I made our now-usual lemon-garlic shrimp. I followed the tip on that page and did a quick defrost. Between frozen shrimp and the other stuff we usually have around, this is a super-easy “pantry”(ish) meal.
I also roasted broccoli. I tossed the broccoli with oil then added salt and Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute. I roasted it at 400°F covered for about 15 minutes then uncovered for a little less than 25 (last 12 with the shrimp in the oven).
Overall, it was a lot of food but really good and (relatively) healthy

I made us tofu satay like I had before. Not much too it. I did it on the metal skewers this time (the thinner ones actually worked better). I also grilled eggplant. It was fine, but I seem to recall liking it more last time. Still, it was pretty good and a low-calorie meal. We used some leftover sauce from last time and skipped all of the other stuff (we were hungry and it was late).
We had the leftovers on Sunday and made more sauce and cucumbers.

Standard Turkey Taco Skillets. We used one big onion and 3 peppers. Salted more as we went at all steps. Also added a zucchini. Interestingly, I found we had frozen roasted corn. We must have used that before too...
Served with Wholly Guacamole

Another of what is becoming a pretty good and simple meal (if we plan slightly ahead). Sous Vide Sausage cooked at 150° for about 2-3 hours (this time) and then cut and finished in a pan.

I made us fish tacos with cod. I made curtido to top it. We also used store-bought pico de gallo to save having to make it.
For the cod, I did it with salt, pepper, and a bit cumin on one side. On the other side, since I ran out of cumin, I did a bit of 21 Seasoning Salute on the other side. I sautéed it for about 2-3 minutes on each side with the pan very hot.
They fish was good but the problem was, we bought Trader Joes Corn Tortillas and they were awful. I heated one on the pan which was fine but the others were really not very good.I would absolutely not buy them again

Meredith and I made spring roll salad basically using that recipe. Meredith made the sauce by doubling everything but the sugar (though she said that next time she would go heavier on the curry paste). She also blended it since all we had was chunky peanut butter.
We didn't do lettuce but added a zucchini's worth of noodles. We also used regular cabbage (but already chopped). And we skipped the cellophane noodles.
We also used a 16oz thing on cooked chicken from Trader Joes chopped up.

I made faladel with the second half of the last batch. Served it with harissa (leftover) and Trader Joes Eggplant Hummus (very good. A bit airy, but enjoyable). Had it with bread.

This was basically a repeat of a couple of weeks ago. It's a pretty easy and good meal. We each had different sausages. I had pork andouille and hot Italian chicken. Meredith had pork jalapeño (and didn't like it) and Santa Fe green chile.
I did the normal sous vide at 150°F. Other than that, we again had asparagus cooked at 400°F for about 6 minutes
