next_to_normalI have definitely lost some of my enthusiasm for cooking. I still like eating actual meals instead of pasta and frozen pizza all the time, and I like the feeling of accomplishment when I make something that actually tastes good. But the novelty has worn off, and all the recipes I look at are starting to sound the same. So let's play a game. Post your favorite foods or meals and we'll see if any of them inspire me. It'll be like drabble prompts, but with food.
Anyway, the other night I did try a new stir fry which was simple and delicious - Honey Walnut Shrimp. I started with this recipe and made some modifications. I used 12 oz. of shrimp, 1 cup of carrots, 2 cups of sugar snap peas (I don't like zucchini), and maybe a 1/4 cup of walnuts, which made about 2 servings. I also ended up adding extra honey (maybe another tablespoon?) when it was in the pan because all I could taste was the soy sauce. I probably could've added even a little bit more, but it still tasted good as is. I served it over rice.
