Tonight I made another small garden salad and I even made my own Tumeric dressing. My garden salad was made from 2 organic Romaine lettuce leaves (torn up gently). A small sprinkling of julienned carrots, Sesame Tahini salad toppers, a small teaspoon of French Feta crumbles, a tablespoon of cottage cheese (on the side of the salad), about four walnut halves, four big blackberries, and a few slices from a baby zucchini and about four sugar snap pea pods.

For the Tumeric dressing:
Blend up one cup of organic Greek yogurt (plain), 1 tbsp of coconut oil, 1 tsp of Tumeric powder, half a packet of stevia powder, a titch of cayenne pepper, ginger and cracked peppercorns. I read that peppercorns help your body to absorb the tumeric. If stevia is not your thing, you can use an tbsp of honey. Store in a covered glass jar and use within seven days (keep it refrigerated too).

I also had a small slice of the artisan garlic bread, topped off with a tbsp of freshly ground peanut butter.

Before 8 pm, I will have my dessert... 1 Crunchy Brownie Think Thin bar.

I've got another quart of water to drink to meet my daily water quota of 1 gallon.

I grilled out chicken that I sprinkled with Greek seasoning and drizzled with a balsamic glaze, cabbage steaks and cheeseburgers.

Fried chicken
Homemade potato salad
Sliced melon

We had salads and croissants and I grilled steaks. It was yummy but now I feel like I need a nap. I will mow the yard instead.

A new dish
 

Beef and Mac southwestern casserole is in the oven. Trying some new fix-ahead dishes so when we get home it's just bake and serve. We'll see....

OMG ! That sounds SO good ! Now I'm craving Spinach Quiche !!

I had CEREAL !!! :giggle: One of those lazy nights !
It's a cereal by Kashi called "Dark Cocoa Karma" ! ( shredded wheat squares with cocoa inside !!) Really good !! :thumbsup:

I actually like to take a portion of the squares in a ziplock bag and eat them as a late morning snack at work. Filling and I feel like I treated myself while everyone else wanders around with a doughnut.

Katniss~~

That's a great idea ! Today was actually the first time that I tried a "dry" square !!
I'll be snackin' on them too now !! :)

- mashed potatoes
- applesauce

Another small garden salad tonight, plus I cooked up some blackened spicy chicken medallions. I had a couple of those with my salad and the Tumeric dressing, and put the rest of the medallions in the fridge to go with salads, over the next couple of days.

I've already met my water quota today (1gallon).

Dessert is: 1 Think Thin bar, in about half an hour. Crunchy Peanut Butter.

<<<<<<~~ my nighty jama pants are sliding off my hips and so, either I am losing weight or I'm using the wrong soap for my laundry. I may need to expand my weekend shopping list. :blush:

Apricot glazed rosemary pork tenderloin, rice, and fresh green peas.

I am trying very, very hard to prep dinner the evening before. I even have the rice grains measured out in little bags. The goal is minimal clean-up during the work week.

Cheesecake............

I had a bowl of mushroom barley soup and a mini-baguette with butter, followed by a chocolate cupcake. :)

Colonel Sanders with slaw and green beans. I am fortunate that breading on chicken and fish doesn't push blood glucose up much because it's such a satisfying treat when one can't have bread, pasta, white potatoes and such.

Had--as in past tense
 

Today has been cool and rainy so it was a perfect night for Shepherd's Pie. The best part is I doubled the recipe and made two so one is chilling in the freezer for a future "heat and eat" dinner. I have such a hard time forcing myself to meal prep in advance but the rewards are well worth it.


Katniss~~ thinking about challenging myself to a "30 days of no take-out" but may wait for school to be out first.

here at Davenport Hotel for 6 days in Spokane Wash for Wash State Council Of Firefighters Exec Board meeting.....so hotel food this week. Tonite Salmon is what i picked.....

Belgian waffles with fresh Blueberries, and a cup of tea !! ☕:)

HOW can one tell they are not tainted with e.coli ????

Ham and cheese sandwich. It's nice to be back on solid foods again, after three days of waiting for my mouth to heal after having a tooth extracted.

couldn't ever come up with an idea that sounded good so I skipped it ... not hungry much lately ...

SmashBurger!

El pollo loco chicken burrito

A piece of homemade pumpkin spice chip cake...yumbolicious!

I had smoked oysters and two Wäsa crackers, topped with Mascarpone cheese, for breakfast.

I had an cup of home made veggie soup for lunch.

Tonight I'm having a summer garden salad, trimmed with spring greens, French sheep feta crumble cheese, berries, walnuts and topped with Tumeric dressing and Tahini salad cracker bits. One Pork medallion baked in an Hawaiian glaze.

Dessert will be an Crunchy chocolate Brownie bar by Think Thin.

I gotta drink more water tho. I've only met half of my water quota for the day.

I'm making my first EVER home made mac n cheese. I'm nervous and excited. It's in the oven now and I'm like a hoverin' nervous mama.

On the side we'll have broccoli (which probably only I will eat) and Texas toast.

We shall see....

This BIG salad I didn't get to each for lunch. :hamactor:

Salmon, green beans , and rice pilaf

( Now looking forward to my chocolate cupcake for dessert !!:thumbsup:)

- chicken noodle soup
- applesauce
- a chocolate glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut

:cheer: OMG !!! Krispy Kreme chocolate glazed doughnuts are my favorite !!!!

( now you've got me craving one, and there's not a Krispy Kreme for
Miles and miles !!!!). :crybaby:

Have a nice evening ! (f)

Ribs and fries left over from lunch.

Blackberry sage chicken breasts, balsamic parmesan cauliflower and rice.

I would love a Krispy Kreme (original glaze) doughnut for dessert like some of you are having but alas dessert is a few handfuls of "gay popcorn."
