We usually eat out once a week (on Friday after our grocery trip because who wants to cook a meal after putting groceries away) we usually get a coffee from a cafe one a week and also get a dessert/pastry/donut once a week too! We eat all our lunches, dinners, breakfast and snacks at home besides that and try to eat less processed foods and fresh produce over canned or frozen. We shop at Aldi and our local grocery store called Meijer

@rosecheawu1945 Жыл бұрын
@@spiritualantiseptict really depends on what you are eating frozen versus fresh. If you are a smart shopper and good cook or at least knowledgeable in the kitchen, you'll know which to buy fresh versus frozen. For instance for smoothies, I buy a lot of frozen fruit rather than fresh and I freeze fruits that I have a large quantity of if it'll taste great in a smoothie. I make fried rice with frozen because the vegetables are chopped very small and taste and texture wise, there isn't a big difference. Stirfrys MUST be made with fresh, so everyone who makes stirfried dishes with frozen, that's why your dish doesn't taste as good as the restaurant's, because most of the flavor in a stir fry comes from the freshness and crisp texture. Making a spaghetti meat sauce or soup, you can use fresh or prep and freeze vegetables to use later or some frozen just for the soup because the long simmer is going to change the texture anyway. Roasted vegetables taste better from fresh and of course you need mostly fresh vegetables for salads and sandwiches but you can use defrosted frozen peas and corn in salad too. Nutritionally similar, but doing it correctly is better for your pocketbook.

Breakfast is probably eggs or uncooked oatmeal with fruits/berries with milk, water or yogurt. Lunch is usually cold, oftentimes bread. I didn't notice them buying any so it's very likely they make it themselves, it's very common. Dinners are usually something simple consisting of veggies, meat/poultry and carbs, very often potatoes. Of course it varies, but that's what my experience in Denmark was like and Norwegians are similar in their behaviour 🙂 It would be interesting if she replies though.
