I'm having a lil taste of a housewife's life. My mum is in Thailand now for a vacation and I'm at home taking care of dad and household matters. Well, just normal housework my mum does: cooking, cleaning, washing clothes and washing the rabbit's cage. What I'm doing now is not much compared to hers. I mean, she has all the worries and problems that I may not know.
Anyway, my mum cooks healthy food, which my dad and grandma can't stand with but have to eat. My cooking is worst, too healthy. I even came to the extend of steaming vegetables. I'd rather spend on healthy food than getting sick and live with regrets.
Today's lunch:
- Tuna (for the Omega-D, good for the heart)
- Celery, tomato and onion-mixed omelette (I used virgin olive oil, so it's a low cholesterol meal)
 |
| Ingredients: Celery, tomato, onions and 2 eggs (beat till fluffy). |
 |
Top: Steamed mixed vegetables.
Bottom: Simple sauteed spinach. |
Today's dinner:
- Simple sauteed spinach (virgin olive oil, of course and iron)
- Tuna in tomato ketchup (protein)
- Steamed mixed vegetables (celery, tomato and corn...all the nutrients!!)
 |
| Celery. I used 2 stalks, which was kinda too much for my dad. |
 |
| Australian carrot. Just use one or two carrots, up to you. |
 |
| Tomato. You'll only need one tomato for servings of 3. But if you really love tomato, you can add another one. |
 |
| Sweet corns. Since they're small, I use a packet, which had 7 of them. |
 |
| I accidentally steamed over time, hence the colours of the carrots and celery weren't really bright and 'nutritious'-looking. Steam for 5 to 10 minutes. Not more than that, unless you're steaming corn. I used 20 minutes to steam the corn. |
 |
| For the simple sauteed spinach, you just need spinach, garlic, virgin olive oil, lemon (to add a tinge of sourness) and a little bit of water. I didn't add water, hence the dish was kinda dry. Dad says that spinach tastes good when soaked in watery gravy or soup. I'm fine with anything. |
