Good Things Friday (380) and Link Love
June 12, 2026
1. I cooked a stir fry and that’ll be good for two meals: Dinner and a day of leftovers.
I’m very proud of myself for including two veggies (green beans and snow peas) and two proteins (pork and tofu). I wanted to add more veggies (napa cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots) but I would have to go much further afield to shop at a produce place that lets me control the volume of veggies. The place we went to prepackages normally loose veggies. While that probably reduces waste for them, it locks me into 1+ lbs of each veggie which means 5 veg types is entirely too much to make a single dish. I couldn’t even fit all the green beans in this one.
That means either I buy more types and some of it goes to waste OR I have to figure out how to use it all up in more than just one stirfry, fail, and then it goes to waste. I settled for only 2 veggies and not wasting.
It’s been hard to find the time to cook in the past 2 years of hellishness so these are baby steps back to a routine that I feel better about.
