Ulog 50: Laid-back & Down-to-earth

We, mothers homemakers, often feel motivated to give the best for our family — to ensure a clean house, and to provide homecooked food and etc. The list goes on... And I don't feel like typing it because it will just remind me of tasks that was undone.

But, as limited as human can be, a homemaker-maker, no matter how motivated she is, can at times feel demotivated (sort of) or just don't have it altogether. Then, all she desires is just a short moment of rest or me-time. I shall cut the ranting desire... 😂

Whenever I felt more laid-back, either it was due to tiredness or hormonal monthly spikes or something else or just plainly worn out, I was thankful I still could come out with super down-to-earth meal. The best was, the children actually love it. Husband of course, needless to say, won't comment much, because he is ever supportive and appreciative of me.

Laid-back & Down-to-earth lunch

The name derived from the exact feeling I felt when I cooked those dishes. A glance at it will tell you anyone can make this simple meal. Tofu block with onions and garlic on top, drizzle some soy sauce. Fried egg. Stir fry lettuce. I just hoped and prayed that the boys would happily eat them.

And when you least expected it, the boys actually exclaimed the food was nice and that they were thankful for food. The eldest even remarked that he could cook the fried egg too. I sha wait for the day he becomes the chef instead of me. 😉

I am thankful that the children are thankful for simple cheap meal like this.
