During mothers day, I gave my mom a free meal ticket. Meaning, during any day she wants, I will cook one meal. So from now until then, I have a lot of time to decide what meal I would like to cook.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From what mom has told me, she would likely ask for a dinner rather than a lunch or breakfast. This means I have to figure out a dinner plan that will serve four people. I could always make the curry I did last time, but that would be boring. Instead, I want to see what else I can make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since I\u2019ve already done curry, which I consider Asian, I will be trying to avoid that kind of cuisine. Instead, I would like to try focusing on European or American dishes. I thought maybe making burgers or something like that, but mom is on a low carb diet. This, unfortunately, this limits my options. Of course, I could make several dishes, but I\u2019m a horrible multitasker and it would just be easier to make two or one dishes. I did consider making steak, but we already have that occasionally. Besides even if I did make steak there would be nothing I would change drastically about it. One option I thought about and actually could work was a salad. However, it does seem kind of boring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eventually, I just searched up low carb meal options. Unsurprisingly, none of the recipes uses anything from the grain family food group. However, I did find a lot of meals did use chicken. So I thought, perhaps I could maybe make a chicken dish of some kind? When I began thinking of a chicken dish I could make. My mind immodestly went to the chicken kabobs. However, I know dad doesn\u2019t like that kind of food and if I do make it will just be more work. In the end, after looking around the internet for a bit, I settled on making a chicken cobb salad. Like I said before it is kind of boring but I couldn\u2019t really think anything else. I guess it also helps we have had this dish before so I do know everyone will at least eat it. I don\u2019t have an exact recipe right now, but I will likely look for one after posting this blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides the salad, I thought about making a side dish as well. Since I already have the low carb aspect figured out, I can really do anything I want for the side dish. What I do know is that I want to try doing something with potatoes. I was thinking along the lines of fries or something like it. The last time I used the vegetables, my preparation speed was painfully slow. Hopefully, this time around, I have improved a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, everything is still up in the air but I have a general plan laid out. I will likely make a chicken cobb salad with some kind of potato dish on the side. Like before, my goal is basically not to burn the house down and increase my prep speed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
