#2: Lack of Cooking Skills
Scenario:
I don’t know how to cook, so I find it easier to pick up ready-made food or heat up some frozen meals.
Suggestions:
While the occasional frozen dinner or pick-up meal is sometimes practical, you don’t need to prepare a fancy meal to be able to enjoy home made foods. You can prepare sandwiches, such as tuna sandwiches, or a salad with kids. With a glass of milk and a piece of fruit, you've got a balanced meal. You can also prepare some simple recipes that require very minimal cooking skills, such as English muffin mini pizzas with tomato sauce and grated cheese. As you prepare simple meals more often, you will start getting more comfortable with cooking.
