I FOUND EGGNOG! I got regular AND soy, for varieties sake. :D :D SO HAPPY, omg.
OK. So. This tea as an eggnog latte (about 2/3 cup eggnog, the rest tea). SO GOOD. Creamy. Delicious. Nutmeggy, custardy, loads of vanilla. Yum.
Yum.
In other news, anyone have suggestions for gluten and bean free (ha!) freezer friendly meals I can make ahead, portion out, and freeze for all my meals? I have almond chicken (I don’t really like peanut butter!), veg stew, ground turkey/sweet potato/squash hash, rice, and some cooked pasta in the freezer right now. I’m trying to have enough options I don’t get bored, and I’m freezing everything so I don’t waste stuff if I end up going out or buying something else for dinner! :)

OMG, that turkey, sweet potato, and squash hash sounds amazeballs… :D
Super simple too! I just grated the veg and mixed in salt, pepper and olive oil and baked them, stirring regularly till done. The turkey gets “sausage” spice added (http://meatified.com/slow-cooker-breakfast-meatloaf/ I mix the spice and keep some in the cupboard), then stir the turkey into the veg. If you feel like chopping, little squares of veg might look nicer/be less mushy. But I don’t care. It’s good.
“the veg” = onion, sweet potato, and butternut squash. A little crushed garlic.
Any sort of Thai curries are great for this. Super easy if you use curry paste from the store. Shepherd’s pie is also nice. Spaghetti squash baked with tomato-based sauce and lots of cheese. Zongzi are so awesome to have in the freezer, though tricky to make (they’re kind of like perogies in that you make a big batch in one sitting and then eat them for many meals.) Salted duck egg steamed pork with rice is a childhood favourite of mine, though I’m not sure if there are any recipes that don’t include soy sauce (if you’re allergic to beans).
Ooo. Shepherds pie! I always forget about that. I will have to look up zongzi. I am not allergic to beans, but if I have too much it triggers other stuff which is unpleasant. Some tofu or soy milk is ok. Some chick peas. Maybe black beans if they’re well soaked and cooked. Sigh. I love beans.
Ohh, I get mushroom zongzi sometimes at the Asian market. I’ll have to find some recipes. I really don’t care for the salted egg yolk part, but I love the texture of the rice.
