore noodles for dinner. I'll be honest with you, I just call them the pork Asian noodle things, because in my opinion they're nothing like Singapore noodles, which have curry and I love them. The cookbook I originally found them in years ago called them Singapore noodles. So I'm making some pork Asian noodle things for dinner in about half an hour. I'll see you then! As always, they will be recorded, so I'll pop the recording in as soon as I'm done.

Beef Stovies - easy version of a Scottish traditional dish. This one is quick easy and healthy meal that satisfies the belly! @J'son Elizondo this one is definitely keto friendly :)

The Shepherds pie is in the oven heating up, ready to whisk over to the Old Fart’s for dinner! (No… I’m not mean… he laughs about it!) It’s a simple recipe that can be tweaked a bit to suit your tastes. If you want to add some extra flavour try adding an herb or herb oil - Thyme or Rosemary would work well with the beef. This is another simple and immensely satisfying dish for any occasion! https://youtu.be/9SydH33xRLc?si=dL-TARWf4GgLrByB
