Sautéed Cod Fillet With Cannellini Bean Salad
>
It’s no wonder people eat more and more sh***y fast food.
This 2 lbs of cod fillet was $ 20.00 incl tax !!! 😦
Ground beef $ 7.00 a pound, chicken wings $ 5.00 and up, a small loaf of bread $ 4.00 and up, etc, etc 😦
Yet, a small crappy cheeseburger with fries and a coke is $3.00 ! What a shame.
I spend about $ 200.00 per week just on groceries and paper goods for Bella and myself, no laundry or cleaning cost for my cleaning lady included. How do families with a few kids and regular income do it ??? Everybody works, money and time is tight, so fast food is the only answer. Most young people do not have home-economy classes in school anymore, so it eludes them how to prepare a good, tasty, healthy, and economic meal for lets say $ 2.00 per person from scratch, or mostly from scratch with some canned protein or “secondary meat cuts” added. For a professional chef this should not be a problem, but for an inexperienced young couple with kids, who were never taught how to economize, save, calculate and be frugal, this will be nearly impossible. Financial disaster, poor nutrition, and a never ending circle of misery is the inevitable result.
Teaching home economics in school, affordable supplies of nutritious food at acceptable prices and less waste because of idiotic standardisation of size and appearance, mostly by supermarkets, as well as the stupid expectation by consumers that all food should be standardized, is highly required and necessary if we don’t want to be living in a world were only the rich can afford to buy nutritious food and drink.

Ok now, done with the rant and back to today’s dish, which was delicious, beautiful and healthy (and Expensive). 🙂
As you can see in the pictures, there was a lot of EVO and whole butter, (I used a spoon to eat the beans) but as long as you don’t consume this much every day, you’ll be fine,
Also, if you don’t think it’s good for you, just use less ! 🙂

Bon Appétit ! Life is Good !

I taught cooking to kids as an afternoon class. For some kids it Was their first food of the day. I had one parent pull her son out of my class because they would not eat like that at home (precooked chicken with rice and veggies)she stated fast food was their go to meal. She refused the free rice t she wasand veggies I had available. So I understand your rant. Sad but true . But that was the minority. Most kids made the meal at home and came the next week for more. I did help out a lot of families eat better. I love 💕 your recipes and use them at home Much 💗 Mama L

My last part-time job after I retired was as a production mgr for 9 schools(from elementary to high school)
We prepared good, nutritious food every day. The problem is that there were innumerable options right there in the food line, at least 30 options of junk food (vending machines) which most of the kids preferred 😦
These school principals (THEY are making the decisions about food vendors) did not care about at all about these kids nutrition, it was all about the financial bottom line 😦
And there you have it…….
