Cooking Woe

[hisui_ryoshi]

So I'm trying new things in the kitchen this week. I don't like to cook, so I scouted meals that boast a 20 minute or less prep time on the internet and came up with several recipes last week. I decided to make them all this week. Which okay, was probably too ambitiousness

I happen to be fond of meatloaf and have a great recipe for it.

Sorry to hear about your Tandoori Chicken!

Sauteed spinach and mushroom salad sounds good. Good luck with it!

I think it's just a consistency thing with the meatloaf.

Thank you for the luck. I'm going to need it.

Good for you for trying new things! I've found that casseroles are easiest for me to make. I'm so not a cook and get frustrated with most other things. Plus casseroles provide several meals in one.

I've never tried a casserole because I've been limited to meals with 1-2 servings. Chris will not under any circumstances eat leftovers. So I always felt like a lot of food was going to go to waste. So we eat a lot of the pasta meals that have meat and vegetables included. However, I'm sick of it and it's not as good for you so I'm looking for a change.

I don't like the dishes (I know, you're shocked) that come with cooking though so I don't know if I'll stick with it or not. I found an interesting baked chicken recipe that I'm about to eat that was super easy and definitely more the style I was looking for.

That's annoying that Chris refuses to eat leftovers. That's all we eat for lunch. You could always make a casserole and freeze the leftovers. Then you could either serve it for dinner in a month or thaw it and take it for lunch. Would Chris eat leftovers if it had been a long enough period between when you first made it and when you served it again?

I think it's the issue of reheated food more than repeated food. I'm not sure why he's so opposed, but his mother tells me he's always hated leftovers.
