I’ve hit a bit of a wall.
Went to the store over the weekend with a potential list of meal ideas in mind, and systematically reneged on each one. Went to Chinatown yesterday convinced it would perk up my meal planning, came home with nothing. So I’m struggling a bit.
Went down the various cook-along threads for inspiration because they’re all very appealing to me at the moment (Cuisine - South Indian, Cookbooks - Andrea Nguyen & Pati Jinich, Dish - Savory Tarts & Galettes) but it’s not been as helpful as otherwise.
Still, trying to come up with some ideas so I don’t end up staring at the fridge – or eating junk.
— Viet Roast Chicken Thighs + slaw + rice
— Salmon + leftover spinach rice / arroz verde
— Sushi bowls with shrimp or tuna
— Frozen, sauteed ground turkey → bulgogi bowls, kheema, pasta, shepherd’s pie
— Ven Pongal / Khichdi + tbd roasted veg + papad
— Zhoug-marinated chicken thighs + fattoush from leftover pita & fennel
— Curry chicken noodle soup (very weather-inappropriate, but I ate some yesterday and it was so good; note: add potatoes and fat noodles)
— Andhra-style egg curry + rice + salad or veg
Fingers crossed some of this appeals when it comes time to eat.
