Many family members consider that the family kitchen should be the heart of the home, and it is probably a truism that Mom's home cooking is good for family life. Unhappily, in these busy modern times, many family members find it very tough to dedicate the time necessary to cook at home, and as a consequence their family life is damaged. Mom's home cooking has many benefits. It is often a great deal more cost effective, frequently significantly faster, and, as it causes less road trips, is a good deal more eco-friendly. The thing that amazes many families, is that it is often quicker than having a meal in a restaurant. If you consider the period spent getting dressed to leave your home, finding the eating place, waiting for the restaurant staff to take your order and finally waiting for your order to arrive, there can be little doubt that sitting down and eating a meal together is significantly faster. Home cooking is healthier, that's beyond doubt, but this is only the case if you do it right. Just dining at your own dining table won't help at all if you are serving junk food and TV dinners.
