The New Years Resolution Will Not Be Televised! (but it will be blogged)

Saw Food, Inc. Kill me now.

My New Years resolution (besides working this fat ass out) is to shop at more farmers markets and eat smaller portions with the goal of being a bit more conscious of my consumption. Ima also do my best to plan out meals so I can double up on the ingredients I buy. How many times does your recipe call for scallions, you buy the bunch, use half, and throw the rest out a week later? So yeah, that shit cannot be happening.

Here is mine and B’s meal plan this week, all different meals that use many of the same ingredes:

Bright and Spicy Citrus Salad Over Rice

That Soba Noodle / Shiitake / Spinach jam on the NYTimes most emailed list for the past couple days.

B and I used to wok up some rice on the daily, haven’t in a while, looking to get back to our roots with some Pork Fried Rice. (wok, peanut oil, chopped pork chop, cooked rice (brown?), cabbage, carrot, siracha, sesame oil, cilantro, basil, bam.)

Although I get my Ashe on, on the reg, I also got a need for the chipotle to hit that tongue as well. I’ll be doing this poached shredded chicken breast with chipotle dressing this week as well.

Oh, and something with a sweet potato. All yall healthy people been squawkin about this shit for a while, I really wasn’t down, but I’m going to try it for lunch. I’ll let ya know how it goes.

Buckwheat Bonanza

Soba Noodles are my schmack foreal. I have always been a noodle nut but thought I would leave those brown healthy buckwheat noodles to the same freaks that are trying to eat fat free cheese and grilled tofu breasts. Little did I know I had no idea what I was talking about. Doesn’t sound like me, does it.

So, during my failed vagitarian trial, I thought I would go full hog and eat some cardboard noodles. But alas, no cardboard up in here. AND simple as shit to enjoy.

You know what else makes me jealous about Japan? They sell these noodles on the street and in train stations. What a goddamn upgrade from NYC’s dirty water dog and pretzel bricks.

Soba Noodles
Dried noodles for 2
Soy sauce to taste (go quality here, Japanese style or even tamari sauce instead)
Some sesame oil
A dab of chili oil
Sirachi to taste

Boil the noodles according to the instructions on the package. Add to your eatin bowls and throw on your oils and sauces. Eat with chopsticks cause you feel much more cultured that way.

What else yall think I should eat with this?
