Gefüllte Süßkartoffeln | Stuffed Sweet Potatos

English version below

Ich schreibe mir immer Wochenpläne für mein Mittagessen auf der Arbeit, damit ich rechtzeitig einkaufen kann und Mr. Squirrel vielleicht auch schon mal ne Komponenten vorbereiten kann. Der Wochenplan macht alles einfacher! :D Und manchmal scrolle ich dann einfach durch Facebookgruppen und lasse mich vom Essen anderer inspirieren. Irgendwo habe ich dann gefüllte Süßkartoffeln gefunden... und wieder verloren. Da hab ich einfach reingepackt, was noch so da war!

Kleine Vorwarnung: Die Cashews für die Sauce müssen 4 Stunden in Wasser liegen. Es ist hier praktisch einfach am Tag vorher ein paar Sachen vorzubereiten. Zum Beispiel Süßkartoffeln backen und Cashews einweichen.

Another Lunch: Green Curry Creamed Potatoes, Beans, Peanuts with Spinach, Peas and Onions

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

Would I even consider this a real recipe? No. It's just the panic-y "I don't want to go grocery shopping - what's left in pantry and freezer?" meal. But you never know if anyone can is it as inspiration! After all, it's a quick and easy lunch.

Simple: Brussels Sprouts FTW

I always eat Brussels sprouts when Mr. Squirrel isn't home because he hates them. But I don't. :)
A super tasty way to make them is to boil them first and to then fry them.

Curry Coconut Milk Potatoes with Spinach and Cauliflower

Yet another Tuesday work lunch! Monday nights are always a bit of a challenge because I want to cook something nice for my colleague and myself. Something that can easily be taken to work, heated up, and then eaten. And since my friend - unlike me - does not appreciate the taste of meat (and never has), I always want to make sure I make a wholesome, nice meal without making it seem like I'm just bringing side dishes. Curries and chilis are the obvious choice... and for today I did another curry based dish, but a little different from the green Thai curry or the regular tomato based curry. I have something similar every time we are at the Indian restaurant with my boyfriend's parents, ... except they put much more garlic in there. Which I like. But I don't really consider that a great idea for work lunches. So, if you eat this in the privacy of your home or do not care if your breath wreaks havoc on humanity: Don't forget to throw in as much garlic as you like!
