Soy Sauce Chicken

My mom and baby and I had the Subway Melts for lunch because we had a coupon for them.  For dinner, I made soy sauce chicken tonight. I had leftover onions, carrot and tomato so they were thrown in there. So this was how I cooked it. I first use oil to fry up the minced garlic,  ginger and onion to get the flavour out. Then, I threw in the chicken drum sticks, added some light soy sauce and a teaspoon of dark soy sauce. I added a cup of water and waited until the mixture boiled. Then, I threw in the tomato and carrot and boiled everything for five minutes. I had to flip the drum sticks over at the three minute mark. Finally, I simmered the pot for around 15 minutes and it is ready.

Mommy Hang Out

During my pregnancy, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes.  My husband was very supportive to keep my blood sugars under control. He was very careful to shop for healthy groceries. He has always been a healthy food conscious shopper anyways but he was super conscious about it during my pregnancy.

We met up once after our babies were born and gave each other baby gifts. We also exchanged diapers and a baby outfit.  During our next meet up, I am getting us bubble tea to celebrate that we have no diabetes now! I am grateful to make a new friend in such an unexpected environment; the diabetes clinic.

It was after I learned my husband's system of managing food that I realized that my parents and I did not have a system so a lot of food and money was wasted.  I discovered that my husband's system saves money and lessens food waste. The former benefits our wallets and latter benefits the environment.  So this is how he does it.  He is very organized.  He actually has an inventory list of the staple food in our home and that includes the examples of rice, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, milk and eggs.  He checks the physical inventory at home to see which ones he needs to buy during his weekly grocery shopping trip.  He also checks flyers of his two favorite supermarkets to see what is on sale to determine what groceries to buy.  He only buys groceries that are on sale so he has a list of sale ite...
