My apologies to Michael Pollan.
When it comes to food, I like to keep things spontaneous. I often do not decide what's for dinner until late afternoon, until I get the "inspiration" - often when I only have a few minutes to prepare a meal. Being a quick cook and a vegetarian, I could get by with this until recently.
The arrival of a baby meant that creative meals everyday was not an option - in fact, it meant chaos - in addition to all the chaos that comes with a baby. The answer? Meal planning for weekdays. And leaving the creative menus for the weekends.
How life changes after baby!

ReplyDeleteNice post...I am like that too, sometimes not sure what to make until close to dinner time...thanks for visiting my blog...about the notes, sorry I seem to have missed it, I have added it now...I simply process Quaker 1 minute oats in my spice grinder until it turns into fine powder...you can use store bought oat flour too
ReplyDeleteI need inspiration to cook too, and it so important to me, that days when I lack one, I end up not cooking at all and eating a simple omelette with left over dal and rice.
