A seething mass of turgid drama.

This week's Resolution Recipe: Veg Breakfast Burritos.
"This is truly the most satisfying meal prep breakfast to make for a grab-and-go meal that truly ticks all the boxes!"

This week's Resolution Recipe: One-Pan Orzo with Spinach and Feta.
"Similar to spanakorizo, a Greek spinach and rice dish, this easy, meatless meal is deeply satisfying but still on the lighter side of pasta dishes."

This week's Resolution Recipe: Meat croquettes, or rather dumplings and ravioli.

Take skinned pork belly, boiled, and mince it thoroughly with a knife: take a good quantity of savory herbs, and pound them thoroughly in a mortar: put some fresh cheese on top of this and a bit of flour, and dilute it with egg whites, until it is stiff. And take a good quantity fresh pork fat, put it in a pan, until it boils, and make croquettes out of this; and once it has been cooked and taken out, put sugar on it.

This week's Resolution Recipe: Broccoli Rabe with Pine Nuts.
"The brawny flavor of broccoli rabe (aka rapini) meets its match with garlic and vinegar, and then gets a crunchy, sweet note from pine nuts."
( That's... basically the whole recipe right there. )

This week's Resolution Recipe: Healthier Chinese Chicken Salad.
( I'm tellin' y'all, it's cabbatage )

This week's Resolution Recipe: Scallops and Snap Peas.
"Chinese cooks have a culinary trick called velveting. The meat is par-cooked before it is stir-fried to give it a smooth, velvety texture."
