I tend to have some more free time on Sundays so I was hoping to start making some nicer and fancier diners.
I’d say I would have about 90 minutes or so that I could dedicate to prep time (or if it needs prepped the night before like a marinade that’s fine too) and pretty much as long as it needs for cooking too.
What’s your favorite meal to make on your weekends?
- Lasagna
- Breaded fish (or tofu slices) - dipped in flour, egg, and panko bread crumbs
- Big wok of stirfry
Sous vide fish or steak.
Slow bbq pork ribs.
I do sous vide fish and chicken all the time.
But BBQ ribs, that’s an idea. Might bum my dad’s smoker for an afternoon 🤔
My friend’s parents would make breakfast for dinner on Sunday nights. I always love an excuse to make breakfast.
You can get pretty fast at spatchremoveding a chicken and getting it ready to roast.
My favorite is a lemon pepper chicken over mushroom risotto. Feels fancy, doesn’t break the bank, is easy to pull together, and doesn’t leave many dishes.
I have a picky kid so dinners have gotten pretty basic over here. I used to make a crazy ‘world’s best lasagna’ recipe that required some time. Like all sorts of cheeses, that thing was gooooood.
Something I’ve never made but would love to try is like a Beef Wellington or something.
Hmmm. You should send me that recipe, lasagna is exactly the type of thing I’m looking for! I made enchiladas last weekend.
Not too hard (I’m not a good chef), takes too long for a normal night, spends some time in the oven so I can do other chores
I think it’s this one: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/23600/worlds-best-lasagna/
I’ve found that meal delivery kits are perfect for this situation, though they typically require a commitment of cooking at least 3 days a week. I like how they let you pick recipes ahead of time and then take care of the ingredients. I suck at planning, so having them take care of the planning so I can focus on the cooking has been awesome for me.
