Article:
Mary Young, my former neighbor and a new empty nester, has discovered a sense of freedom now that her nine children have moved out. This liberation is a shared experience for many in her situation. Joy Smith, the author of "The Empty Nest Cookbook," urges empty nesters to make the most of it: "You can finally cook for enjoyment rather than obligation. With fewer people to please, you can experiment in the kitchen like never before."
Tips for Empty Nesters
1. Explore New Recipes: Many empty nesters relish trying dishes their children wouldn’t have. The July 2005 Pillsbury Empty Nester Survey supports this trend.
2. Think Smaller: With only two at home, you can skip the family-size packages.
3. Shop Smart for Perishables: Buy small quantities of fresh produce to minimize spoilage. Select dairy and meats with the latest expiration dates.
4. Focus on Nutrition: Opt for foods that pack a nutritional punch, like broccoli (vitamins A and C), legumes (fiber), and fortified whole grain cereals. As we age, we need fewer calories but still require essential nutrients.
5. Use Plastic Containers: Cook recipes for four or six servings and store the extra in two-serving portions. Label, date, and refrigerate or freeze them.
6. Swap Meals with Friends: Trading homemade dishes can add excitement to your meals.
7. Get a New Gadget: A vacuum sealer can lock in freshness. Smith suggests, "Seal and freeze leftovers in single-meal portions for quick, delicious dinners."
Recipe: Crunchy Garlic Chicken Breasts
This recipe serves four, meaning two meals for now and two for later.
Ingredients:
- 1?" cups Whole Grain Total cereal
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ cup skim milk
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1¼ lb)
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
2. Crush the cereal. In a shallow dish, mix cereal, parsley, and paprika. In another dish, combine milk, chives, salt, and garlic powder. Dip the chicken into the milk mixture, then coat with the cereal mixture. Place in the pan and spray the top with cooking spray.
3. Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken juices are clear when the center of the thickest part is cut.
Enjoy the freedom to cook creatively and savor each moment in your newly quiet home.
