I'm the cook at my house
I enjoy cooking if I have the stuff,
'I hate shopping'
Almost all mine is home made, not much store bought or precooked
other than pizza crusts, mine suck
I love pastas of all types, some with clam sauce, some with meat gravy
or primavera with veggies
I love veggies too, of all kinds
(
my dad is really picky he like corn on the cobb, peas & green beans)
a lot of meals I cook more than one veggie,
just because I can't eat the same stuff all the damn time
he is what he is, I am what I am too
I love fish of all kinds & shellfish too
my dad really doesn't he's a fisherman too
doesn't like fish
he only likes shrimp or lobster
we don't have lobster very often, $$$$
I'm big on split pea, veg. beef (
or pork), oyster & potato soup (
moms recipe)
& clam chowder soups NE & Manhattan style
I make a mean chicken & dumplings
I make a mean shepherds pie too
I'm also big on crockpot stuff, lentils, navy beans, chile con carne or chile & beans
I'm really a meat & potatoes guy 1st 
especially at dinner time
Steaks, London broils, chuck roasts,
Spare ribs, thick Chops, boneless country style ribs,
chicken quarters or 1/2's or breasts, whole game hens,
various sausages, hamburger, ground pork etc. etc. etc.
or I will substitute the potato wedges, baked taters (
or fries, tater tots)
with starches/carbs like rice or barley, some pastas etc.
I have a batch of coleslaw, 3 bean, pasta salad & potato salad in the fridge regularly
I really do try almost every meal to have a fruit or a vegetable
& some sort of meat/protein & some sort of carbo's or starches
to have a rounded healthy diet, carbs in moderation
I make a lot of sweet cornbread & drop biscuits or buttermilk biscuits
My lunches I do a lot of wraps, instead of breads or I do soups
I'm not a big breakfast guy at all, coffee always, sometime toast &/or a bagel
My dad is a big breakfast guy, he doesn't really do lunches,
just snacks (
on junk food/crap) & he's still thin, go figure
he generally has 1st thing out of bed, every morning
he has the shakes really bad (
I think from all his like 8-10 meds),
before he eats
I start him out with his favorites, 2-3 eggs, bacon, taters/dices up,
some trinity/diced up (
keep a prep bag celery, onions, peppers in the freezer)
& scramble it up, with side of toast, juice & usually a fruit too
sometimes just oatmeal with a couple pieces of fruit & juice
sometimes pancakes or waffles, always fruit & juice,
he's a PITA
old habits die hard, I can't eat like that myself
