Dr. Cara Berg Powers: Four nights in a row I have made tasty, nutritious meals that I planned ahead and actually bought ingredients for. Four nights! We've eaten at a reasonable hour, I haven't had to compost any vegetables. I even have eaten leftovers for lunch! I feel like I've earned a prize.

Meanwhile I'm making my child a second matzah pizza and that and a bowl of peas with Earth balance and pink salt is her dinner.

I made my usual tofu peanut curry, with onions, cauliflower, tomatoes, coconut, peanut butter, and coconut milk. Served over brown basmati rice. Tasty, easy, and 3 dinners of leftovers.

Looks delicious! Tonight I made a cauliflower parmesan Alfredo with spinach and lemon pasta. Last night I did tofu with fried brown rice and diced kale with a soy pear sauce.

You’re more ambitious than I; I can only work myself up to Big Cooking a few times a week. But it is cheaper, even when making something fancy.

I did a ton of prep on Saturday so nothing should take more than a half hour during the week. This comes after two weeks of ignoring food places and chucking too much groceries. My ADHD brain is satiated with the less steps.

Peanut curry? Oh yeah!

I used a can of red curry paste with the garam masala, instead of the usual powdered yellow, and dumped in a handful of coconut. Both good innovations,

Great idea. Look red curry and garam masala. How do you incorporate the pb? With coconut milk???

Of course. It provides the liquid. I add it gradually to keep the tofu from sticking while I sear it.

Gotcha. Thanks. Was looking for a twist on my curry. I think this is it!
