Cooking for one in Reston, VA
I’ve been kind of winging it the last couple weeks which has resulted in some rather haphazard meals (e.g., peanut butter sandwich before heading to theatre) and some produce that languished in the fridge drawer and got tossed. My CSA bag gets ordered over the weekend and arrives on Thursdays, so I am going to try hard to make my menu plan when I order rather than after it arrives. Asparagus has shown up and it is one of my favorites so it is going to feature in upcoming meals until the season is over and I am sick of it.
Sunday, Apr 14: Out to book club - someone else doing the cooking (Yea!)
Monday, Apr 15: Seared Miso Sesame Shrimp and Asparagus from “Dinner in One”
Tuesday, Apr 16: My weekly walking group in the afternoon so need something easy - Sheet pan roast cabbage and chicken sausage
Wednesday, Apr 17: Trying to make more bean dishes. Kidney Bean Curry from “Made in India”. I haven’t made this one before.
Thurday, Apr 18: Leftover curry

Hope everyone is well and enjoying spring. Our farmers market opens in 2 weeks and I can hardly wait for some good strawberries and sugar snaps. I love spring produce!
