If you were going to make 4 recipes on repeat every week, what would they be?

He plans the meals based on the seasonality of fruits/veg/herbs and even meats. Everything is sourced from farms in MD/VA and WVA. It's wonderful.

Who is your chef/where did you find them?

A potato-y meal: baked potatoes and toppings, sheet pan gnocchi, or a hot dish or casserole (I like cabbage, sausage, apples, and potatoes). Could be white or sweet potatoes, or sub in a hard squash.

Vegetable soup/chili and bread, with salad. Right now I'm on a a kick of carrot-ginger-red lentil because it's so delicious and creamy.... even better with some coconut milk and curry powder!

Black pepper tofu with broccoli and eggplant over rice

Sheet pan pancakes with scrambled eggs or Greek yogurt and fruit

What’re sheet pan pancakes??

They are my new to me favorite way of making pancakes. Just mix up a batch of pancake batter, pour it on an oiled sheet pan, add toppings like blueberries or chocolate chips, and bake at 425 for 20 minutes. https://www.budgetbytes.com/sheet-pan-pancakes/ is a recipe from scratch but I generally use pancake mix...store brand if I want to be cheap and Kodiak if I am feeling fancy. I will never stand around pouring and flipping (and messing up and burning) pancakes again!

Thanks! Pancakes are a major food group at our house so I want to try this!

Too much meat. Not healthy.

OP didn't ask for criticism. They asked for what YOU would make.

Agreed. I really don't understand people who feel the need to voice their judgment when no one asked for anyone's opinion, just meal ideas. I think deep down they are very unhappy people. Maybe they should eat some meat and be a little happier.

I’m totally down with vegetarians/vegans if that works for them and they are healthy.

My friend and her family are vegetarian and they’re always sick and she is always sad/complaining/generally disgruntled with the world. I would never tell her this, but I do sometimes wonder if she would be happier if she ate a little meat!

The DCUM diet and exercise forums are full of wannabe herbivores extolling the virtues of eating like small rodents, and simultaneously complaining about being constantly hungry and protein-deficient. I always want to tell them to put down the seeds and twigs and eat the d@mn steak!
