#061 Lunchtime PreparaShawns

I was one productive little hausfrau today.

I not only made supper for tonight (waffled falafel), I made enough to take to work all week for lunch AND enough to freeze for an additional 5 meals!  

I don't know what I'm more excited about...  the productivity accomplished on a Sunday, supper to come, the fact that I don't have to schlep about all week to get lunchables, or the fact that they are delicious AND healthy.

AND, I don't know who is possessing me at the moment, but they can stay.

Well another home-run from Buzzfeed.

Tonight's menu was Waffeled Falafel.   Holy Healthy Eating Batman!  So simple, and sooooooooooo delicious!  

Already planning on making another super batch, (maybe 2 or 3 times the recipe) because apparently it freezes well and I can take them to work for lunch. 

What I love is when we find a recipe we like, really really like, we'll make it often. When it's a super healthy dish as well, it's even better! We're creatures of habit, and when that habit is delicious, we have no limits. 

Now it's time to get a little more creative with the garnishes. If you only knew just how regularly we plan out our meals in advance, (right now we have meals planned into next week). I think the only thing we like thinking about and planning more that the meals we're going to make, is plans for our annual summer vacations to PEI. (and that's a close second).

Some people eat to live, we live to eat, and that's a gfood thing.

As a standard rule I am not a fan of Brussels Sprouts*. 

I have never voluntarily consumed them.  I have only, 5 prior occasions eaten a few, to appease my Mother-in-law, because I'm a very good Son-in-law. Generally there are 4-5 on my plate at Thanksgiving or Christmas and that's about it. That's as far as I'll go.  

That all changed tonight because I not only ate Brussels Sprouts of my own volition, but it was basically because I found a recipe on Buzzfeed that contained them, and the pics looked so good I insisted Marcel make the dish. 

Not only was it delicious, but he's going to make it again this weekend! And next time he's going to make it spicier!

I can't say that I will become a lover of B.S. but I'm willing to continue to give them the benefit of the doubt that they can be a part of a delicious meal. 

Mushrooms however remain on my Do Not Eat List, and I do not foresee any change where they're concerned...

* Is it just me?  I always thought they were called Brussel Sprouts... or at the very least, Brussel's Sprouts. Who knew?! Eat a great meal and learn something at the same time! Win - win I say.
