Rule #2
Create a menu in advance. Have one dish you actually make, and 2 or 3 that are no make, no bake, and no fuss.
For example:
- Make a homemade Roasted Garlic Aoli from Scratch - super easy!
- 1 Fresh Egg Yolk
- 3/4 Cup of Olive Oil
- Squeeze of Lemon Juice (no seeds please)
- 1/8 of a cup of Roasted Garlic (from the jar is fine)
- Whisk the egg yolk in a mixer with a whisk attachment, then slowly add the Olive Oil...slowly.... very slowly.... then squeeze in the lemon and fold in the garlic... done!
- Serve the Roasted Garlic Aoli with some potato wedges that you find in the frozen section of your grocery store - I like these.
- A Cheese Platter with 3 kinds of cheese
- Buy a block of Parmesan cheese and Stab it with a knife
- A block of Blue Cheese and Drizzle it with Honey
- A soft cheese (Brie or Goat Cheese)
- A a bowl of mixed olives
