Quick Tikka Masala
I don’t know why I’ve never tried tikka masala before given I love the flavors and simplicity of most Indian dishes. It also probably has to do with the fact that I always thought tikka masala had to be made with meat and it never really interested me beyond that.

A Meal Plan is the Best Plan
I’ve harped on talked about meal planning before because it really can make or break a healthy lifestyle. Fail to plan, plan to fail and what not. This weekend that point was really hit home for me.

So much loaded goodness….

It’s easy to use up odds and ends you might have, you can make a bunch of meals out of one dish, and there are so many different varieties of soup. Stew, bisque, brothy, chunky, creamy, pureed, gazpacho, vichyssoise, goulash… I’m like Bubba from Forest Gump naming all the shrimp dishes. I’m ok with that.
