Wifey B: You can use a microwave fry an egg or at least end up with similar, to poach an egg or scramble one. You can also use for asparagus. You can steam it quite well.
Ok, as to eating. Hubby and I both require meat at all meals.
We like veggies ok, green stuff and beans.
We like salads some nights.
We love berries which are very healthy.
We love fruit, but....and it's a huge but...all the sugar in fruit is just weight looking to jump on you so we limit it enough to not gain weight.
We generally eat balanced meals. We also don't eat potatoes much when cooking at home or on the boat but we will get baked potatoes when eating out. Never do either of us eat French Fries. We eat mashed potatoes only with fried chicken.
We also do not eat much bread. Ordinary dinner at home or on the boat, no bread. Fancy restaurant a little and special occasions at home.
Ok, you'll laugh at this one but hubby started it and I actually like it ok. If we decide to fix sandwiches for lunch, we skip the bread. Lettuce wraps, especially romaine leaves, are nice but otherwise we just get all the makings we want and put it on a plate and eat with a fork.
We do have a chocolate and ice cream weakness and do both but when we see any weight gain then none of either for a couple of days until we've reversed it.
We also eat large quantities (he more than I do) and know that we'll have to reduce as we age. We're not as bad as we once were. Hubby ate incredible quantities of food when he was young.
What kind of cocktails are we having?
