It occurred to me recently that I really only cook the same few meals again and again right now.

It makes sense. I just don't have the time, energy, budget, and frequency of shopping that I used to have. Gone are the days when I could spend a leisurely hour dicing, chopping, and then sauteing 10 kinds of vegetables for Baked Ratatouille. Say hello to the days where dicing one (1) onion and throwing it in a pan with some ground beef is about as much as I can manage.

In the interests of Science, then, here are the 12 recipes I am currently reusing again (and again and again). I hope to one day return to my recipe adventuresomeness of yore.



That's it. That's pretty much all I ever cook anymore.

--sigh--  When I think of the hundreds of recipes I used to experiment with, from all corners of the world... my boxes of index cards filled with neatly inked recipes and my notes on them... my extensive spice collection, not very often used nowadays... I miss the old days.

But this phase of my life is not compatible with foodiness.
