When it comes to midweek dinners, I normally try to keep it hassle free because I normally have to make at least two different meals on a daily basis (and that’s not counting my sensory eater’s daily freezer pizza or pasta). But then, I rally don’t want to eat my picky eater’s food either. I don’t know how many of you are in the same shoes, but it our house food is a real pain. Anyway, the point came long ago where I stopped worrying and just go with the flow.
So, midweeks are for quick and easy dinners – as it is the case with many of us. This vegan Thai sweet potato curry is super easy and it’s ready in 40 minutes. It’s a classic in our house, for we always have cans of coconut milk, chopped tomatoes and chickpeas stocked – and of course the veggies can also vary as you wish! Throw in some squash, broccoli or regular potato – whatever needs to be used up really.
I added Thai black rice as a side but Thai sticky rice or basmati are also good.
Enjoy!
