I like to add other vegetables as well. Sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, etc in addition to the chickpeas.

I make this same dish and we love it. I usually add spinach, but never thought to add sweet or regular potatoes. Do you just cube the potatoes and add to the curry and cook until soft? (so 20-30 min, I’d guess?)

If not chopped up then soak the whole head of lettuce in cold water for 30 minutes to revive it.

I had frozen homemade green jackfruit koftas a month ago. So today's dinner was -
- Jackfruit kofta in tangy onion-tomato-garlic-ginger curry (cooked in mustard oil for the truffles flavor)
- Saffron rice with mixed veggis (beans, corn, carrots and peas)
- Pomegranate seeds (with smoked cumin, paprika, salt and a pinch of sugar) in yogurt raita.

Thanks for sharing, made a slightly modified version tonight since I had all the ingredients on hand. Three out of four liked it, so that counts as a win! Easy and tasty.

We hosted family and a party last week/weekend, so we have a toooon of leftovers.

Today we had rice-based leftovers (red beans and rice for one kid, spicy tofu and green beans for adults, toast and cheese for the pickiest kid) with fruit and salad.

Tomorrow will be leftover spaghetti and meatballs with salad. I might cook a spaghetti squash or some cabbage for a lower carb option.

Wednesday I have plans so it'll be leftover pizza from the party for everyone else.

Only on Thursday will cooking be necessary! I have ingredients for dal makhani. If the government is still shut down, I will have time to make my favorite chicken spinach and artichoke stew.

I made a vegetable lo mein with recipe by Recipe Tin Eats. Just subbed vegetables we had on hand.

Tonight is an Uyghur beef stir-fry with napa cabbage over cauliflower rice and homemade apple pie for dessert. Yesterday we had spaghetti with Sunday sauce. Tomorrow I’m making oven-baked cod fish with steamed broccoli.

Tonight was lentil soup (Pinch of Yum recipe) and good bread (bakery bought).

Rest of the week is-
-stir fry beef and broccoli
-crustless quiche with lots of veggies and cheese, with salad and rest of bread from tonight’s soup
-ground turkey and black bean tacos
-“homemade” pizzas using store bought dough (we usually make a pepperoni and a spinach/artichoke white pizza), and bagged caesar salad

Tonight was tomato soup and grilled cheese. Rest of the week is chicken thighs with broccoli and roasted baby potatoes,

Corn chowder

Beef stroganoff, that I will make a side section of just saucy mushroomy sour creamy to eat over noodles for the vegetarian. We do a lot of vegetarian and then some finagling!

Topped with lettuce, tomato and sour cream. Served with Spanish rice. It's one of my fave dinners.

It does sound good, but when I reread the recipe, there’s not one fresh ingredient listed. You could make this at the international space station. Just kidding! Saving this recipe for, “make this in case of an emergency”.

NP- lettuce, tomato and sour cream? Cheese?
But that doesn't matter. I do love a pantry dinner and this one is excellent.

Chicken teriyaki

All are easily made with air fryers and rice cookers. Wegmans is your friend. You can go their app, pick a recipe, and it will load the ingredients into your shopping list.

These sound revolting. Do you all ever eat anything healthy and/or fresh?

NP. First off, don't be such a b1tch. Second, what makes you think that chicken teriyaki (which is just a marinade) isn't fresh? Is that because you're stupid?

Not the PP, but I stay away from store made Asian dishes like Teriyaki, Orange Chicken, even Sushi due to too much sugar content. Sugar seems to be the key ingredient in many Japanese and Chinese dishes made for Americans.

Tonight is a NYT sheet pan dinner with sausages and arugula and croutons. Recipe calls for mushrooms but I am subbing eggplant.

Tomorrow is shrimp with a pontchartrain crabmeat sauce, rice, and a butter lettuce salad with tarragon dressing and a TBD vegetable.

Sunday dinner yet TBD.

Thank you! Just googled the recipe, made it with Italian turkey sausage from Giant, along w arugula, mushrooms and croutons from Chibatta bread. My DC said it was “fire”!!
The salad dressing reminds me of the flavor profile from chicken Marbella.

Dont know if this counts, but I had Rao's frozen meat lasagne (delicious!!) My daughter (12) had corndogs, snap peas, grapes.
