What are you having for dinner tonight?

[firegal]

Taco Salad!

[homoe]

Ribs on the grill but no sauce and coleslaw




~~
:eating: And what time did you say you'd be dishing that up Miss Orema?

[C0LLETTE]

Not sure what President Obama is eating on this 4th of July but I'll bet he's eating it with people who actually like him.

[Stone-Butch]

Just a huge greens salad. Too hot to even think about other food.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

leftover sweet potato souffle

[Stone-Butch]

Threw a steak in the pan and steamed some asparagus. Ice tea.

[firegal]

Meatloaf,small green salad with kidney beans and cottage.

[C0LLETTE]

Maybe I'll chip the ice out of my freezer and see it there's any meat in there to BBQ. I really can't do KFC anymore.

[Stone-Butch]

Chinese delivery.....ice tea

[Stone-Butch]

The above means that I will choose at the time what I wish to consume at that given time. Now it will be Cantonese Lo Mein, deep fried chicken wings, shrimp with boc choy, one egg roll. That should cover today and tomorrow. I do hope that is sufficiently expressed.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Five Guys
- cheeseburger with tomato and grilled onions
- fries
- lemonade

[kittygrrl]

for dinner i had..
bruschetta
spicy cauliflower bites
guacamole w pita chips

[C0LLETTE]

Tonight is one of those "it's too hot to eat" nights. How many nutrients does a cold beer have?

[Wrang1er]

Tonight is one of those "it's too hot to eat" nights. How many nutrients does a cold beer have?

I'm not a beer drinker but I've heard there's a pork chop in every can.

[C0LLETTE]

LOL....Ah, pork chops....still on the way to a fatty liver but a bit slower . Who knows...if I ate what was recommended I'd regret my drunken sex life...and what fun would that be?

[firegal]

Thai Chicken curry red..... 2 star

[easygoingfemme]

Daddy brought dinner by surprise. A wedge salad that I love with shrimp and balsamic reduction and all kinds of goodies.

[easygoingfemme]

for dinner i had..
bruschetta
spicy cauliflower bites
guacamole w pita chips

Spicy Cauliflower bites? Do tell please?

[kittygrrl]

Spicy Cauliflower bites? Do tell please?

easygoing..i don't actually know..they were on a table of appetizers..very spicy but incredibly good

[C0LLETTE]

Tonight I'll have a can of Mott" s Extra Spicy Clamato Caesar. Seems there's tomato paste, anchovies, onions , garlic, dried clam broth in there. Oh, and 5.5% vodka.

Really, what more could you want for a satisfying evening meal?

[Orema]

Tonight will be wings. Think I'll put them in the Instant Pot for 10 minutes then put them on the grill for awhile.

Last night was an Orema burger. Well-done burger patty on a low carb tortilla with slaw, dill pickles, green onions, mayo and mustard. It was perfect.

[easygoingfemme]

I'm going to make lobster tails, steamer clams, homemade coleslaw, and corn on the cob.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Tonight is lasagna night.

[Gemme]

Last night was a chicken salad sandwich with dill pickle chips shoved inside for some tang, fresh Northwest cherries (but not Rainiers, dammit), water to drink with dinner and then sugar free pink lemonade with animal crackers for dessert for there must always be dessert.

[Kenna]

I had leftover takeout and
PEACHES...delightful, ripe sweet PEACHES... yummy!!
Then I froze some for breakfast tomorrow.

[clementinefemme]

Homemade blueberry mint mojito with a black bean burger :)

[C0LLETTE]

So, for a change of pace...try this tonight:

Here’s a stomach-churning feat: A woman from Arizona devoured not one, but two 72-ounce steak dinners in about an hour at the Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo.

The lovely lady from Tucson, AZ completed not only one, but TWO 72oz steak meals back to back. First in 26:40 and second 34:30 .

The woman, identified as professional competitive eater Miki Sudo, . She’s won the women’s title for six straight years at the famous Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.

In addition to the 72-ounce steak, the Big Texan challenge includes a salad, a shrimp cocktail, a baked potato and a roll. You get the meal for free if you consume it all in an hour.

Finding anyone who can consume two of those meals — that’s nine pounds of meat — in one sitting is rare. It’s rarer to find a woman who’s done it.

However, it’s not a record. In 2015, 120-pound Molly Schuyler of Nebraska ate THREE Big Texan 72-ounce steak meals in a mere 20 minutes. She gobbled the first in under five minutes, destroying the record of 8 minutes, 52 seconds set by fellow competitive eater Joey “Jaws” Chestnut in 2008.

bon apetit

[nycfem]

I had some frozen veggie eggrolls from the health food store with sweet chili sauce. They were amazing- note to self: check brand because... fabulous!

