Do you plan meals for each day of week or are you a 'fly by the seat of your pants' type cook'? I've always been a flyer unless it's cooking for Christmas, birthday celebrations or dinner parties. Come 6.00p.m. I've either got my head buried in the pantry, fridge or freezer looking for inspiration. I have a big pantry that is crowded, you might even say over stocked with food but it doesn't seem to help me decide what to make for dinner. So I thought perhaps a meal planning session each Sunday night might help me out.
Last week I made three dinners on my list, the favourite being Chicken and Zucchini Patties which I served with another new recipe Pine nut and Currant Couscous. Last night I made Tuna and Tomato Risotto (adding spinach leaves to make it a more complete meal) which was nice too although I'm having a problem getting the rice just cooked when I make risottos. It was just a little underdone although I followed the recipe exactly, had the stock simmering as it was added to the rice etc.
So my two questions are. Do you use a meal plan for the week and how do you make a successful risotto?
I'd love to hear your answers.
Have a great day,
