As someone who eats out frequently, I really appreciate a home-cooked meal. It’s fun shopping for groceries together as a family, and feels really nice cooking and dining in the comfort of our own home. Plus, it’s much healthier than dining out as we get to control exactly what goes into our food and ultimately, what gets into our stomach.

The Health Promotion Board of Singapore has an upcoming Let’s Cook Healthy Together Photo Contest that I’m really looking forward to join, and would encourage you to take part as well. After all, healthy eating starts from within the family. If you would like a fun and healthy activity that engages your entire family, and win attractive prizes at the same time, this is one contest you must join!
