Day 20: Meal Prep

Leah and I are two very different types of cooks. Leah likes to find a recipe ahead of time, buy ingredients for it, and know what meals will be available over the course of the week. I typically see what we have in the fridge and throw together a meal. It lets me change up what we eat and buy the fruits and vegetables that look the freshest. We decided to compromise and plan out two meals every week and then let me wing the rest of it.

For this week, she chose a meal that requires tofu. Tofu is all sold in plastic so we are going to take our first stab at making our own. This looks like a bit of a tedious process though. It’s going to require making soy milk and then using that soy milk to make tofu. We went grocery shopping today to get everything we need and are going to take a stab at starting to make soy milk in the morning. I’ll let you know how it goes and post some recipes.

I decided to make one of my thrown together recipes tonight and it turned out really well. I made a stuffed acorn squash with a quinoa and veggie filling. Check out the recipe here!
