Potato Croquette Attempt 1

In the box: grape tomatoes, broccoli and red peppers with dressing for dipping on the side. Below, we have potato croquettes, boiled egg and more broccoli. Not in the photo, diced apple with yogurt and granola.

Well, there are two things to be learned from yesterday's meal attempt: First, have a plan! Second, have a plan! This whole week (it's only Tuesday, though...) has been a disaster thanks to the lack of planning. Didn't buy the right foods, if any. Didn't know what I would eat at any given night. In comparison, three weeks ago I made the first full meal plan for the week, and I liked it quite a bit. I need to repeat that again... though it takes time I apparently cant spare. :(

Anyway... I bought parsley just to make these croquettes from a recipe I had seen. I didn't even use them! I forgot about it. At least I did use green onions... I had *glanced* at several potato croquette recipes, so I had the gist; potato, eggs, panko, cheese. And flour. Well, let's just say that they were a mess that ate up about 2.5hrs of my time on that single dish! (Well... I did prep some peppers and cut broccoli florets, but still!). The result was not a croquette. It was fried mashed potatoes. With panko. Sooo not pleased. I didn't even write down the recipe, so I am not even sure it came out right. I was sure that flour had to be mixed in with the potatoes, but it didn't occur to me at the time. Yeah... On the flip side, I got to use the leaf picks! So cute. So yeah, happy Tuesday, everybody!
