2% Cottage cheese with a few pineapple tidbits. I had a big lunch and don't want to wreck my numbers so keeping it light. Nothing else tonight because I have labs tomorrow/need to fast

- a bacon cheddar burger
- a few french fries
- a ripe pear with some crumbles of bleu cheese and a few sunflower seeds with a little lime juice

What is hamburger cake??? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yup, that is definitely a hamburger cake. It looks very cute and I see why at half off it was necessary.

Drinks w friends. Then KFC

tacos and probably drinks. idk

But I am enjoying getting out a little more.

- a chicken quesadilla
- applesauce

I had angel hair pasta with herb sauce.

Dinner
 

After five days at the beach eating too much seafood. My friend and I walked into a bar for nibbles and found out that the Thursday night special was Prime Rib for only $15.99. It was amazing. I am beyond stuffed.

:cowboy:

- veggie fried rice
- stir fried zucchini, onions and carrots
- a salted caramel and chocolate chunk cookie

I had leftover Indian from lunch.

I was so tired after packing up in 100* heat today, that I picked up Burger King Whoppers.

I was so sick from the heat that I could not eat the whopper!

Next stop...the cool Arizona mountains:pirate-steer:

Well it was a late lunch, early dinner thing. My son got the cod basket, I got the chicken strip, and then we traded so we each had a little of both. Water to drink because on the way to my place he swung by the espresso stand and picked me up a latte.

Chicken and dumplings seasoned with dried Italian herbs. A frozen martini popsicle stick for dessert.

I like the way you think. It is HOT here. How do you get it to freeze with just the gin and vermouth? Do you add something to it?

For dinner, I had pizza with onions, feta and mozzarella.

These are pre-made vodka martini sticks, perfect on a hot day, and tasty. Just throw them in the freezer. Here’s a video about them. They’re sold at costco, BevMo, online, and some local stores.

Cajun Calamari, Shrimp Diableaux, Cajun Bloody Mary 2 of of them to be exact and a sweet tea.

A checkered towel over my arm
 

Garlic bread stuffed with Spicy Spaghetti

- roast beef
- zipper peas

Boneless pork, salad, sauteed mushrooms, tea, pinch of Truvia in the tea for desert.

Pork chops covered in a spinach/walnut sauce, with a baked sweet potato covered in butter, cinnamon and brown sugar. Sweet tea to drink.

Tonight I had black bean soup with cilantro; tomatoes with artichoke hearts, hearts of palm, pepper, garlic, balsamic vinegar, basil, and avocado; and blueberries with cinnamon. It was all quite good!

tomato soup, saltines, soy milk to drink

- fried chicken
- mashed potatoes with gravy
- biscuit
- Mountain Dew to drink

Yes, it was a KFC night . . .

I made oxtail ragout in the instapot

Oxtail
BIG hunks of sweet potato
BIG hunks of onion
Yellow bell peppers halved and seeded
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 cup water
Garlic cloves
Salt and pepper

Cook for 1 hr on high, and allow for natural steam release

So tender, so flavorful; it was the best oxtail I have ever had!

How big was the ox?

The pieces were approximately the size of a 6oz sirloin steak! I’m thinking they came from Paul Bunyan’s ox.......:blink:

I had some kind of a spicy Thai wrap that I got from the grocery store deli, and a slice of delicious banana walnut bread.

Not hungry much. If anything, I imagine it will be a bowl of raisin bran with milk.

black bean soup with cilantro (I'm on a kick)

tofu "egg" salad with pickles

Rawmantic brand vegan vanilla bar (to die for)

I love how easy this meal is and always good. Sometimes I get too caught up in making vegetable dishes that take too long and are harder to digest. This meal is my fun work day meal.

Beef/veggie stir fry with white rice. Ice tea to drink.
