Dinner
 

A huge slab of poached salmon and a side of steamed greens. Coffee.

Yup you guessed it. leftover pizza.....:eating:

Ohhhh, I love them too. I just make sure before I bring anything into the house that it's within an acceptable range for my sugar. That's been helpful. I thought for sure I'd see the evidence of last night's snacking on the scale this morning but it was steady. No spike!

Also, I made a typo. They are apple cider vinegar kettle chips and they are very good. Plus the family that owns the company donates to charities that influence their family. It's a taste good, feel better chip!

I do miss pizza.

Tonight, I had an eggplant cutlet, the rest of the chicken balsamic pecan and walnut salad (it was only supposed to have one type of nut but someone got generous), a Honey Crisp apple, a Halo and a ton of chips. I taste tested most of my new snacks. A little bit of this and a little bit of that does add up but I have no regrets. I had the apple cider vinegar chips, coconut and plantain chips, a variety of root veggie chips and straight up plantain chips. None of them have added sugars and, for me, I think that makes all the difference in how I process them. It was all delicious! Plenty of water to drink as well.

Take out from a favorite local restaurant.

I had rattlesnake pasta

He had loaded potato pizza.

Neither are very healthy, but they went well with watching football 🏈

Dinner
 

Texas chili and sweet cornbread. Yum.

:eating:

Although I have (and use) a bread machine, there's nothing quite like getting in there and making a loaf the handmade way. Difficult to get just right, without making a sponge or a brick.

Homemade chicken-noodle soup in the crockpot, from a recipe on the broth box. It had to crock all day; so far, so good.

Cherry tomatoes, which I got into and ate too soon.

Cheesecake bars (from a coworker's recipe)

One aim of 2021 is to try new things, whether or not they work out. That also includes picking up my Russian again :).

- big lima beans in ham bone broth
- ham
- flan

Dinner
 

Baked breaded pork chop (bone in), beet salad. Ice tea.

~~
Tonight it'll be a roasted chicken and mashed potatoes!

We'll let Costco do the heavy lifting......:giggle:

- ham
- lima beans
- potato salad
- a chocolate eclair

Chillin’ and grillin’
 

The weather is nice so tonight I’ll have a grilled lettuce salad with grilled wings. Nuts or cake for dessert. White wine on the side.

P I Z Z A !!!

. . . although it was not the pizza I ordered. I received a pepperoni pizza with a plain crust. I called the pizza place and spent 45 minutes trying to get through. I'm pretty sure they took their phone off the hook, because it was going straight to a recording. I'm sure they messed up other people's pizzas, too, because the ticket on the box had my correct order on it and my name; it's just that the pizza inside didn't match the ticket.

I finally got a refund by calling the main customer service number. (They refunded the delivery fee too!) And I ate three slices - any pizza is good pizza.

I have to say the chicken soup (more like a stew) came out delish, and I had some left over for lunch today.

As for tonight, building on that success, I made:

A kind of spaghetti skillet dish (ground beef, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and uncooked noodles mixed in)-a recipe off of a box, and it was highly delish.
Green salad
One of those cheesecake bars

(Oh, and I am on day 3 of my Russian course. I can now say "The boy is eating my apple", which is highly useful to know in the Moscow Metro. It doesn't matter: the course is fun and the important part is having daily goals. Depression feeds on goal-less days).

Dinner
 

NY strip and beet salad.

Steamed veggies w/ a plant based burger.

Or... maybe just coffee and the banana bread I made this afternoon.

- broccoli cheddar soup
- Club crackers
- applesauce

All your talk of plantain chips made me curious so today I bought these to try. Super yummy! It's just part of my dinner but not sure yet what else I'm having...

Sammie: Gluten free bread, smoked turkey, swiss, hummus, greens. Wine.

Costco food court hot dog with ketchup and some of their light lemonade. This lemonade is so good it's hard to believe there are only 15 calories in 20 ounces, no carbs and zero sugars. I know zero sugar can still have some sugar but still it's a very, very light amount. Anyhow this beats any diet lemonade I've ever had and I can't wait to go back and have more, more, more!

Oh and for those who might be interested I just found out fitbit has nutritional information for Costco food court stuff -

- ham sandwich
- potato chips
- a lot of backtalk

Had a "discussion" during dinner with the boy. I finally told him he didn't have to listen to me, to go ahead and do whatever he wanted. Then we had another kind of "discussion".

IS backtalk considered a fruit or vegetable, I forget..:blink:

It depends on who's dishing it out sometimes it's dessert.

Dinner
 

Baked pork chop and steamed green beans. Ice tea.

Dinner
 

I will be watching the Packers and making Beef Stew. My mom makes the best gravy. It is New Orleans style. Yum.

Decisions, decisions... J raided the freezer again and took home salmon, hamburger, chicken. Then brought back, chicken fajitas, spaghetti sauce with meat, and salmon with some sort of glaze on it. I've had a baby spoon size bite of each and all three are delicious. Now all I have to do is warm up some tortillas or boil some spaghetti or nuke a freezer pack of asparagus just depending. I'll probably go with fajitas since that's what I have the most of. Tonight I was hungry well before dinner, so I've had dessert to tide me over it was Great Value Berry Medley- blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, with some milk and a little Splenda mixed in. Well generic version of Splenda actually but I couldn't tell the difference just as good and still, like with the brand name, only a little goes a long way. I was surprised because usually frozen berries are so sour but these were actually fairly sweet even without it. Anyhow, my son got me hooked on these Extreme Wellness tortilla wraps each one, and they're huge, only has 4 net carbs. So along with some sour cream and some avocado I'll be feasting tonight.
