    I am also a terrible cook - but my husband is cooking up a Thai red curry with pork. Super fragrant with galangal, kaffir lime leaves, lemon grass and coconut, lots of chili of course. I’m looking forward to it.

    I’m making a BLT pizza when I get off work today.

    My recipe, 1lb whatever bacon, frozen pizza crust, 1cup mozzarella cheese, 1 head romaine lettuce, 1 large tomato, 0.5 cup mayo (not fucking miracle whip gross). Fry up the bacon and crumble. Thaw pizza crust stretch to desired size. Top with mozzarella and crumbled bacon. Bake crust according to instructions. Top with mayo and sliced lettuce and tomato. Ezpz

        You aren’t cooking the mayo and lettuce, just the cust like you might the bread for a BLT sandwich. It’s basically just a large open face blt with mozzarella.

    we meal planned two weeks in advance and it’s been real nice to have to rely on. Switched up a couple days but easy delicious recipes in the plan help me stay with it even after a long day at work.

    Pretty lazy, just some pasta with tomato sauce. But I have some cheese that needs to be eaten and it goes well with it.

    I’m late so yesterday, we did a cook out with some family. Grilled up burgers/dogs, fries, and veggies. Brussel sprouts, mushrooms, peppers/onions/tomatoes.

    The brussel sprouts were enjoyed by all (well most).

    Oh I forgot bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers. Super good without breading.

    Tonight I’ll make bell peppers, fried tofu and noodles with soy sauce, sesame oil and salted roasted peanuts. Measurements for two people and two days:

    • 6 bell peppers
    • 3 onions
    • 400g / two blocks of firm (I think?) tofu
    • 400g of spaghetti (because it’s easier to get them gluten free here, you could use ramen noodles or whatever)
    • sesame oil, soy sauce, peanuts (store bought, but I guess you could roast your own) to taste
    • some oil for frying

    I’ll prepare the peppers for two days and the tofu and noodles for each day.

    Instructions:

    • fry onions (diced) and bell peppers (sliced into strips)
    • cut tofu into slices and fry from each side, generously salt them while in the pan, from each side
    • cook noodles in salted water
    • mix noodles, peppers, soy sauce, sesame oil and peanuts (or sesame seeds) on plate
    • place tofu on top

    I’m frying a burger patty, and then some diced potato which I’ll heavily spice with paprika, chillies, cumin, etc, and fry once the patty is done. Bit random, but I’m tired and want some flavour.