Dessert: Greek yogurt with strawberries, banana, kamut puffs, cinnamon, and walnuts.

2nd Dessert: Half of an XOXO dark chocolate bar with sea salt and caramel. Highly recommended. Like... OMG!

[C0LLETTE]

ok, ok...but can you eat all that in under 30 seconds?

[Blade]

Ribs hickory smoke baked beans and thickened stewed taters smothered in cheese and a dollop of sour cream

[kittygrrl]

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- Smothered pork chops
- rice and gravy
- collard greens
- blackeyed peas
- cornbread
- peach cobbler!!!

[Kätzchen]

A small plate of summer vegetables (radishes, sliced tomato, celery sticks with peanut butter, slices of sweet red peppers and romaine lettuce) and then a bowl of black raspberry ice cream (non-dairy, made with coconut milk). Water to drink.

[Orema]

Tonight will be short ribs and mashed turnips.

[easygoingfemme]

It's my daughter's birthday today. She requested a big salad with salmon on top and Jalapeno poppers and white claws. So that's happening.

[nycfem]

I dry-wokked 4 veggie hotdogs. I did that without cutting them up. I hadn't thought to cut them up but next time I will.

I ate them with sauerkraut and mustard.

Dessert: two pieces of salt water taffy (banana and peppermint).

[Kätzchen]

I should log off and make something to eat for supper, because I haven't had much to eat today and I need to eat.

I have some meatless 'meat balls' in the freezer, so I can brown some of those up and add some high-protein pasta and chop up some fresh zucchini and add a cup or two of roasted tomato sauce to create a nice simple Italian-type meal. And sprinkle some Hemp Hearts on top, I think, with a dollop of non-dairy 'sour cream'.

Half hour of cooking, until I can fade into post-supper coma-ville land. :jester:

[Kätzchen]

I stopped by a produce stand out in the country and bought some awesome stuff: a huge head of organic butter leaf lettuce, and several pints of berries (marion, blackcaps, rasp, and blue berries) and some gorgeous flowers (Dahlias and sunflowers and Queen Anne's Lace and Snapdragons).


So I plan to have a nice summer garden salad, complete with freshly sliced roma tomatoes and for dessert? I bought a home made Pumpkin Brownie Cake with frosting and chopped walnuts.

Maybe a small cup of freshly made pour-over coffee, to accompany the cake, too.

And, water (keep hydrating).

[firegal]

My sis went to her fave take out and brought me back Eggs benedict. So it is far too large for just a meal.... so breakfast,lunch and dinner it is.

[nycfem]

Amy's gluten free bean burrito, hot salsa (my favorite: La Victoria extra hot jalapeno), multi-colored cauliflower.

Dessert: dark chocolate.

[Orema]

The last of the short ribs and turnips. So good.

[kittygrrl]

a lunch/dinner kinda thing-
A chilled shrimp and soba noodle salad
https://www.savoringthethyme.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Chilled-Shrimp-Soba-Noodle-Salad-Recipe-21.jpg &
finally a slice of vegan chocolate cake

listening to
8j741TUIET0

[Kätzchen]

I bought some wild salmon today and am using the salmon with sweet pickle relish, minced sweet Walla Walla onions, chia seeds and homemade vegan egg-less Mayo to make a 'salad' of sorts. I bought cranberry-pumpkin seeded organic crisps (zero sugar impacts, thank heavens) to accompany the Salmon 'salad'.

Fresh local berries for dessert.

Maybe a tiny slice of the Pumpkin Brownie Cake, later tonight, right before bedtime.

Water to drink.

[firegal]

Cod cooked in air fryer with small green salad and cottage cheese.

[Gemme]

Tonight will be the last of some sirloin I have plus mashed potatoes and sweet peas. Sweet tea to drink, I think.

[nycfem]

We ordered in :sushi: for our 15 year anniversary.

Vegetarian brown rice rolls for me: avocado, oshinko, kampyo.

Also had appetizers of steamed vegetable gyoza, seaweed salad, and yakko tofu.

Dessert: xoxo dark chocolate bar w/sea salt & caramel.

[firegal]

Due to warm weather.... salad,it is with garbanzo and kidney beans sun flower seeds and cottage cheese.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Pizza! . . . .

[Bèsame*]

Shrimp cocktail
Creamy coleslaw
And....later cottage cheese and strawberries.

