Not many people have time for the type of food Julia Child used to show off on her PBS cooking show. The world has changed. Food television has changed along with it, featuring easy dinner recipes instead of the fancy French cooking Julia made famous. These simple recipes don't have to be bland. In fact, some of the French recipes are so rich that people couldn't even eat them every day.
Television isn't the only source of this food information. The Internet has a lot of meal ideas. Cooking show web sites are great, but there's a lot more. Some web sites show healthy meals while others focus on vegetarian food. Even the most remote food subject has hundreds of web sites dedicated to it. A person could spend an entire life learning all of it.
Easy isn't bland. Easy meals don't have to be terrible. Hot dogs are simple, but maybe too mundane. Corn dogs are another story. Lots of people enjoy them and they're not hard to prepare. The batter is just corn meal, flour, sugar and salt with some milk as the liquid. Then fry until golden. Add a popsicle stick to make the experience more like a corn dog at a state fair.
Corn dogs aren't healthy. Easy doesn't mean not healthy. Broiled chicken is nice in a salad. That's a simple meal. It's also good for you. Add a chicken soup appetizer. Salads can be made from almost anything. Some diced ham, hard boiled eggs and lettuce makes a great dinner salad.
Here's a little history lesson. Back in colonial times supper and dinner were two meals. Supper was a lighter late afternoon pick up, needed by people who worked hard at physical labor. Dinner was the heavier meal at the end of the long, hard day. As the years went by the realities of living and personal taste changed supper and dinner for some people, even combining them into one meal. But physical laborers continued the supper, dinner plan into the 1970's, and many people still follow that formula in the 21st century.
Separating supper from dinner isn't necessary. But try a lighter dinner type meal at supper time, or maybe we can call it dupper. Who cares? Easy dinner recipes can make it fantastic. - 16003
