It’s been such a long time since I’ve cooked, that I’ve felt a physical ache from missing it. Life has been so hectic lately that not only have I not cooked, but if my husband weren’t feeding me regularly I probably wouldn’t have had time to eat either. Luckily we’ve still been eating low carb, but I always wonder about eating out. I made myself a deal. If only I’d take some time this weekend to cook instead of work, I’d allow myself a little latitude with using packages and premade sauces. Just so long as I used fresh meat and vegetables and got something yummy together. So I decided to start with Panang Curry. I got my ingredients together and decided to use a canned panang paste to make things easier.
