I recently took up cooking and if you get serious

Don't take this the wrong way, but I find this to be a very puzzling sentence. To me, cooking your own food is a normal way of life, not something you "take up." I'm in my early 40's and I've been cooking since I was about 10 years old. My 8 year-old son helps me make bread and some meals all the time. It's not rocket science and it doesn't take expensive ingredients or tools. It was only in the last few years that I even had a set of knives that I could say were "good."

This morning I spent about $5 on a McDonalds breakfast (yeah, yeah, I know!). For about that same $5, I plan on making falafels with tzatziki sauce and pita bread for dinner tonight for me and my wife (and the kid if he'll eat it). Infinitely healthier and tastier than McSuck and feeds more for the same cost.

Don't make feeding yourself sound more complicated than it is!
