Living with parents...
We currently live with my parents... Long story! No one loves the situation, but it is. We have the issue that we love to experiment with new foods and eat different things every night, not to mention stay healthy. My parents (mostly my Mom), on the other hand, eats only certain meal, usually prepared the same way every time. Chicken, usually un-marinated until its cooked on the skillet with some garlic pepper, Steak, usually un-marinated, cooked on the grill or on the forman grill without anything other than tenderizer, or something with a whole lot of hamburg in it.
I have such a hard time picking what to make. Any suggestions on how to satisfy my picky parents without sacrificing our health and getting bored with dinner. I'm getting so frustrated!!
Help!?
Re: Living with parents...
You can't go wrong with stew or chili or something like stir fry or light Italian.
This. When we were engaged, DH and I lived with my parents for 9 months. We cooked separately almost every night because we have different tastes. My parents don't have a ton of money so it also ensured we were responsible for our own grocery and food bill. On occasion, if we knew we were making something they liked or vice versa, we'd ask if the other would like to join. We often cooked separately but all still ate together.
