Lunch today was Shiitake Rice with Bok Choy and Thai Peanut Sauce from Plantifully Lean p. 124.  It wasn't good.  I could only take about 3 bites before I had to say no.  This one was a hard pass for me.  Too many of these recipes include rice, which Megan loves.  I'm fine with rice, but I'm getting tired of it all the damned time.  I don't think this is salvageable either.  Rating:  1 out of 5.

Dinner tonight was Persian Rice and Chickpea Bowl from Plantifully Lean p. 96.  This was another swing and a miss, but it was better than lunch.  It is really hard when we get two lousy recipes in a row.  I would rate this one a 2 or maybe a 3 out of 5.  It would need some work to make it to the 4 category.  Megan suggested adding magos would add some flavor, and I think she is right.
