Back in my kitchen and trying to reset positively (with some help and inspiration from these parts which helped me get a list of ideas going).
Return was to mostly outside meals for a few days as travel followed travel, but I got some cravings out of the way, which I’m taking as a positive!
I was a bit extra (or didn’t want to go back out in the cold again) and stopped by the grocery store on the way home from my weekend trip , so I am stocked for a few days.
Ideas:
– Salmon roasted with mustard, red lentils / masoor dal cooked with cauliflower stem, sauteed gingery cauliflower, quinoa-rice blend.
– Roast chicken, fennel salad, cauliflower mash (or roast cauliflower, let’s see).
– Fish (salmon) tagine using zhoug and chimichurri for cheater’s charmoula, and adding cauliflower, carrots, and potato
– Soy sauce chicken, tbd veg, quinoa-rice blend
– Spinach faux-gozleme using big chapatis from the freezer, some kind of soup on the side (maybe curried carrot or butternut squash)
– Potsticker patties or meatloaf with ground turkey
Not sure if this will align with what I’ll feel like eating while still jet-lagged, but at least it’s a start.
Stay warm, eat well!
