Ommmmm |
Well,
I tried to write a blog post about the latest developments at work, but it didn’t
really come off. (Anything that makes DP flinch visibly is destined to
oblivion in the ‘Drafts’ folder, I’m afraid.) So I’ll just say that the
situation remains in flux, and that I’m taking it one day, task, project at a
time. Working on maintaining my zen. You know.
It
does use up a lot of a mental energy though, which has been sapping my cooking
mojo of late. I haven’t mustered the energy to cook anything new for a good
couple of weeks, and when I do my weekly meal plan (Saturday mornings, before
heading into the farmers’ market), I have found myself relying almost
exclusively on fallback recipes – the ones I barely have to think about, let
alone look up recipes for. With two experimentation-wary eaters to feed, and 5-7 evening
hours a week spent on work calls, I can’t spare the brain space.
Which
got me thinking: I bet everyone has at least a few no-brainer recipes – the ones
that you can essentially make in your sleep. What are yours? I’d love to know, if you’d be
kind enough to share in the comments.
These
are mine. It's a rare month when I don't cook most of these at least once anyway, and they've been in heavy rotation of late, both for ease and for comfort:
Chicken:
Lemon-mustard
chicken
Pork:
Italian bangers and mash (ie Italian sausages + Italian
baked potatoes with oil)
Soup:
Basic
tomato soup
Dessert:
Blondies
(aka Fudgey choc chip slice) | Browned
butter chocolate chip cookies | Frosted cake/cupcakes (chocolate
| vanilla)
| Oat-fruit
bars
