halfway through february and i feel like this month has done a number on me already. i'm not saying meal prep has been a lifesaver, but it's definitely come in handy. here are a few things i've made recently.
chicken thighs with tomatoes and feta: past me bought some harissa from trader joe's and hadn't gotten around to using it yet, plus i had some chicken thighs in the freezer. also i love feta and any excuse to buy mightyvine tomatoes is fine with me. i added a couple two tree cloves of smashed garlic with the tomatoes because garlic. also seasoned the chicken with garlic powder along with salt because i hadn't fully committed to using the smashed garlic at that point. this was good, especially with the crockpot mashed potatoes i made.
also made these beer-glazed pork chops because i had everything for them except fresh rosemary. i think i used a teaspoon of dried rosemary and also some garlic powder, because skipping garlic was clearly some sort of oversight. beer of choice was hopslam because it was in the fridge and why not use a 10% abv beer for cooking? you cook with what you like to drink, right? right. this sauce didn't thicken as much as i would've liked, so i'll have to think about possible remedies for that if/when i make it again.
i've been eating this bulgogi-style skillet chicken for dinner this week and i wish i'd sliced the chicken breasts thinner. i skipped the sesame seeds because no way was i buying something i'd only need a tablespoon of. i roasted some broccoli and have been having that on the side instead of rice because while i love rice and make sure there's a stash of microwavable rice on hand at all times, i just wasn't feeling it this week. it's fine. i'm making bootleg jambalaya (read: a box of zatarain's with some smoked sausage) for next week's meal prep and that'll satisfy whatever rice deficiency i might have.
hopefully i'll have the spoons to post some non-recipe content soon. hope y'all are well.
