Just sorted 4 bags of herbs into mixes for green goddess sauce over the year. This is laborious but future me appreciates it so much!

As a budget thing, I've taken to buying family packs of chicken leg quarters, breaking them down into drumsticks and thighs, removing the skin, and then packaging everything up in individual servings for the freezer (and freezing the chicken skin too for rendering when I have enough to make it worthwhile). I was in the midst of doing all this at my kitchen table when suddenly I realized I had an audience - my cat. I've done this prep routine any number of times without Mr Swayze showing any interest, but there he was tonight, pacing about my little kitchen around and behind me, definitely fascinated by all this raw carnivore-food aroma his human was releasing. It wasn't his full-on begging mode as he didn't vocalize (oh he's got a whole vocabulary of mrrts and meows, believe me!) but his level of interest was definitely clear. Fortunately the old gent is a little too arthritic to go table-diving, but I did hasten to get everything sealed up and stowed away safely before things got out of hand. 😹

I prepped and made so much food today!

I prepared the following for this week:

  • 700 ML of Italian tomato sauce packed with lots of kale and basil.
  • 650 ML of Jamaican Jerk Sauce
  • 700 ML vegan mung bean egg
  • 600 ML silken tofu chocolate and mixed berry protein smoothie
  • 90g of black rice
  • 90g of of steel cut oats

@scremlin made:

  • 8 meatballs
  • 400g roasted broccoli
  • 200g grilled asparagus
  • 100g of whole wheat pasta
  • 150g of roasted peas
  • 150g of roasted edamame

We also stocked up on fried firm tofu, tofu filets, vegan steak pieces, frozen veggies, and vegan tuna/salmon.

I am so exhausted, but we should be good to have easier healthy meals all week! It's so much easier to make a healthy weeknight dinner decision if you've already prepped a sauce that you know is delicious and healthy. The way we do it when we're watching our weight is to pick two different kinds of cuisine and then just make a crap ton of two sauces that work for those cuisines, then we plan all our meals day of based on which sauces are available.

This week will be Italian and Jamaican. I am so freakin' excited for jerk marinated grilled tempeh toasted sandwiches! I have been craving this for YEARS.

Has anybody ever made something with dried tamarind?

Looking to expand my skill set and am intimidated by the process.

Would like to add it to pepper sauces we make instead of tomatoes for pasta sauce, tamarind adds tang we need to complete the effect. So far we have used purchased tamarind paste, but it is hard to find. I can easily find dry tamarind though.
