This is what I cooked last week. Take it as a humble brag or the start of your meal plan for this week.

“The recipe doesn’t specify a variety so I used red lentils based on the image. I was surprised they were still firm after slow cooking.”
Curried Lentil-Tomato Soup

“This is one of my favorite salads, and it’s a good one to make for guests. Make sure to really char the peppers.”
Grilled Chicken Salad with Romesco Sauce

“‘Oh hell yes’ — My wife’s review after one bite. The recipe makes 4 tostadas. I would at least double it if you are serving 4 people.”

“Ensure the gnocchi is tender inside, otherwise it tends to split and fall into the grill. Either way, crispy gnocchi is delicious.”

“If you love cheeseburgers but wish they were easier to eat with a fork, have I got a recipe for you!”
Cheeseburger Fried Rice

“This is a good one to make for guests. It’s tasty, though the pickled carrots feel a bit mellow after only 45 minutes.”
Carrot and Smoked Salmon Salad

“This feels like take-out caliber satisfying Indian food. If you don’t have good enough flatbread to go with it, it’s a naan issue.”
Chicken Korma

“I think the small diced beef is what makes this stew compelling to me. They’re a good texture and loaded with pepper.”
Beef and Barley Stew

“I’m not sure charring the scallions did a whole lot, but it was a good salad.”