[kittygrrl]

broiled lemon chicken
spinach salad w vinaigrette

[Kätzchen]

Gosh, just got home after a long day at work and it is still exceptionally warm (99+ degrees).

So it is going to be a light supper of a small garden salad, a small bowl of fresh berries, and a tiny slice of Pumpkin Brownie cake.

Water to drink.

I did however pick up some caulifower, last time i shopped for fresh produce. When it cools down, i plan to make a creamy cauliflower soup to use in a classic "Mac & Cheese" baked pasta dish. Can't wait to have that for supper, one night soon.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Pizza! Yes, that makes two nights in a row. They had different toppings, though.

[Orema]

Last night was lemon pepper wings delivered from WingStop.

Am thawing a chicken breast in the fridge for tonight. Think I'll grill it and add it to a salad.

If it's not thawed by dinner time I'll just have a salad with some tuna.

[easygoingfemme]

I'm not sure but I know it will involve the zucchini and yellow squash we picked from the garden last night!

[FireSignFemme]

Left over instant mashed potatoes with butter, gluten-free brown gravy made from a package mix so not at all home style, with some hamburger crumbles mixed in. Whole, petite, cooked from frozen green beans. Water to drink, haven't been hydrating enough, and dessert. What I don't know yet. It's a toss up between lemon meringue pie, brownies or cheesecake. However any of those will require some extra effort so I might just wind up having some canned fruit and calling it a day.

[C0LLETTE]

Ramen noodles: eat 'em hot, eat 'em cold, eat 'em raw in the middle of the night...those little packages are a godsend .

[nycfem]

A frozen Amy's tamales and beans meal. Wow, what a winner. I mixed it with multicolored steamed cauliflower.

Dessert: half of xoxo dark chocolate caramel sea salt bar.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- carrot, raisin and pineapple salad
- a handful of Bugles

[Bèsame*]

well, tonight, I'm planning

Mahi mahi with some mango salsa I'm going to make.
Spinach salad on the side..or maybe under the fish..mmmm

Since I've kinda got a mango addiction right now..possible mango mousse will be created as well.

Just found this easy recipe: puree the mango. Whip heavy cream. Add puree to whipped cream. ( no sugar, the mangos are sweet enough)

https://i2.wp.com/foodtrails25.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/temp-1252.jpg?resize=730%2C626&ssl=1

[kittygrrl]

for dinner the ultimate avocado toast

healthnut bread w
vegan cheese (toasted)
sliced tomato
sauteed onion & spinach
(crisp)tempeh bacon
avocado smashed
dijon mustard
sprinkle of sunflower seeds

[Blade]

Some kind of beef something been smelling it all day and it smells delish

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Just found this easy recipe: puree the mango. Whip heavy cream. Add puree to whipped cream. ( no sugar, the mangos are sweet enough)

That's so easy it barely counts as a recipe. :) Sounds delish . . . it's hard to beat fresh fruit and cream.

* * *

I am having:
- honey BBQ wings
- French fries
- an Arnold Palmer

[nycfem]

Frozen / microwaved Spanokopita appetizers. There's something about having mini appetizers for dinner that is quite delightful!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

House fried rice. I'm not really supposed to be having shrimp, but it was _so_ _good_ - they were cooked perfectly.

[Stone-Butch]

Bone in pork chop and steamed brussel sprouts. Ice tea.

[Gráinne]

The Friday Free-for-All: leftover taco meat and fixings, some leftover spaghetti, bibs and babs of this and that, and ice cream for dessert!

[Kätzchen]

Acapulco Lime Plaintain chips (organic, non-gmo) with Albacore Tuna salad made with sweet pickle relish.

Delicious and satisfying.

Water to drink. Lots of water.

[nycfem]

I've been trying out Amy's new wraps lately. Here's my negative reviews of a few:

Spanakopita wrap - total fail
Vietnamese wrap - fail

Tonight I had one that I've become very into. The flavors are amazing. It was:

Moroccan Tagine wrap - total winner

It's made with sweet potatoes, chick pea, apricot, etc. I wonder when I'll get tired of it.

For dessert I had 3 Carr's Entertainment Crackers. I had the wheat flavor. I've been into this variety box of Carr's crackers since the pandemic started. When we were in Fire Island I served them for dessert and my family was nonplussed. I think it was because I had said I was providing chocolate chip cookies for dessert but then had forgotten to pack them :blink:

[Jedi]

Portabello mushroom stroganoff......home made and made by me. Delicious if I don't say so myself.

