For my veggie, I tried something I hate. I know I hate it but thought I'd try it a different way and maybe not hate it so much. It's moved THISMUCH on the foods I hate scale but still really doesn't make me happy. Brussels sprouts. They were steamed with sea salt and cracked pepper. I still had to douse them in chicken juice and more marinade before I could choke them down and had to cut them into slices so they didn't look like leafy testicles anymore. They are so disgusting but have so many vitamins. Nature's truly cruel.

I had to wash the taste down with some gummy bears and flavored water.

My roommate begs me to make my version of sprouts...slice, add to skillet with a small amount of bacon grease, brown sliced side down until caramelized nice, turn heat down, add at least two tablespoons of local, dark honey then a teaspoon (or more to taste) of Balsamic Vinegar.stir good and serve hot.. The honey really sets it off nice. I've used both frozen or fresh for this...make sure to cook the fresh completely through, so the honey can void the bitter taste.

Breakfast for dinner:
- eggs, scrambled with American cheese
- grits with butter
- ham
- raisin toast
- waffle

(For those lucky enough to be "In The Know", yes, I went to Waffle House and ordered the All-Star Special!)

The bacon grease would eliminate the need to eat them since I would do it for the health benefits, so I think I'll just pass going forward.

If I was nearby and you were making it, I'd be happy to have some of yours though. That sounds like it might just do the trick!

Tonight I had kale salad for dinner.

stargazingboi · 07-27-2016, 07:52 PM

made pizza:

first one asian chili sauce with zucchini, onions, mushrooms and vegan cheese

second: mushrooms, onions, black olives with red sauce and vegan cheese

third: spinach, artichokes, onions, mushrooms with a red sauce and vegan cheese

lastly: a plan cheese pizza

Chad · 07-27-2016, 07:55 PM

The bacon grease would add fat true but the healthy part of them (nutrients etc) would remain in tact. Thus still giving you the health benefits. Just sayin. Yum Brussel sprouts. Lol!

No!!! Blech. No more. If I have to cover something healthy in something unhealthy and artery clogging, it's not worth it to me. There is more for you now.

You are welcome.

Jesse · 07-28-2016, 07:33 AM

Dinner tonight will be baked drumsticks, rutabaga cubed and steamed, then mashed with butter, a little evaporated milk, turmeric, rosemary, & S&P. Also steamed zucchini and yellow squash.

Wellllll....If we want to be technical..... Brussel sprouts are supposed to have cholesterol reducing agents. So maybe that would even itself and not clog the arteries? *laughs* couldnt help myself.

But I know that will not convince you.

I do not want them all.... I don't like them THAT much lol.

Crazy healthy little things though.

Orema · 07-28-2016, 02:11 PM

Grilled chicken skewer and vegetable fried rice.

Blade · 07-28-2016, 02:34 PM

Good question, maybe I will know later

Gemme · 07-28-2016, 03:29 PM

I don't want anything! I'm in a mood and cranky and just don't feel like doing anything special so it will likely be me heating up the leftover kale and chourico soup I had for lunch yesterday. That's always easy and delicious so I should be good. Maybe I'll have some ice cream for dessert. That usually makes me feel better.

Chad · 07-28-2016, 05:53 PM

I am having half a turkey sandwich with ice tea.

GeorgiaMa'am · 07-28-2016, 09:29 PM

From The Varsity:
- a chili dog
- a chili cheeseburger (pimiento cheese)
- onion rings

It's my once-a-year oil change.

I saw the Varsity on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives and have wanted to eat there ever since. Thank you for posting that you got to eat there.

Homemade BBQ wings, salad and fruit. I can't wait! I skipped breakfast and lunch as I did chores.

Brooklyn · 07-29-2016, 01:16 PM

I think I am finally going to order those chicken wings I have been wanting all week-- and will probably just have that. *rubbing my tummy to get it ready*
