Remember a few days ago when I published 7 Food and Activity Pairings for Tax Season?
Well, I realized that there is one tax activity and food pairing that completely slipped my mind. So with that I would like to submit tax quandary number eight to the record.
Quandary #8: I know that I cannot file as married or conversely single for the 2023 tax year because I do not legally fit the definitions of filing status set by the IRS, but I hope to change my filing status in the future. What recipes can I use if I hope to change my filing status in coming years? Thank you reader for your question. I hope that you can accept the tone that this post has been written in. It is purely for fun, no offense is intended. If you are looking to change your filing status to married, I would suggest this recipe from the New York Times Cooking achieve for Marry Me Chicken. You might also try making Ina Garten’s Engagement Roast Chicken. Perhaps both of these recipes will give you the results that you intend. I also like this Rachel Ray recipe from her Guy Food cookbook for You Won’t Be Single for Long Cream Pasta.
Conversely, if you are looking to change your filing status from Married to Single, there are some sources of recipes that might help you to achieve your goals. I am not usually in the business of yucking other people yums but most of the recipes that have made this lists are not great or at least out of style with modern eaters. Might I recommend: 20 Unholy Recipes: Dishes So Awful We Had to Make Them from Riverfronttimes.com. Eat This Not That has their own list of 10 Worst Old-Fashioned Dishes That Should Not Make a Comeback.
Additionally, I neglected to mention a few other option in my last post:
For Quandary #5: I need foods to eat while driving to my tax preparer’s office. You could purchase a Campbell’s Creamy Tomato Microwavable Sipping Soup at Target for $2.29/ can.
For Quandary #6: What foods go well with filing a tax extension? Outside of contacting your local extension office for recipes, which I suggested in my last post, I think that you might also think about making foods that can be extended. For example, a Mennonite recipe that I have come across for Pie By the Yard would be a good option. You might also enjoy Pizza By the Yard, which is a meal that can be stretched.
Thank you for reading today. What recipes do you have that pair well with activities related to the Tax Season? Let me know in the comments below.
[Note: I am not a tax professional and am not authorized to give tax advice. I can however make tax season suggestions of interesting food pairings that would go well with tax related activities. In my knowledge, there is not any law that would prevent me from doing that.]