[Kätzchen]

Fig & Kalamata Olive crisps, to be used with Fig & Chili jam, and Garlic-Jalepeno smoked "cheese" spread, and a bit of Pine Nut Hummus. And a few dark green Romaine leaves (dry, sans dressing). A small assortment of fresh berries. And, maybe later, a small cup of Dark Raspberry sorbet. Lots of water handy to srink. Today, instead of sliced cucumbers and lime in the water, I am cutting up watermelon and freezing cubes of the watermelon to sit in the water, to make a light tasty refreshing drink.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- cheddar cheese
- cherries
- a honeycrisp apple
- Club crackers

[Stone-Butch]

Fried rainbow trout and steamed spinach. Ice tea.

[Bèsame*]

Sautèed sweet onions with chicken. Smothered with green enchilada sauce over rice. Extra goodies on top like cheese, sour cream and avocado.

Last of the mango mousse.

[Gráinne]

I think I'm going to be a regular on this thread. I am the world's worst at taking care of myself in regular times, and under stress what little I do goes out the window. I can comb back through this thread and get dinner ideas (and very simple ones), and reporting my dinner is a small way to be accountable.

Tonight: a frozen Stouffer's spaghetti at work
Ice cream while cruising BFP

Lunch happened to be a fistful of Cheez-its and a bagel. Where are my vegetables?

[nycfem]

Spanakopita frozen / microwaved appetizers. Divine.

Dessert: Greek yogurt with strawberries, blueberries, cinnamon, kamut puff. Always a winner.

[Mopsie]

- cheddar cheese
- cherries
- a honeycrisp apple
- Club crackers

I love honeycrisp apples! My favorite!

[Wrang1er]

I'm going to attempt Sunday dinner. I'm making roasted garlic lemon chicken, fried chicken, rice, green beans, cucumber salad, sliced tomatoes and cottage cheese.

This will be our first Sunday dinner without mom. Hopefully, I do her justice.

Happy Sunday, everyone.

[Kätzchen]

Cantaloupe, small green salad, and Halibut with fresh lemon and rosemary (baked).

For dessert: the last little square of Pumpkin Brownie Cake and a small scoop of the Dark Raspberry Sorbet.

Bottled sparkling spring water, to drink

[kittygrrl]

going over to PhD's for dinner..making a modified Vegan Cobb Salad with Arugula, frislee, romaine, purple kale, radicchio, cucumber, pickled onions, heirloom tomatoes, chickpeas, follow your heart pepperjack, with pickled beet slices on the side w a vinaigrette dressing

[Orema]

Wings cooked on the grill, a green salad of mizuna, spinach, chard, kale with a lemon olive dressing.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- BBQ baked chicken
- green beans
- mac and cheese
- cherries

[nycfem]

Sort of an appetizer plate that I got into having during the pandemic: Gouda cheese, sliced Gala apple, dry roasted almonds, sundried tomatoes, olives. It makes for some fun mixing and matching :).

[Blade]

There is a family owned buffet up the road about an hour. I had 4 chicken wings, yams, mac&cheese slaw and 2 pieces of side meat. It was delicious! Side meat was a little green for me. Probably needed to hang another week.

[firegal]

I just had a tuna salad... simple but cool in this heat.

[Mopsie]

I've been having salad nearly every night lately - it's too hot to cook! My salads are usually just spring mix and green peppers with some sunflower seeds. I like things simple. Bleu cheese dressing to top it off.

[Gráinne]

BBQ chicken sandwich (made in a slow cooker), cole slaw, Rice-A-Roni with cheesecake for dessert :)

[Kätzchen]

Cubed cantaloupe, with plenty of sea salt and freshly cracked peppercorns.

Small bed of organic salad greens with freshly chopped pineapple.

A few fig & kalamata olive crisps, with a touch of freshly ground almond butter.

And lots of water. Hydration is key to optimal health, so i need to catch up on drinking more water.

For dessert? I stopped by a bakery and picked up some freshly baked macaroon cookies. I love coconut cookies. And maybe a small scoop of Dark Raspberry Sorbet, to go with a couple of cookies.

[nycfem]

Veggie egg rolls (frozen / microwaved) with sweet chili sauce. I had a bit of white chocolate for dessert because I fear the dark chocolate is keeping me up at night, but... white chocolate is not the same, lol.

[Stone-Butch]

Poached salmon and a side of steamed asparagus. Ice tea with lemon.

