🥟 Meal 1 — Asian Lettuce Wraps (Molly's call)

🍄 Meal 2 — Creamy One-Pot Pasta with Chicken and Mushrooms
NYT Recipe
— One pot, ~30 min. Sear chicken, sauté mushrooms, add pasta + broth.

🍣 Meal 3 — Miso-Mayo Salmon Rice Bowls
Adapted from BA Spicy Salmon Bowl — swap sriracha for miso
— Broiler, ~20 min. Mix miso + mayo, spread on salmon, broil 8 min. Over rice + avocado + cucumber.

What We Learned

1. Started too ambitious — suggested Halal Cart Chicken (rejected: too many components)
2. Needed diversity — need 3 different cuisines
3. Real sources matter — don't make up recipes
4. Easy swaps work well — "swap sriracha for miso" on a known recipe was a hit
5. Always leave one slot for Molly — she often has a meal planned
6. Pasta must be hearty — chicken + veg or pureed veg sauce
