Learning how to make a cajun whole chicken is a perfect introduction to the teen years! It feels like a very grown up thing to do, but it's remarkably easy. And it gives them the ability to come up with the leftover chicken to use in the above recipe!
Avoid the use of processed foods; purchase fresh vegetables and meat from grass fed animals. Buy a slow cooker hole chicken book or search online for delicious, healthy recipes. There is a huge selection of recipes that contain healthy ingredients; throw them together in a slow cooker and a healthy dinner will be ready at the end of the day.
Next is hamburger meat. This is actually the very easiest meat to cook simply because all you do is stir it around until it all becomes darkish brown and add a few seasonings here and there. However, due to the awful smell of raw hamburger and the blood smell as it cooks, it's not as mentally easy to prepare as chicken is. I have to have an open window or a fan on to prepare hamburger, as it makes me gag, but it isn't that bloody and once it begins cooking that stink turns into more of a "cooked stink" so it does become easier to tolerate.
O'Charley's - It's not as cheap as the others, but it's definitely a deal. Two can dine for $20. Choose Chicken O'Tenders, Cedar Planked Tilapia, Good Time Grillers (sliders), Fried Shrimp Dinner, or the slow cooker whole chicken bone broth Pasta. The best part of this deal is that a side, a drink (soda, tea, or coffee) and O'Charleys rolls are included.
I added 3 times as much water to the beans just to be safe, (poured off the extra when done and measured it, could have only used twice as much rather than three times as much and it would have been the correct quantity). From dry beans to properly cooked in approximately 30 minutes. My next attempt was a pork sirloin and it was great also, about as tender as you can most likely get a pork sirloin. My third attempt was some chicken fajitas.
The soup and salad selection on the Red Lobster menu mostly accommodates a seafood lover's appetite. But if you like salad, then you might enjoy the Apple Walnut Chicken Salad. It contains field greens, barbecued chicken, peppers, sub-dried tomatoes, apples, walnuts, blue cheese. It comes with balsamic vinaigrette.
When my daughter said she wanted to take me to China Buffet on Mother's Day, I went along with the plan. After all, several unhappy encounters may also lead to a new change in management, something new and wonderful. I went along, looking towards the positive.
While I don't cook meat often, I do my best to tolerate the odors, raw flesh on my counter tops, and my frying pans touching animal flesh to appease the tastes of my meat-hungry fiance. I at least will cook up bacon and eggs now and then, and treat my poor man to a piece of lemon chicken along with his eggplant lasagna to let him know that while I don't agree with his eating habits, I will try to accommodate them the best I can.
