1 // CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS
in a bowl, add peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, chili oil, squeeze half a lime. taste it and when it seems good add enough water to make it saucy enough to coat the amount of chicken you have (prob like 1/2 cup). separately, dice bell peppers into little squares, dice garlic and also an onion or shallot. in a hot pan with oil, cook up your veg mix for a few mins (decide how crunchy you want the peppers), set aside. add a splash more oil and your ground chicken. once itās fully cooked and starting to brown, add back in your veg and your sauce mix. taste it at this point and maybe splash some more soy sauce on it. eat straight up with a spoon or use lettuce (green leaf or butter) to make little wraps!

Broiling chicken thighs- this is my favorite way to cook chicken- try a marinade or just oil, s and p. It gets sizzling and almost a grilled texture for like ten minutes of cooking time- you canāt screw it up, and itās juicy.
Ground turkey- I either do it taco style or something like larb- linked- and make bowls for the week.

Works great as a hot dish with a starch or as salad additions! marinades add awesome flavor to the chicken pretty easily- 1/4 cup each red wine vinegar and olive oil, 6 grated garlic cloves, 2.5tsp salt, and a bunch (1tbsp) of dried oregano is roughly the Molly Baz marinade recipe I tried this week on a pack of chicken thighs, and it was great! Added some roasted carrot and rice pilaf for one dinner, then added the carrots and chicken to a salad today.
I also have gotten into making a flavorful ground turkey for a base - either taco style and make burrito bowls, tacos even nachos lol OR a larb style (recipe linked) and do a larb bowl with rice or mix the turkey with wavy stir fry noodles or cold rice noodle bowls. If you donāt mind eating things with the same flavor profile for multiple days, there are a bunch of options with these two flavors.
I like making things from scratch, but Iāve found using premade marinades and sauces makes it so much easier.
I am lactose too- these should all be fine to do without dairy! I just do guac or get lactose free sour cream on the taco nights

- chicken breast
- onions
- pasta of your choice
- green and/or red peppers
- tomatoes
- salt / pepper
- heavy cream
- shredded cheese or Parmesan
preseason your chicken and cook with little oil and medium heat, flip abt every 5-7 minutes until theyāre crispy, brown and a little black to your preference ofc
When the chicken is done you cut it into slices to your liking (I do straight slices like tenders)
You can boil your pasta in a separate pot while the chicken cooks
& in the same pan you cooked the chicken, caramelize your onions, and add your veggies & then add your pasta & heavy creamā¦
let everything simmer on low hit for abt 2 minutes & then add your chicken, mix it all together, cover your pan & then let it simmer on low for 5-10 minutes
& whenever your ready top it off with your cheeseā¦ Let it melt into everything else & then itās ready!

just move towards one thing that makes you happy, one go at a time. if it becomes a pattern, think about what it is about the thing that makes you happy. move towards it, one diy, one event, one forum at a time. also know that you can reinvent yourself hundreds of times in this lifetime, so goals are arbitrary. what matters is that you spend most of your days with at least a bit or a lot of joy. oh also remembering that your career ā what fulfils you. sometimes we work just to have $$ to do what we really want to do (cook/draw/knit/make music etc). in the end, your life will be made up of many small moments, so just try to enjoy yourself. at least thatās how i do it :)

once a week i clean out my fridge of anything old and crusty, then i go get groceries. when i get back i have a clean space to work in and then i chop and prep for like 2 hrs. just a bunch of side dishes/prep for cooking later. simple stuff like preparing minced garlic, hard boiling eggs, etc. can be as fancy as you want or as simple. makes me happy for the rest of the week :)
