Why is healthy cooking important to you?  I like to cook healthy because healthy foods make you feel better and live longer. I like to cook with my family. We use lots of veggies in our recipes like spinach. I learned from school that spinach is healthy for your body and full of vitamins. Some people think that healthy foods are yucky but they don’t have to be. My mom and grandma taught me to spice up our food like adding a little sea salt to broccoli or add a little bit of reduced fat cheese on top of the broccoli. Cooking at home is fun because we can make sure it is healthy. Me and mommy and daddy buy local fruits and vegetables that way they are Fresh and not full of bad sprays.
