May the fourth be with you, Internet.
I am in a phase of Deep Dinner Discouragement. Every day – even when I have the ingredients on hand for meals I have chosen – I look helplessly at the refrigerator and then helplessly at my husband and then either suggest we scrounge for food ourselves or order takeout. We have had MANY a snack dinner this past week, my friends.
These are the meals I have chosen and may not in fact make at all this week.
Dinners for the Week of May 4-10
- Red Curry: This is delicious and we haven’t had it in so long… but it requires a discouraging amount of vegetable prep.
- Cod with Mango Salsa: Healthy, yummy, fairly easy.
- Salad with Goat Cheese and Some Sort of Protein
- Tacos
- Chipotle Chicken Tortilla Soup: So good. Also prep-heavy, but produces lots of leftovers.
- Mother’s Day Mexican Food
Someday I will require my love for cooking! In the meantime, what are you eating?
God I don’t know. Whatever.
Yes. My mood exactly.
Oh, tonight it’s Stouffer’s French Bread Pizzas and a caesar salad kit, I feel you, lady.
I would fear for my life if I didn’t feed the masses. So – leftover ham that’s in the crockpot from Friday. A huge hit. Last night chicken tacos. Leftover spaghetti and meatballs from last week. (notice a theme here: I make mass amounts of food and serve leftovers which means I can avoid meal prep a few nights a week). Meatloaf since it is still chilly here. Good luck getting your love of making dinner back – if that is even a thing.
I was super sad because I had thought we would do a (safe, outdoor) bbq with my parents for Mother’s Day but we are in another lockdown, so no. However, my husband told me this morning that he and the boys are going to make dinner Saturday AND Sunday, which perked me up.
Another lockdown! Noooo!!!!
