Tonight I made poached chicken breast with gravy served with sauteed mushrooms with salt and pepper.
Pretty proud of myself! I moved out of my comfort zone of purely comfort foods like pasta and sausage and peppers. Now I’m eating more rice and beans, lean cuts of chicken and pork, and incorporating more veggies into my meals.
I’m nowhere near the level as some of the chefs here on hb, but for being a bachelor looking after myself I’m doing well!
If you have spoon issues, you gotta get a rice cooker with a steam basket. They were around 20 bucks, not sure now. But you can cook a full meal and it’ll just stay warm for you till you get to it. That plus a good slicer and cubed chopper. We got the latter for my partner who is a bit more disabled then me, but realized it’s such a spoon saver! The garlic press too is very good. The later things we all got at Ross for pretty cheap. Though I’m going to look into some better cubers now cause it couldn’t handle some very tough parsnips once. The garlic press and slicer is still going strong though.
But anyway, I always recommend the rice cooker to people cause its just been such a life savor.
