Prepping for the Week

Usually Tuesday is my Friday but because my schedule is changing today is my Monday. I also woke up to a light dusting of snow. It's safe to say I have the Monday blues. Luckily for me I spent some quality time in the kitchen yesterday. Kitchen time always makes me happy, and I now have some lentils and red lentil patties for work and after work meals.

I made red lentil patties and dipping sauce for work, baked some tofu, made rice to cool and prepped veggies for a curry fried rice recipe (see my notebook!) and also cooked some green lentils to add to pasta after work. All while watching/listening to The Young Turks. Absolute heaven!

Here is the fried rice. I wrote down the recipe and while it was really tasty I feel like it needs a little something extra. I'm thinking lemongrass or maybe just a squeeze of lime? I'll tinker with it. Fried rice is another easy meal I could prep for. Once everything is chopped and diced it comes together in minutes. This was full of  edamame, cilantro and green onion with crushed red pepper and curry powder to spice it up.

The girls are bummed just like me that it's cold again. Even though Joan loves laying on the heat vent, she really loves sniffing the air an talking to the birds and squirrels!
