These are a total hit, I would absolutely suggest that if you would like to eat bread and potatoes at the same time that you do it in knish form. The dough for these is VERY forgiving and the filling is hearty and homey at the same time so these would be great next to a bowl of soup or a salad to make a full meal.
Just some good ol’ fashioned salads populating lunch this week. I don’t know what it is about salad except that it’s super easy and Andrew likes it so I try not to fight against the tide too much but also I kind of hate the quiet complacency of salad?
Mac and cheese, salad, nectarine 
Goulash, spatzel, salad, apple 
General Tso’s Cauliflower, rice, salad, nectarine 
Black bread with lox and cream cheese, roasted vegetables, grapes 
Pepper popovers with mushroom ragu, salad, carrots and dip, grapes
I made all five lunches for this week and I feel good about it because I didn’t waste any food and I managed to only make food that tastes great so that always makes me happy.
Japanese style chicken curry, rice, salad, plums
Zucchini pancakes, boiled egg, jam, grapes, nectarine
Jerk seasoned shrimp and vegetable bowl, sour cream, chips, and salsa
Potato au gratin, salad, carrots and hummus, grapes
Pb and j, coleslaw, grapes, nectarine
This is a very ambitious menu that banks on me wanting to cook and make many different things but somehow all my side dishes are still boring (!) but we’ll see how it shakes out. Now that’s colder outside, cooking does look much more attractive as a pastime.

Oh boy, a lot of salad and apples this week. Only four lunches because Andrew got to be on a yacht all day on Tuesday so that’s pretty cool. Maybe next week will be more varied but, this week wasn’t except for the main dishes so that’s something:
chickpea masala, rice, side salad, apple
matzo ball soup, salad, apple
chicken, bean, cheese quesadilla, carrots and hummus, plum
fish cakes, salad, carrots and hummus, apple
I did great with planning and execution this week so flying on that high I made a really simple menu in hopes that I can continue that trend (I always feel better if I manage to cook and eat all the things on my list). And yes, I am making scallion pancakes again! They were so good that both of us agreed we should eat more of them right away.

I packed the same thing on Tuesday that I had packed on Friday so it hardly seemed worth taking a second picture of it (despite clearly having packed the same thing probably a few times before inevitably but somehow it was just too boring and samey for me this time.

The weather has not been doing me any favors this week with it’s high humidity and total downpour every few hours but hopefully I can sneak in a little outdoor time this weekend and following week somehow. Have to remember to seize it when you’ve got it.
