Meal Prep Week-Long Power Bowls – Oh She Glows

Love having meals prepped in the fridge, but don’t have time? With my method you'll have power bowls all week with only 25 minutes prep time.

With meat prices going up and limitations being placed on how much you can purchase I want to try making some power bowls. I found the above recipe.

Has anyone made anything like this or have other good recipes?

I also found I can buy Bird's Eye power bowls in the freezer section. I really enjoyed the "New England Style" one I picked up at market basket. I also got a Southwest Style one at BJ's Wholesale Club (well one back had 8 single serving bags in it). These are good, and I really hold me well for being meatless.
 
Week 3 of Cooking Things That Aren’t Burgers on my grill. Tonight was leg o’ lamb - didn’t quite require the dexterity that the other ones did (in fact I couldn’t get my heat under control so it finished faster than I expected and I had to hustle to get the rest of dinner together), but the results were fantastic.

Coming in for a bit of a product plug: years ago I got signed up for Zingerman's Food Explorer club for a few months as a gift, and one of the things they sent me was Kitchens of Africa's yassa simmer sauce. Pretty nuts & bolts quick weeknight meal: brown some meat/tofu/vegetables, pour in the sauce, simmer for a few minutes, serve over rice. But I gotta say, as somebody who had not experienced any African cuisine prior to this (other than a bit of Ethiopian), it was really good. And I couldn't find anywhere to buy more of it, because Zingerman's stopped carrying it.

I've checked in on the company occasionally ever since then, and recently found out they finally have their own web retail up and running out of their HQ in North Carolina. I just got a big box of maffé, yassa, and Zanzibar curry simmer sauces, along with some Kaani hot sauce, delivered. Planning on some fish yassa tonight, and I"m really looking forward to sampling the others soon.

Anyway: great business, lovely owner who will personally respond to your emails, nice intro to some underrepresented cuisine, and a high quality pantry substitute for cooking from scratch with ingredients you might have to otherwise hunt for. Recommended with the disclaimer that I've only tried one product, one time, but I'm optimistic:

Niiiiiiiice! That sounds delicious Indy. Thank you for the recommendation and the description. I shall be trying some of this in my quest to taste all the flavors. ALL OF THEM! :)
 
trying Kenji’s chicken verde enchiladas, but could not locate any tomatillos, so making due with a store-bought salsa verde goosed with a little reserved liquid from the sous vide pulled pork I made a couple weeks back. We’ll see how this improvisation turns out.

meanwhile, had some honey habanero moonshine with coke and now working on a gin and tonic, so at the very least I’m gonna be drunk enough to enjoy whatever comes out of the oven.
 
I've recently been trying to sample more Scandinavian food in an effort to not only broaden my horizons but also prepare for a future trip to Norway. So this morning I made a gallant attempt at Smorrebrod, which is basically just really dense rye bread with some sort of fish, cheese, or butter on it. Sounds simple right? Its delicious! I used some Norwegian pickled herring, avocado, micro greens, and unsalted german butter (the closest approximation I could find). I could eat this stuff all day.

Unfortunately, I did not snap a pic before diving in but I shall remedy that for tomorrow's breakfast :)
