Help: Sample menu for Daily Living

[piglet31]

---

Need help unta ko magmake ug sample menu for everyday living..

Amo helper nga kahibaw muluto kalit ra man gud nihawa then ang bag.o nga helper dili kaayo kahibaw muluto..

I'm just starting to learn how to cook, and ang ako problem always is what to cook everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Naa ko daughter nga 1 year old and libog ko unsa iluto para makakaon pud siya. Lisod pud kaayo ug pirmi na lang siya mag.cerelac..

Thank you sa mga makahatag ug input ani nga topic..

wait, you're asking for sample menu for your daughter? or sa imong whole family? what solid foods have you introduced to your kid na?

you can make a meal plan for the whole week.
first of all. how many are you in the household?

honestly the breakfast is the easiest since most pinoy just buy processed or canned or frozen foods like hotdog, tapa, bacon etc. bread, cereals or rice.

as for lunch and dinner. just make sure that you buy ingredients that can be easily used with another recipe. ex. cooking fried chicken at lunch on monday and cooking chicken adobo on wednesday's dinner..

you can try doing the grocery good for 1 week and you can figure out there what to cook for your family for the week. if you see nice fish in the grocery maybe you could buy 2 kilos worth, 1 kilo for pritong isda on tuesday and paksiw on saturday. rotation lang ka. try to keep your menu simple and cheap. maybe a special menu on the weekends.

ex. menu plan: Monday: Breakfast/ egg, ham rice or bread. Lunch/ fried porkchop and mung bean soup with rice. Dinner/ tinolang manok and rice served with fresh fruits.

Tuesday: Breakfast/ sausage, fried rice or bread. Lunch/ pinakbet and fried fish. Dinner/ chicken pork adobo.

Wed: Breakfast/ pancakes, scarmbled eggs and bacon. Lunch/ menudo and rice. Dinner/ Sweet and sour fish

Thurs: Breakfast/ meat loaf, sardines and rice. Lunch/ sinigang and rice. Dinner/ fried chicken and cream of mushroom soup.

Fri: Breakfast/ tocino egg and rice. Lunch/ chopsuey and pork steak. Dinner/ humba and rice.

you get the idea... another way to do budgeting kung gamay lang mangaon sa lunch why not try cooking a single meal for both lunch and dinner. initon nalang pag gabii. you save money and time.

Sample menu for the whole family. Lahi pud diay ang menu para sa baby? Karon, mu-eat na man nuon siya ug rice nga naa sabaw or rice nga with mashed kalbasa...

Unsa pa man angay ipakaon sa 1 year old?

@tonioyantao: Thanks for the input. Sige, I'll try to follow your menu although there are a couple of dishes there that I really don't know how to cook.hehe

Ang mangaon kay ako, my husband then akong 1 year old daughter. Ako isa ka baby kay newborn, then naa pa 2 ka yaya. Ang ako kalibugan ang lunch kung magluto ba or mamalit na lang sa tindahan, pero mahal pud kung mupalit pa mi unya naa ra lutuonon.

Sauna katong wala pa mi baby, ako husband ang magluto para breakfast then dala na para sa akoang lunch kay mu-work man siya sa office. Dili na siya kauli ug lunch kay layo. Then ang dinner kay maghuwat pa ko niya para magluto. Luoy kaayo ko walay alamag. Pero karon nga naa na baby, murag concerned man pud ko sa kind of food nga ako ipakaon nila then ganahan na pud ko magluto para makat-on ko.

well now it's a start for you to learn how to cook. practice lang gud im sure your family will love you for it.

as for the recipe. most pinoy dishes you can find online. and i bet you will also find some dishes that you want to try. just make sure lang na in a day you have some vegetable dish pud para healthy hehehe.
if you find it quite hard to prepare 3 meals in a day. why not try cooking one large meal for the family and mao nalang na kanon ninyo for the day. microwave nalang later para init.

@tonioyantao: Thanks for the advice. I actually found a site in the internet that includes video unsaon pagluto. It'a very helpful site: Panlasang Pinoy ang name. Hopefully, I'll be able to get this through.hehe
