The priest at my church is asking people to volunteer to cook one meal (dinner or supper, whatever you call your evening meal)a month for him. I thought, this would be easy enough for me when I was cooking dinner for my family to make a plate for him and deliver it. Upon talking to him I discovered that there are a couple of things that I need to take into consideration.
Fr. Mac has just been diagnosed with diabetes. He does not have to take insulin as he is able to control it with his diet. I know that I will need to do some reading about cooking for a diabetic but does anyone have any tips about this type of diet? The other issue is, whatever meal I make needs to be able to be frozen in case an emergency arises he he has to leave. In consideration of this I have thought of some dishes but am not sure about a couple of things, does cooked pasta freeze and reheat well? What about potatoes (such as mashed)? I know you can buy frozen entrees at the grocer that have potatoes and pasta in them but is there something that I need to do so that they re-heat well?
I know soups freeze and re-heat pretty easily so I will probably include a couple of these as well. But beyond meatballs, lasagna, soup, chili do you have any suggestions?
Lots of questions.....
