What is your dinner?

TheAnswer:

My hubby grew up with a load of junk food. Check my freezer. You see junk! Check my dining table. Overcrowded with junk.

And nebbermind, he should share his specialities with us.

Your DH's specialty (and his family's) is simple food and comfort food. A great food selection does not equate necessarily to heàlthy food.. it could be fast to cook selections.. easy to prepare selections and even comfort food selections. My hubs was from a hi-carb and hi-cal environment. With hi-metabolism... fats burn more quickly and feel hungry often. So with your DH exercising so regularly, it is no surprise that he turns to what you term as junk food as his snacks.. luckily not staple.. :xedfingers:

But these are their comfort foods. Comfort foods make them happy.

Buds_hubs is an avid marathoner. I was a swimmer.
Hence can relate to comfort foods.

Yes, still waiting for Nebbermind's original uploads & sharings. :preen:

My DH runs marathons too. Few years ago, he picked up cycling. Now he spends time running and cycling. My hubby eats a lot. Seriously a
lot. He can have a large packet of fries/potato chips after our heavy dinners.

[quote=\"Jennifer\"]I only cook 1 cup of rice.

Also, how can your family just manage on 1 cup of rice? My family of 4, with 2 girls aged 13 and 16yo, needs 2.5 cups of rice for 1 meal! (by the way, none of us is overweight!)

1 cup of rice is > sufficient for my children. I am not eating rice for dinner. Hubby was not home for dinner either.[/quote]I only cook 3/4 cup of rice. Can't buy 2.5kg or 5 kg rice or I will end up seeing insects & flies. I normally get 1 kg pack brown rice. My kids prefer dishes than rice. Hubby wants to cut down on his carbo & weight.

I buy prata...cook an egg to eat with. Usually buy Spring home brand. Thanks for the suggestion...headache what to cook sometimes. Use non stick pan and fry on low fire. No need to put oil.

You can cook scramble egg & put it on the prata & roll it. It turns into a wrap. Alternative is to put some tuna or a sausage on the prata & roll it. Serve them with Campbell cream soup & KFC coleslaw or homemade salad to complete the meal. Simple & nutrition. Your kids will love it.

:thankyou: for the wonderful suggestions.

No specialty leh....still experimenting!

Last week tried claypot rice. By the time I got the meat ready, my rice already cooked. :frustrated:

Same here, I alw have this problem. My chicken meat is alw undercooked, and the bottom of the rice chao tar. Still haven t acquire the skill of mking perfect claypot rice. So I usually put the meat to cook together with the rice.

@ the answer :

I cook the Yakon with pork ribs, red dates, lotus seeds for about 2 to 3 hrs. Few times the Yakon that I selected was rotten inside, so go for the good looking ones.
I love fen ge soup also, it helps to relieve bone heartiness and is good for women s health.

Read one recipe...stir fry the chicken for a min separately and then add to the half cooked rice to complete the cooking.
