That way, we wouldn’t have to rely on Seamless for every meal. I was nervous because it would be at least a month or two before I was back on my feet to cook and even when you order a salad, or something considered healthy, there is still a ton of salt and other stuff added. Thanks, but no thanks.

So the TV dinners — literally, since I wasn’t allowed to leave the couch for a few weeks — had to not only be healthy, but also easy. (Nurse Brian would be doing enough for me; mealtime shan’t be too complicated.) Freezing all-in-one meals would be best: protein and vegetables in one container. Zap in the microwave. Boom, dinner is served.

This one-pot thai chicken curry from Bon Appetit fit the bill perfectly. I made a few giant servings of it so we could have one before surgery and freeze the rest. It was not only delicious fresh but also again defrosted/reheated.

Success!

Bonus if you, like me, only have two mouths to feed: you can pack up the rest and bring it with you to work for lunch. I was the envy of the office when, one morning around 10:30 (I get up early, remember), I peeled the lid off my tupperware, allowing the smell of mustard and shallots waft through the kitchen area. It was fantastic the night before, sizzling straight outta the skillet, but like most things even better cold the next day.

Major kudos to Rishia Zimmern, wife of Travel Channel’s Andrew Zimmern, for sharing her delicious recipe with NYT Cooking.
