If it clucks DGD will eat it.
Her current faves are chicken, lemon and rice soup. I add whatever vegetables are on hand and sometimes a thin sliced potato.
Chicken and broccoli stir fry w/ white rice. Velveting is the secret to tender meat.
Chicken and soppressata; roast chicken, PR style arroz con pollo with guandules or green peas.
Beef?
Oxtail stew, any style; beef stew PR style, a steak, mashed taters or cauliflower and salad.
Meatloaf for the man, meat sauce Bolognese (I make a large batch, generally 2 different styles, and freeze in portion containers) with pasta; steak, mashed taters or cauliflower and salad. Veal piccata or Milanese.
Fish and seafood.
Slow roasted side of salmon with sorrel or watercress sauce (food processor is yr friend for the sauces) and roasted veggies. Leftovers can be used to make a variation on a salad Nicoise.
Rachel Ray's "Foolyabaise"
Sauteed scallops in white wine sauce.
Shrimps with leeks and curry
Mussels sauteed in white wine.
Clam linguine. Sometimes white, sometimes red.
Whatever whole fish looks good at the market.
There are only 3 of us I need to feed on a regular basis and one of us is pretty young w/ an open mind (except for cheese; sigh) and the other two are pretty old and prefer to eat the way we want.
DGD will only eat lamb when I lie through my teeth
. It's been "Bambizied" for her. The rest of us wuvvvvvvv baby lamb chops, the younger the better, roast leg of lamb (love that it's now available boneless and in smaller amts for smaller families) with tons of garlic and various herbs.
Errr we also can make an entire meal of asparagus when in season and count out ever spear judiously to ensure that nobody but the cook gets more than the other
.
