breakfast- cereal or a banana or toast.
lunch- tomatoe sandwich or lunch meat, pb&j
dinner- meat (standing at the meat counter the other day I turned aroound and walked away the prices are terrible. or chicken, potatoes or rice, or pasta, veggie or salad. I think really its going to be alot more of beans and rice and veggies. Desserts once in awhile.

Boy, does that sound familiar. When the kids were all home, I loved to cook. When they were all gone, I learned to hate it because it seemed no matter what I fixed, he didn't or wouldn't eat it. That's the way he was raised & seemed to think I'd fix him a separate meal. SUPRISE!!!!!. That's what his mom did & I was expected to do the same. Another suprise. One would think that after 60 yrs. he would have learned. Now I'm alone and fix me some of the things that I loved as a child. But things are not as good when you have to make such small amounts. Don't mind leftovers a time or two, but after that, ugh.

When we were first married DH would not eat so many foods I wondered how he survived college, Air Force, etc. His Mom would make special things for him, his sister, his dad. I would go through a dozen eggs in the morning til I got one fried just right for him.(Then I ate all the rest as I couldn't see food wasted...this was before I worried about cholesterol). I did this until our children came along and said I would not have them being such picky eaters. So I made nutritious meals and if he did not want to eat.......tough! I And he didn't! So I consented and made Italian meals and anything with tomato ingredients and all the other things we liked and he didn't when he was gone. Our kids learned to like many foods and both are good cooks for their families,especially our son who measures, marinades, times like hes in Chem Lab! DH is still very picky but has survived! When i was gone for 3 months he survived on his 4 food groups....beef sticks, candy bars, ice cream and beer.:)

All this talk about food is making me hungry! We eat wild meat, Buffalo, Elk mostly..shredded Moose stew (my favorite)Any leftovers any way the next day. Wild meat is leaner than any lean beef you can buy. Best tip my DM passed on: If your wild meat has a strong wild smell - which is normal and usually caused by the sage they eat, soak in milk in the fridge the night before. It reomoves the sage flavor and tenderizes.ummm!

Breakfast and lunch are catch as catch can around here. Dinner is just good home cookin'. Roast chicken, brisket, pork chops, that sort of fare - - - meat and potatoes kind of meals.

We only eat 2 meals a day. Usually brunch or lunch and dinner. We were both raised on a farm so normaly it's meat, a vegtable and potatoes. As far as I'm concerned, if it doesn't have meat , it's not a meal.

We have lots of stir-fry. We can't eat gluten so this is a quick meal that we like to eat lots of.

If it was up to me I wouldn't cook at all. When my kids were growing up I had to cook every night. And then I had to clean the kitchen EVERY NIGHT. And then when they became teenagers, I would still cook for the most part probably 3 or 4 nights a week and then I would get mad because I would spend all that time cooking dinner for my kids and husband WITH LOVE and it wouldn't get ate. So then one day I decided..the heck with all of them, they can fend for themselves. And they did pretty much. But I always made sure there was healthy foods in the house.
I did alot of home canning. I canned everything under the sun pretty much. Except for milk that I was never able to do. One day I am going to get a pressure cooker and start canning stuff again. But my kids used to be able to go into the pantry and pull out pretty much what they wanted. I always had veggies and many many many pints of different meats, sauces stuff that they could make on their own.

If you work around allergies you open a whole new can of stuff. Dh and Ds are milk intolerent. Sil was never been exposed to different types of foods and a 54 is only now trying some or starve says Dd. Me, well I swore I would never cook another potato when I left home. Acourse I have but only once a month or so. I love brown rice Kee wah bulgar, and rice pilaf. My folks were from the mid west and te potatoes 3 time a day. Everything came with potatoes and gravy and home made bread. Frenchfrys even turn me off.
