Wow! That went fast!
Dinner prep went great and lunches were all delicious leftovers.
Thinking of coming up with a rating system. One point/star for each of the following
- Everyone likes it
- minimal prep/cook time
- Leftover/Freezer friendly
- Cost effective
- Will make again
I’m only going to rate the new recipes…
-
Slow Cooker Char Siu Pork roast : 5 stars… Very yummy and easy to prepare. Made dinner and several lunches!
-
Japanese Beef bowl & rice: 5 stars … Easy peasy! I can see adding a veg to it… carrots or broccoli maybe. But oh so good! Should get an extra star for being a one bowl meal too.
-
Sesame Chicken Pasta : One star… for cost. I could see this as a good summer pot luck dish. The recipe made a HUGE amount!
-
Seoul-ful Chicken with Minted Cucumbers & Rice: 3 stars… (make again, cost, freezer) It is really only partially freezer friendly. The cucumbers wouldn’t freeze, but the chicken will.
-
Pot stickers definite 5 star! Have made several batches already. I liked the dough best when I ran it through my kitchenaid mixer but even when I didn’t it was nice. I’ve tried freezing a few before cooking to see how well they cook after thawing. We used leftover char siu pork and beef bowl meets so all I did for the filling was chop them into smaller pieces. Dough could be made ahead too.
This week has only a few mediterranean recipes and we’ve already tried one.. keftedes! Yumm!
