I promise I haven't given up already! I just had so much food in my fridge I had to eat some leftovers. There was nothing I could even do to make them into different meals. Also, I'm very very tired. No excuse, I know but I have not been sleeping well and I'm in a bit of a fog.
The good news is, I haven't bought a single meal out either day!! Yesterday I made oatmeal for breakfast, ate sushi for lunch, and had some soup and another pesto pizza for dinner. Today I had a protein shake for breakfast, chicken curry for lunch, and... well... I'm about to have more chicken curry for dinner. I don't like freezing the chicken curry because I don't like how the vegetables go in the freezer so it has to be eaten.
I froze some of the potato soup in individual containers, though, so I can pull those out next time I'm running short on lunch items!
Have no fear! I will make up for it this weekend! My mom is coming for a visit so I intend to come up with a muffin recipe (instead of the usual mix I use), I would love to make a beer can chicken, and I should pull the pork tenderloin roast out of the freezer one night as well. I'm also dying to make this pasta dish I learned from an old roommate and wonderful chef. It's very rich. Very VERY rich but so so delicious. It's the one recipe I pull out when I want to impress people but my stomach cannot handle the amount of dairy it contains so I know I'll have to suffer a little whenever I make it. I'll just give you a hint: it includes gorgonzola cheese and pears. Yum. Oh - and I'm sure R will put in a request for more sushi which will mean learning how to make tempura batter for shrimp! That will be a fun challenge!! Then we could make some tempura veggies too. The possibilities are endless!!
Watch for it all! And toss any recipes my way!! Whether it's a tried and true family recipe or a challenge you want someone else to try first I'll happily accept. I picked up the newest Food & Drink magazine from the LCBO today. I can't wait to see what's inside!
Happy eating!
