As the struggling restaurant industry can attest, more consumers are eating at home. But that doesn’t mean they are making things from scratch. More people are microwaving frozen pizza or bringing home fast food. Approximately 20% of all meals prepared in our homes from 1990 to 2007 involved the use of a microwave…but in 2008, microwave usage rose to 30%

Somehow, this surprises me. I assumed that more people cooking at home meant more people actually COOKING at home.

I don’t have a microwave in my apartment and neither do some of my other friends. Surprisingly, after you get used to it you don’t even mind at all. You learn to plan ahead and I have a feeling I eat healthier without it. Cooking at home is a commitment, a cute apron is one way to make the whole process a little more personal and fun.