[Gemme]

I had a Wahlburger with baked fries, fake Mtn. Dew and Outshine bars for dessert. I wanted to get cherry but they only had watermelon to go with my lime bars so I took a bite of the watermelon and then a bite of the lime and went back and forth. It wasn't a cherry limeade by any measure but it wasn't bad at all. I definitely didn't hate it, since I ate 4 bars total. Water chaser.

[FireSignFemme]

Scrambled eggs, sausage links and some pancakes. Milk, water and tea to drink.

[Orema]

Hamburger on a low-carb tortilla with mayo, mustard, power greens, pickles, cheese.

So good.

[Stone-Butch]

BBQ striploin with potato and onion wrapped in tinfoil.

[Bèsame*]

I found a great Italian street restaurant. Piada. Call ahead and just pick up. Super easy peasy!

Last night was a Fresh Market Salad. Spring greens, sliced strawberries, tomatoes, grilled corn, sliced avocado, spiced pecans with Lemon basil dressing. Oh soo good!

Going to gather the ingredients to recreate this at home.

Homemade wine. Finally got my hands on some yeast! This batch came out really good. Practice improves..lol..just like fine wine🍷

[kittygrrl]

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1f/a9/ac/1fa9aca0cfb7d0c702922a099bdb6f85.jpg

Currently...making an Angel Hair Checca and a small Blackberry Cobbler for a intimate dinner party @ my best friends...it's just her, her boyfriend, & my date...it will be fun..we'll probably dine on her patio...it should be beautiful tonight

[Kätzchen]

I read where Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson became Greek citizens, so i ordered some Greek take-out tonight.

Falafel balls with tadziki sauce, garden salad with strips of roasted Lamb and feta crumbles.

Water to drink.

Watermelon for dessert.

[nycfem]

I had an Amy's samosa wrap. Meh. The Moroccan Tagine wrap is hands down the winner. It has the most flavor, a good mix of spice and sweetness.

I had dark chocolate for dessert. It was so much better than the white chocolate.

[Orema]

I had some chicken (frozen and pre-cooked) and it was horrible.

https://i.postimg.cc/zfQ7tRf0/99672-468856-INN-TOCW-SWTCHPTLBBQ-T.png

Probably because I didn’t use their sauce. Normally, I throw away food I dont like, but I’m not tossing out food during a pandemic.

I baked it last night. Next time I’ll try frying it. And if that doesn’t work I’ll try putting it on the grill. By that time I will have gone through the whole bag.

:bow:

Yesterday was national wing day. I heard it more than once..lol
So now that I have wings on the brain, to open your post and see how horrible yours were! Ok, I'm over it. Lol.

On my list of do not buy. Thank you.

It was also national Lasagna day..I'll hold out for homemade veggie lasagna. I know that will be soon!

[Wrang1er]

Fried potatoes and onions plus I am broiling steaks.

[Bèsame*]

My version of sausage ettouffe. Lots of sweet onions, broccoli, spinach and green onions. I think over jasmine rice??

Sliced strawberries and yogurt later.

Chai iced tea over lots of ice.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I had an Amy's samosa wrap. Meh. The Moroccan Tagine wrap is hands down the winner. It has the most flavor, a good mix of spice and sweetness.


Did you know that Amy's dishes are purposely designed to be kind of flavorless? It's one of their selling points. The person who came up with the idea for the company wanted international foods but without much spice. Go figure.

* * *

I had:
- a Popeye's classic chicken sandwich
- a honeycrisp apple

[nycfem]

I made one of my favorite dishes which consists of mixing together:

Brussels sprouts, beets, lentils, feta cheese, EVOO, garlic, toasted pine nuts, avocado, and artichoke hearts.

For dessert I had Ritter Sport white chocolate with hazelnuts. Now, I know I dissed white chocolate yesterday but this was really good.

[kittygrrl]

broiled halibut &
a small spinach salad

[nycfem]

Amy's cheese enchiladas. It was a frozen dinner that also had with it corn and black beans. I really like her cheese enchiladas. I mixed in steamed cauliflower and my favorite hot salsa: La Victoria Extra Hot Salsa Jalapena.

More of the white chocolate with whole hazel nut bar for dessert.

[Stone-Butch]

Speckled trout, steamed green beans. Ice tea.

[Orema]

Last night was a delicious greek salad by way of door dash. Had char-broiled chicken, bell peppers, zucchini, artichoke hearts, and chockfull of tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, feta, roasted garlic and a bit of lettuce. Will have leftovers for dinner by tossing the lettuce and adding my own.

I didn't use their salad dressing. Had them put it on the side and added lemon and olive oil.

I needed a break from those wings and that did the trick.

