On this second to last day in March..
Monday: Chicken Tikka Masala. My new recipe to try.
Tuesday: Chickpea Saute from Plenty. Did I wait long enough to make this again?
Wednesday: Lentil Soup
Thursday: Black bean and Rice Skillet
Friday: Pizza. Are you asleep yet?
I completely burnt myself out last week. I was in a tizzy about casting aside my winter routines and forging ahead to lighter meals for spring. The ramifications: pizza was ordered on Thursday night. And Friday became an easy frittata with potatoes and the leeks i hadn't used yet. But it also meant I was eating a wonderful roasted vegetable salad for lunch each day. I'm beginning to see Tamar Adler's approach to cooking as much less revolutionary and much more commonsensical. Prep work pays off. I don't know that I'll roast all my vegetables every Monday. But I will sometimes. In the same vein, I'm doing more prep today that usual for the week ahead. I soaked all the beans I plan to use, and I'm prepping my chicken for tomorrow night and making the sauce as well. This is all happening mostly because it is a dreary, easy Sunday afternoon.
I enjoyed reading this article this weekend. I hope you had a nice one.

Looks great! I am going to add the masala recipe to my list soon. I might try out chickpeas and cauliflower with it?? And, lastly, that article is really thoughtful and heartwarming. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea. I'm going to do that next time.
