What Is Your “Struggle Meal” That You Make Even When You’re Not Struggling Because It’s That Good?
A simple fact of human life is that we need to feed ourselves. Sometimes, under a tight budget and/or empty pantry, that's just hard to do fruitfully. Fortunately, necessity is the mother of innovation and I know I've made some pretty impressive meals with a spark of creativity and collection of random ingredients.
Yet, even when not stretching a dollar, sometimes a "struggle meal" becomes a reliable, staple recipe you've found yourself returning to simply because it's good. So let's hear 'em.
Is it a packaged ramen recipe you've zhuzhed with extra protein and veggies?
A sandwich with interesting fixings that became a meal plan fixture?
A robust soup or stew for all seasons of weather and life?