[Kelt]

Tonight I’m going to grill some honey mustard chicken, in marinade now, on my new charcoal Weber, as well as some corn on the cob. Watermelon for desert.

:eating:

[Stone-Butch]

Have you thought about thawing them and then shredding the meat off the bone to add into something else like a salad or a creamy type dish that will hide any residual ick taste? I had to do that once with a bag of chicken patties that just didn't taste great at all and it was a lot more tolerable that way.

:eating:

Did you grill the watermelon? It's super delicious that way.

Last night, I had a giant Caesar salad with chunks of lemon pepper chicken that I had to get rid of before it went bad. I just took the skin off and flaked it in the salad and it was really good. I had 2 peach Outshine bars for dessert and fake Mtn. Dew to drink. I've been a soda kick lately. Hope I squash it soon.

Tonight, it's pizza, fake Mtn. Dew and Outshine bars. I already had a pineapple one earlier (my favorite) so dessert may be peach or tangerine. Tangerine ties for second with coconut so it'll likely be that.

[nycfem]

For dinner tonight I did some experimenting. It didn't turn out all that well, but it's good to experiment :goodluck:

I had Mary's Gone Crackers crackers (superseed classic) with spreadable cheese, cucumber, and paprika. "Mary's Gone Crackers" always look so good but I've had them once before and didn't like them. Still because they look so good I decided to try them again. Oh my gosh, no more. And I know so many people like "Mary's Gone Crackers" but I absolutely do not want to hear from anyone who does like them :byebye: . I DO always like the rest of this dish but the "Mary's gone crackers" ruined it.

I also had a Green Giant's frozen side dish that I like a lot. It's sliced green beans with almonds. Normally I add evoo and garlic, and it's fabulous. This time I decided to make what I will call the lazy man's green bean casserole. I added onion frizzles and cream of mushroom condensed soup. Oh my goodness, it was okay but overall just silly.

Then for dessert I tried some Gavottes thin butter crackers. They were very bland. :vigil:

I hear you about the blandness of Mary's Gone Crackers (brand of crackers). I thought they were pretty good until I found better crackers, so I gave them up in favor of a new line of crisps by Lesley Stowe (Rain Coast Crisps).

www.lesleystowe.com


I really like the crisps. They come in a variety of flavors and blends (cranberry, olive, garlic, cheese, rosemary). And they are delicious and very tasty and filling. I like them a lot.

Have you also tried Divina's Fig Spread? I use the fig spreads and couple them with smoked gouda or other vegan plant based cheeses to make a tasty snack, which ends up being more of a small meal.

I like the Chili Fig Spread and the Orange Fig Spread. Both are very delicious. :)

For supper tonight, I plan on making a party tray of Rain Coast Crisps, brie, Jalapeno spread and Divina's Fig Spread with a portion of Red Grapes and cubed cantaloupe on the side.

And, McMenamin Brewery's handcrafted Ruby Ale, on the side, for a late afternoon Sunday evening supper.

I made my spaghetti and meat sauce. I use ground turkey for more than one reason really. CCB is a vegetarian and I try not to cook smelly meats in our small apartment.......PLUS.......ground turkey is less fatty. Then I add a jarred sauce of my liking and doctor it with spices. Oh and a little wine.......gives it a nice zing. Then of course you boil up the spaghetti.

I had this vegetarian / tofu version of "chicken salad" that I get from the health food store. It's packaged in a way that it goes bad really quick, so I have to catch it at just the right moment, which is silly but it's so unique that it's kind of worth it. I always have it on celery sticks.

I made a no-lettuce salad with hearts of palm, mushrooms, and Brianna's poppyseed dressing. If you have not had Brianna's poppyseed salad dressing- omg, it is soooo good. My brother and his husband served it on salad one night, and I had to get it. It's in many stores.

I had a Lindt white chocolate truffle for dessert, and I was so bored by it. I was just curious whether I'd like it.

[Gemme]

Last night, I had a Southwest bagged salad with added chicken. Water to drink and Reese's miniature cups for dessert plus a couple of Twizzler sticks just because.

Hahahahaha!!!! Ewwwwwwww!! LOL

I grew up with Krystal burgers, but it was my sister who took to them more than I did. I call them "dinner roll burgers", only with the thinnest piece of mini meat (product) and they were steamed (yuck). They were excellent fare if you were hungry after they shut the bar down on you. Even better that they were cheap, because back then, my friends and I would drink our money away and be down to our last few dollars. You could get a sack of those little "burgers" for damned near next to nothing (usually less than $5 and the bag would be full of lots of them). We would fill up on them, so that was how I ate (tolerated) them back then.

