Red Curry Shrimp

Hi, it’s me, your friend who has a new recipe for us to make. If you like curries, I bet you’ll like this simple Red Curry Shrimp I made this week. This is a curry that gets better the second day and that’s PERFECT for meal prep/leftovers. With all the working from home, dinner leftovers make work lunches so simple. 

 

It’s also pretty versatile- you can play around with the vegetables.

I think sweet potatoes would be good in there too! I’ll try that next time.

Hooray for another dinner to add to the rotation!!!! I was getting pretty bored for a bit.

Happy Monday, friends!

This weekend we celebrated Cooper’s 12th birthday, caught up on housework and did some meal prep. This week Cooper is going back to school (in person) and I have so many mixed feelings. There will be new systems in place with school/homework/gatherings etc. and I am bracing myself for whatever happens. Oof. 

At least I am starting the week prepped!  Here’s my meal prep this week:

Currently September 2020

Currently September 2020

September was weird, filled with some ups and downs.  Cooper’s school started back up.  We are glad to have Cooper back in school so we can work from home with less distraction. It’s been tough to juggle it all!  We have had so many fires here in California that it makes every day unpredictable. When you’re stuck at home AND cannot go outside because of the air, it’s really a big bummer.  Another bummer is that another one of my good friends moved out of California and that makes me so sad. Life is just not the same as it was! 

Here’s my September spread from my Currently Workbook.
