What’s For Dinner?
Man people don’t have a lot of time to cook. They have a lot of other things to do. Between work and school and other activities they’re lucky if they have time to stop at a fast food joint much less prepare quality meals at home. Often it’s not a matter of cooking itself, but rather of coming up with dinner ideas for quick, healthy, inexpensive meals for the whole family. People who have trouble with this, however, must not be paying much attention. A seven day menu isn’t all that hard to plan for people who know where to look. Here are a few good dinner ideas for delicious meals the whole family can enjoy.
Corn dogs are an all American tradition, usually served at state fairs and by street vendors. While a little on the unhealthy side, it’s quick and good to eat. Make a batter with some flour, corn meal, salt, sugar and baking powder mixed with milk, dip the hot dogs and then deep fry them until the batter is golden brown. You an even add a corn dog stick to make it feel authentic.
In the old days dinner and supper were two different things, one a main meal and the other a lighter snack. Over time this was adjusted according to the needs of social class and work type. Afternoon dinner helped those with physical jobs make it through the later part of the day. Dinner has changed to become the anchor meal for most families, and a transition between work and school and preparing for a night of sleep. But supper and dinner have become intertwined, often interchanged in meaning this big meal. The evening meal doesn’t have to be huge, though. Go the traditional dinner route with a light soup or roast chicken salad.
Busy schedules and crock pots were made for each other. Set it up in the morning then enjoy a great meal at night. The whole meal can cook without supervision. Cook a roast with some cut up potatoes and carrots. Stop on the way home for a hot loaf of bread. Or, skip the bread to avoid the extra calories.
Excellent home cooking isn’t hard – try pork chops, or steaks on the grill. For more dinner ideas, Google the term. There are tons on line.
