Whew. Things are heavy right now, huh? I just finally pulled out my debit card and donated to an organization working to post bail for protesters. I’ve been sitting with the heaviness for days now, doing what I can. I hope you are too.
We still need to eat, though, especially in times where our hearts are hurting. Here’s what I’m planning to cook for my family this week. Maybe you will take inspiration and prepare a home cooked meal for your loved ones as well.
- I’m craving stir fry lately. I bought a stir fry kit and some Hodo tofu (honestly the best tofu I’ve ever come across). I’m planning to crisp up the tofu in the oven using some cornstarch and the mix it with a simple stir fry sauce like this. If I go to the store before dinner, I think I’ll also make my favorite cucumber salad to go with it.
- I’m obsessed with my drop biscuits recipe, but I also want to explore buttermilk biscuits. I have some buttermilk in my fridge this week leftover from Ian’s lemon cake, so now’s the time. Maybe we’ll do a breakfast for dinner situation and have fried eggs with our biscuits. yum!
- The name of the game for me lately is salad. Can’t get enough. I’m going to make this elote salad for sure. I also really need to try this Chopped Thai Salad. Wow, that looks good.
- Keith really likes salmon. I am just meh about it, but I think I’ll be a good partner this week and pick up some salmon for us to grill. Salmon just screams for roasted sweet potatoes, doesn’t it? Plus some sauteed kale? Okay, I can get behind it.
- Lastly, Beef & Ginger Stir Fry with white rice. I made this once before and adored it. Need a repeat.
What are you cooking this week?