These days, I can't even look at a Krystal burger, or even a White Castle dinner roll burger and want to eat it. It's just disgusting, and since I no longer drink alcoholic beverages or beer anymore, I don't anticipate being forced via poverty and drunkenness to eat them. No one is quite sure what is in that tiny little patty of "meat product", but I have a sneaky suspicion that a reasonable person wouldn't want to eat it.

Just keep in mind that you always get exactly what you pay for. LOL

I went to the river and watched boats and jet skiers and ate a huge slice of Carrot cake, which had yummy frosting between all the tiers (4) and chopped Pecans on top.

It has been awhile since I have had carrots. I am not supposed to have them. But I just had to have carrots tonight.

<<<<<<~~~ carrot coma will help me sleep tonight.

I will choose a salad tomorrow, to get back on track.

[nycfem]

There's a bakery in NYC that only sells freshly made carrot cake. People love it and line up around the block for it. You can choose between regular carrot cake or raisins and walnuts inside. Both are amazing!

Tonight I had an Amy's Moroccan Tagine wrap and a few squares of white chocolate with hazelnuts.

On our vacation (starting this past Monday, got back today), my dinners were as follows (from restaurants):

Monday: Something called Asian Brussels sprouts which I imagined would be those deliciously charred Brussels sprouts but were instead barely cooked Brussels Sprouts with a fried coating. Oh my gosh, I felt totally sick after them. I think it was the combination of all those undercooked Brussels sprouts and not having fried food for a long time.

Tuesday: Chinese but not a nice place. I had scallion pancakes and some tofu and veggie dish. Totally felt sick after. Started to worry I had COVID because why did I feel horrible after dinner again! Yes, I was googling until late at night worrying!

Wednesday: Finally a good meal that did not make me feel sick! Ironically it was a big Mexican meal of a bean burrito and nachos! Go figure! :vigil:

Thursday: We went to a seafood place on the water. They didn't really have good veggie stuff so I picked up some beans and brown rice from the Mexican place to bring there (picnic table type seating), and BB and I shared onion straws and corn fritters. Again... I did not feel sick at all after, and that was a lot of fried food. It was actually absolutely delicious. Oh, and for dessert I had vanilla ice cream with dark chocolate and caramel.

I'm all caught up on describing my dinners :byebye:

[Jedi]

I'm thinking of portabello mushroom stroganoff over egg noodles. The vegetarian dish is really easy and quite tasty. Hopefully CCB can get beyond the total sour creaminess (she's so picky.....but you gotta love her).

[Stone-Butch]

I finally got some fresh rainbow trout. A nice bunch of steamed spinach will go nicely with that. Coffee.

[Mopsie]

A coworker gave me some eggplant because he had too many. So I tried this (https://hurrythefoodup.com/aubergine-curry-eggplant-curry/) recipe. Super yummy!

Coconut shrimp in the air fryer.
I think an avacado salad. I have a new dressing I want to try, Hatch chili ranch.

Strawberry short cake. I have sliced the berries and added a little sugar to get the juices going. I even added some blue berries. I bought a little square piece of vanilla coke cake that I will slice horizontally. That way I can layer the berries in the middle. Sounds good huh?

You know...life is uncertain, you should eat dessert first !🍓🍓🍰

Tonight I got home from my walk and saw that BB had baked a healthier version of chocolate chip cookies. OMG, that was definitely the first part of my dinner. Then I had some spanakopita appetizers (frozen / microwaved). As Besame says, eat dessert first! :wine:

I could barely sleep last night, thinking about my fears about starting work back at school in September. So tonight I had a bit of a pity party dinner for myself. I ordered in Chinese AND ice cream.

Pearls Chinese Restaurant, my fave in my neighborhood:

orange tofu (this is like orange chicken, but I just tell them to sub tofu- oh my gosh, I love the flavor of the orange peel)

sesame noodles (the solution to everything)

Ben & Jerry's:

Brownie sundae (vanilla ice cream, brownie, caramel, m&ms -- a pandemic favorite of mine)

It was tasty but, of course, overly filling. While I ate I listened to Randy Rainbow videos on youtube.

Oh, and it was raining outside, which always makes ordering in extra fun.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I am stuck on Sun Dried Tomato wrap (tortillas), so I am having another wrap tonight for supper.

