When you make food at home, make just enough, so that everybody gets one reasonable plate, and no more. Not every meal has to be balanced. Not every meal has to have a meat AND a starch AND a whatever. True, meals have to be balanced over a period of weeks, but not at every meal. The French make a meal of just mussles or just beef or just green beans. You do need to eat lots of different things, but not necessarily all at once. The tendency in this country is to make extra food so that everyone can have all they want. Heaven forbid someone should want more of something and the bowl is empty. That's the worst thing, right? No! If they really need more, they can get it from the refrigerator. It's a mistake to make extra food because people, especially men, tend to eat everything in front of them. If you make extra food, you will guarantee that your family will be fat. So use smaller pots and pans, make half-packages and don't get crazy trying to "balance" every meal. Dessert is fruit . . . or nothing. |
