So when I looked ahead at my Nutrionist-created Meal Worksheet to see what was for dinner and saw Potato, Lamb, Tomato and Safflower Oil, I thought, well okay, good! Some kind of Indian dish is in the offering tonight. But whenever I went to a recipe, it called for many of the taboo or rotated-out-today foods. Grrr!!!! How am I ever going to make something with only these X ingredients?!
So, all this is a long way of saying: I found a great new website! Frustrated, I just Googled “Make recipe with ingredients on hand” and found Supercook! It is super intuitive: well designed, easy to use and OH so useful!!! I just typed in my basic available ingredients, highlighted my nutritionist’s “must have” ingredients (ground lamb, potato, tomato) and then just kept entering in all available veggies and spices for the day, which thankfully included coconut. (And, okay, I have to admit: I did move the ginger over from day three, but there was nothing to go with it for that day so I wouldn’t have used it anyway. And I also couldn’t find “curry” – to which I say “ignorance is bliss” ’cause if I don’t have it on my bad list OR my good lists, then it must be okay… right?
So then I modified the one recipe that came up and modified the heck out of it and came up with “Coconut Curry Lamb with Potatoes.” Well, we’ll see how it goes tonight.
