Whenever the MIL goes abroad to stay with her daughters, I tend to find it hard to get the momentum to take over the cook’s job after having enjoyed the luxury of staying away from the hot kitchen for a period of time. For the first few days after she leaves, I will normally cook something really simple. In the meantime, I would need to spend some time to think and plan on what to cook, as well as check out blogs of good cooks (who cook yummy yet simple to prepare dishes) to give me some ideas and inspiration to start cooking again! Hahaha!
I was and still am feeling under the weather, no thanks to the pesky bugs that the 2 younger rascals brought home from school. With 2 rascals who love to kiss and hug me and share my food and drinks no matter how careful I am to stay them away from my food, it really ain’t easy to escape from those virulent bugs.
This was the super simple dishes that I served the girls for dinner yesterday …
Blanched veggie and omelette with loads of onions and scallions. Everyone needed the potent compounds from the onions and scallions to ward off flu bugs! Onions scavenge free radicals and have vitamin C! Onions are good for your liver and body cells too. Thankfully my girls love onions and they can never get tired of eating omelette with onions.
Steamed chicken with tong kwai herbs, wolfberries, garlic and red dates.
Tonight’s menu will be grilled Saba fish, stir-fried fresh mushrooms and blanched veggie again. Pix to follow soon! 🙂
