Do you find that your weekly menu is stuck in a boring rut? It happens to the best of us.
Well, shake things up a bit. Step out of your comfort zone or twist your “usual” recipe into something new and exciting.
I do like most (or at least I think I do) and open cupboards and refrigerator doors and stare until I’m inspired or become too cold from the freezer air and have to close the doors lol😂 No, but seriously, I like to buy different spices and then work around them with multiple protein choices and sides.
So, today, I opened my spice cabinet and saw a bottle of dried lemongrass coconut curry spice mix.
I’m going to cut 2 pork loins into cubes, season them with the dried powder and dust them with rice flour. Then I’ll quickly sear them and place in my crockpot on high until fork tender. I love green veggies but my kids are 50/50 these days. I’ll make a pot of rice and chop up cilantro to mix in....and there’s dinner. Also, you can use the juices from the crockpot to make a sauce (or not).
You can’t go wrong if your base flavors tase good to YOU. I’m serious. It’s really that simple. Now, if you overcook or undercook your protein, that’s on you 😆
Have a Happy Thursday!
**I’ve been told that I’m socially awkward and that’s probably true. It’s hard for me to verbalize what’s swirling around in my brain (sometimes). But, here, I do hope I’m able to properly translate my message.
