Wednesdays are my second favourite days after Fridays.
It means if you’ve made it half-way, then you’re nearly there (to Fridays). On Wednesdays, you can also see what’s ahead of you, in the week ahead, a little bit more clearly. I usually take stock of our meals and because we just have one main meal a day, it’s important to know what those meals are.
Not the same proteins on consecutive days; should be chicken, something not chicken, possibly chicken.
Try to get vegetables every other day (ugh) if you can. In winter, this is next to impossible. Personally, I take fibre and other supplements to augment a lack of greens.
A dish can only be repeated once every fortnight (I have a wide repertoire)
Save the ‘bad’ dishes for the weekends (pork belly, baked chicken wings, baking etc.).
Try to lessen food-waste (I’ve been doing well on this front).
Personally, I don’t go for starchy, carbohydrate-rich meals (sure I do rice a couple of days a week, but I limit my intake to just over a cup) so I rarely do pasta (esp pasta bakes ugh), but I remember buying 500grams of Wagyu mince (it’s not that great really) and a pack of spaghetti (perhaps, the one pasta I never regret cooking) so spaghetti it is.
We had leftover cheese and jalapeño kransky sausages, so I had these along with the beef for a take on Filipino spaghetti, but not really, because there’s nothing I hate more than sweet spaghetti. I also didn’t use any pasta sauce, just used the last couple of tomatoes we had in the crisper ($14 for 6!), peeled and de-seeded.
That’s Wednesday done!
