Happy Tuesday, y’all!
I thought I’d share what I meal prepped for my first week back at work.
By the way, here’s me, yesterday, all ready to rejoin my sweet coworkers.
I cooked two dishes Friday afternoon after my doctor’s appointment.
First, though, was a late lunch in the form of a smoothie. I make a similar version of this, but this new-to-me recipe, posted by one of my favorite recipe creators, asks for tofu to bump up the amount of protein. It was delicious! I sipped on it while I prepared the other dishes.
The first was African Coconut Chicken Curry. Joyce had posted about it last week, I think.
Thank heavens for the Mr., who has a lot of experience serving as my sous chef given the number of surgeries I’ve had over the years.
I veganized it by cubing up a block of tofu, draining it, and frying it up after liberally sprinkling the cubes with salt and pepper.
I made a pot of rice to serve the curry with. What a flavorful dish!
Since the Mr. was in chopping mode, I got him to go ahead and chop up a couple more things for a second dish I wanted to prepare – Creamy Tomato Soup.
This recipe is in the cookbook pictured below – a longtime favorite of mine.
This recipe came together very quickly with a minimum number of ingredients.
All of that cooking made for a lot of dishes that needed to be washed up. I did every single one of them, using my left hand.
We had run the dishwasher earlier in the day, so it was still full of clean dishes, which is why they needed to be hand washed.
When Super Sis and I were growing up, we took turns with the dishes. One of us washed while the other dried. It was the cause of many an argument because we never could remember who’d gotten the best job – the washing. Our mom finally had to post a chart in the fridge to keep us straight.
We took pride in our stacks of clean but wet dishes. The Mr. is forever telling me that it’s not a contest to see how high I can stack them.
So, what are you eating this week?
Do you meal prep?

I love to meal prep my lunches, but I haven’t had time over the last few weeks. I feel so much healthier when I am eating food and know how it was prepared. You are doing so many things with one arm. I am so impressed.
Awww . . . thank you! I really need to pace myself better because I wind up doing too much and paying for it later.
