What does my family love to eat?
It is difficult at times to make a meal that all of the family will enjoy. One person may want something different from the others. I often have to make a meal that has different components to it. Then, one person can leave out or add any ingredient if they like. A mother and/or her helpers often have to tweak the meals to accommodate everyone.
For example, when I make spaghetti, I leave out the sauce from the ground meat. My younger son and I love the sauce on our pasta, but the others sometimes do and sometimes don't. I don't bother to make meatballs, either; they're too time-consuming to make. Then, we made some toast, adding butter. For mine, I add a sprinkling of garlic.
My children also like to eat tacos of various kinds. I like that they are versatile. The kids can add any ingredients they like. One daughter likes lettuce. The other daughter likes tomatoes. My youngest son likes a cheese taco, while the older one likes ground meat with the shredded mild cheddar in it. My husband and I like to add avocado, to which I add a few drops of lemon.
Some of them like cheeseburgers. Two of my children--the oldest ones--like cheeseburgers. All of them seem to like chicken nuggets. Some of us like the nuggets with or without barbeque sauce. Of course, we need our fries, and again, some like ketchup and some don't.
What about you, my readers? What do your children like? What does your significant other love to eat? Can you see the value of making your meals with choices? I just love the challenge of having everyone eat a meal together, one that everyone can enjoy.
Peace to you, my beloveds.
