Post-Thanksgiving Food Hangover

November 24, 2023 By Karl Leave a Comment

Could the day after Thanksgiving be the day folks are least likely to cook? Seems like it. With a food hangover from the day before compounded by the absolutely ridiculous shopping frenzy in which far too many people participate, time for cooking doesn’t stand a chance.

If you do feel like cooking something really easy, try these recipes:

Hong Kong-style Crispy Rice

This is really easy to make, and it tastes great without being too heavy. Bonus: most Asian markets are open throughout the holiday if you don’t have the sausages in the house.

Ultra-Good Mac & Cheese

This is too good to pass up. And it’s really easy to make, with only a few key ingredients.

Nasi Lemak (the best rice you’ll ever make)

This rice goes with so many other dishes, or it could just be eaten as a light meal. No matter what, you can’t go wrong with this.
