We usually have a meat entree, and a cooked veggie, and some times a salad too. They say that vegies should take up half of your plate for dinner. steam them instead of butter use a seasoning salt or lemon, fresh asparagus is in season so it is plentiful. we steam that and use lemon. we split the whole pound of it (trimming off the last 2 inches of fibrous stalk) and it is alot! and very filling and nutritious.
they sell pork chops in large quantities here we take them out of the container and freeze them in individual bags for seperate servings, boneless they cook up in a jiffy! we have a seasoning salt that we like to use on fish or pork or chicken it is like tony sacheres or old bay with cayenne for a spicy flavor. you can buy talapia fish in large quantity and they are usually individually wrapped so you can cook just what you want and keep the rest frozen..they thaw under water very quickly. we use the spray pam for sauteing every thing or a bit of olive oil, some times I use a bit of a marinade sauce to cook the meat in, i did that last night with a sesseme, ginger dressing and a little barb b q sauce it was good on pork chop.
