I used the sweetest from @iowtomatoes 🍅 (nothing else comes close).

Things I made from scratch this week. No real plan Things I made from scratch this week.
No real plan. Just vibes, hunger, and a fridge full of things I didn’t want to waste.
It got a bit out of hand… in the best way.

🥥 Thai-style basa — light, spicy, and gone in about 3 minutes
🥢 Vietnamese summer rolls — satay on the side, no regrets
🍜 Chicken pho — speedy, slurpy, and exactly what I needed mid-week
🦐 Goan tiger prawn curry — rich, fiery, and weirdly therapeutic to make
🍣 Teriyaki salmon with pak choi + quinoa — balanced queen energy
🌶️ Gochujang salmon with pineapple + pepper salsa + black bean salad — sweet, spicy, chaotic
🐟 Trout with courgette + cannellini bean stew — soft, herby, a little smug

Would I make all of it again?
100%.
