Taco bar today. I dump canned chicken in a pan and heat it up with cumin and chili powder, then put it in a bowl. No one suspects that it's canned.
|
| canned chicken is not cheap for the amount of chicken you get. It doesn't take long at all to cook a breast or thighs. |

My boys love chickpea coconut curry (if it's not authentic, I really don't care, that's not the point).
I just wing it, but this recipe is close to how I make it https://jessicainthekitchen.com/coconut-chickpea-curry-recipe/ I like to add other vegetables as well. Sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, etc in addition to the chickpeas. |
| Dinner tonight is what I just made -- a "Mexican Bean Bake" I saw on a Youtube video made by someone I follow who makes recipes from vintage cookbooks. 1c bisquick mixed in with a can of refried beans, a small can of green chiles, and a 1/4 c salsa, put into a baking pan and topped with 3/4 c salsa and shredded cheddar and baked for 1/2 an hour. Topped with lettuce, tomato and sour cream. Served with Spanish rice. It's one of my fave dinners. |

Loin lamb chops, broccoli. Pasta or baguette.
I got the chops at the butcher for special meal but seeing what the ones they wrapped for me look like (half fat) I will cook them tonight. Reminds me of the old Haymarket produce stalls. If you know you know. |
| 13:26 cook after trimming as best I can. Ugh. Memo to self ask to see them before wrapping. |

Yesterday was beef tacos. Tomorrow we’ll be eating out. Thursday is pasta puttanesca with tuna. I don’t cook on Fridays.
