So my older sister and I (yes, HER) are gonna be cooking for the family again. Wheeeeee! (Honestly, we get along in the kitchen better than just about anywhere else.)
But as we ARE cooking for the family, and some people have certain dislikes or foods they just can't eat (mostly the parents, due to age), I'd like some ideas. (Though of course, sis already has SEVERAL. Shocking, I know.)
Here is what we can't use or have in the dishes.
Garlic. (Yes, this one is killing me.)
Onions at a more than minimal level.
Ginger.
Anything spicy. And I don't mean what I consider spicy. Mom is not really a fan of spicy stuff at all, so anything with heat is pretty much out. Seasoning is fine, but spicy is not.
Coconut. (There goes my coconut rice idea.)
Asparagus.
Avocado. (Fine with me. I hate the fuckers.)
Beans.
Anything high in fat or cholesterol. Red meat is right out.
Eggplant. (How is this my mother?)
Goat cheese.
Anything high in sodium.
Sis already has many ideas, and I have a couple myself, but am interested in what you folks come up with, not just for this visit, but for future visits as well. One of the few things I'm bordering on being ashamed about is that I haven't really cooked for my parents, other than the last time sis and I cooked for the family.
