What's for Dinner?

[Fading Fast]

Grilled ribeyes, twice baked potatoes, sautéed garlic mushrooms, broccoli, and green salad.

Your meals always sound so real meal - entre'e, sides, salad, vegetables, etc. - and so thoughtful. Kudus, that is not easy to do on a regular basis.

The Fading Fasts are humbled as a meal for us can be a sandwich (no sides, salads, etc.) or soup and crackers or a bowl of pasta (just the bowl, that's it).

Thank you! That is so kind of you to say. I try very hard to have balanced meals to teach Lily how to eat properly (eating veggies is ok!), and now that Hubby has been diagnosed with diabetes, we are trying to balance his bloodsugars with food so he can lower his dosage of medication.

I menu plan for the with protein/carb/veg as the components of each meal (ratios have changed for Hubby - more protein/veg, less carb) and shop accordingly.

Because of Hubby's diabetes, we don't really have a choice to just have a bowl of pasta. I wish we did! That would be so much easier for me to fix. But he can only have about 3/4 cup cooked whole wheat pasta, 1/2 cup of low carb sauce with extra meat, and a large salad on the side to fill him up. He grumbled about this at first until he got used to the portion size and realized that his body was feeling better because his sugars weren't spiking.

Your husband made a wise choice in marrying you.

Your husband made a wise choice in marrying you.

He is well reminded of that fact. I am wife v.2.0, the newer, kinder, prettier, better cooking model than v1.0!

Leftover milkrice(pudding) from lunch. With a little sugar and cinnamon, of course.

You made me laugh out loud - very funny.

Went out for Chinese food last night with just me and my Lady and loved it. Beef and broccoli, pork fried rice, brandy fried chicken, shrimp toast, pork wontons, and a couple of Fog Cutters. Ran into a buddy from high school I had not seen in twenty plus years. Great evening.

Sounds like my dinner, except substitute the broccoli for homegrown green beans (I always keep some on ice from the summer to enjoy in the dead of Winter).

French onion soup with a marrow bone and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Whole wheat toast grilled with Mozzarella on top.

There used to be a place here that served Kimchi fries. It had carmelized kimchi and bulgogi on french fries with siriacha drizzled on everything. It was awesome. I think you can google a recipie for it. Tonight I grilled some marinated venison backstrap, steak, and romaine lettuce.

Last night's dinner was leftovers from the night before: beef and broccoli, pork fried rice, brandy fried chicken, shrimp toast, and pork wontons. Just as good as the night before, maybe even better.

Hubby *hated* it. Said it was his #2 most hated meal in the 12 years I've been cooking dinner for him (#1 was the too-salty fish I made - it was bad).

 

[Stanley Doble]

Broccoli and cheese stuffed breaded chicken breast, steamed broccoli, stove top stuffing. With a glass of cranberry juice.

Well, when you update your wife software to v.2.0.1 just remove the programs for the bulgogi and too-salty fish and he will then have the absolute perfect wife (he's pretty darn close now IMHO).

I'll get a system reboot in 5 weeks (my birthday), so maybe I'll delete some of the cookies then.

(And you are very sweet.)
