“There is no food, only ingredients to make food.”, says Ben. “Well then make your own food!” we respond. We don’t buy processed foods very often. We always have lots of healthy food (ingredients) in the house, but we don’t usually buy snacks that we can just open the bag and devour them. It turns out that we eat healthier, save money, and we get to teach Ben how to prepare food in the kitchen.
Here Ben is making his own junk food – chocolate chip cookies – but at least they’re not chock full of unpronounceable ingredients with a 6-month shelf life. The shelf life on these cookies was about 24 hours!