What I do is use organic romaine lettuce and I wash and dry it and chop it up, then add other types of lettuces to the main batch. Then I shred a few small parsnips, raw beets and break up a small floret of cauliflower and toss it all together. If I have a little bit of dark purple cabbage, I shred a bit of it up too, to add more color to the dry salad greens mix. After I get it all mixed up, I take a small Lime and quarter it and use one quarter of Lime to freshly squeeze over one portion of salad greens I stuff into a Sun Dried Tomato Wrap. Once I do that, I usually eat it just like it is, unless I need a small dose of protein, then I add some finely chopped walnuts and a generous smear of Mascarpone cheese to the shell of the wrap.

So, there you have it: My summer stand-by supper wrap. It's filling.

Until my sweet tooth begins to rage. When that happens, I just nosh on a miniature cupcake thingy and maybe have a few spoonful's of my favorite Dark Raspberry Sorbet. I might have that for dessert tonight.

Sparkling Italian Water to drink.

[Bèsame*]

I had 3 jalapeno poppers, about 5 baby smokehouse potatoes and a bowl of broccoli topped with real butter and shredded Colby jack cheese.

1/2 cup of cherry juice. Which is how much I poured out of a bottle of cherry juice to make my next batch of homemade wine. And oh my gosh, that juice is good. I just hope I get some good cherry wine.

I made sugar free lemon pudding the other day. I mixed blueberries and put them into little parfait dishes. I topped it off with a mixture of sour cream and lemon juice. ...

Let me tell you, oh so refreshing!

[Stone-Butch]

OMG just the kind of desert I have dreamed of sugar free lemon pudding.

Leftover chicken korma, basmati rice, and naan bread from lunch. It was sooo good.

- a honeycrisp apple
- peanut butter

[Bèsame*]

I was on my way home wanting to stop and get dinner. I said, nooo. You have an Italian sausage patty and half a log of marinating mozzarella cheese. Ok, so something Italian-ish.

No pasta, but butter noodles cooked and drained. Added a handful of spinach, garlic, olive oil and chopped cherry tomatoes. Put in the chopped sausage patty. Tossed in chunky chopped mozzarella cheese. Oh and sprinkled balsamic vinegar on top.

So that's what I came up with, with the stuff I already had.

Possible cold watermelon later.

[Kätzchen]

I maowed down all of the Sun Dried Tomato Wraps I had on hand for the wraps I make with veggies. So I'm going to open up a different bag of wraps: Rosemary & Olive Oil wraps.

I am going to go make a wrap right now and have something to eat, since I waited until real late to have supper. Maybe just a half of one, save the other half for lunch tomorrow.

Cantaloupe (cubed) on the side.

Water to drink.

And a few sun dried figs for dessert. The Sierra type of fig. They're pretty yummy. :)

I’m still learning how to use it. I made some shrimp the other day and they came out rock hard after 8 minutes! It cooks really fast. Next time I’ll keep an eye on them and will cook them for less time.

So glad I tried it again. I no longer need my toaster oven.

So we went out to eat tonight, the first time eating out since Covid started. We went to the Marina, a restaurant that sits on the river and has outdoor seating. We ordered a "small plate" of fish tacos which equals 2. For entrees, I went with an ahi tuna steak and Bevi went with crabmeat sliders. The food pricing had gone through the roof since we were last there. The service was slow and the food disappointing to say the least. Thinking hibernation isn't so bad after all. On the way home we did stop at the grocery store to buy veggies and burgers to throw on the new grill (Nexgrill....similar to a Blackstone) that Bevi bought me for my birthday. We are both looking forward to giving that grill a shot this weekend.

My coworker also gave me more eggplant so I made this (https://gimmedelicious.com/low-carb-eggplant-pizza-bites/) recipe as well. Super yummy! 😋 And it's low carb!

If it's hard to keep fresh herbs, maybe try a paste that can be refrigerated and last longer?

This (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Gourmet-Garden-Basil-Stir-In-Paste-4-oz/44391208?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=2283&&adid=22222222227000000000&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=42423897272&wl4=aud-834279576166:pla-51320962143&wl5=9002233&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=44391208&veh=sem&gclid=Cj0KCQjwp4j6BRCRARIsAGq4yMEaTbkxEO2T90-wnR5Hd7xUuAmpAmJswdRhs3X4ubRpW1d5MNV5c4AaAsEJEALw_ wcB) one is easily available and is made from organic basil.

I've tried a version of this before - it may have been the same brand and it may not. I keep it in the refrigerator at my mom's house. I was really pleased with it. It's nice to keep around. It's basically just chopped basil in olive oil.

I love a good cannoli - especially when they have chocolate chips in them. So delicious!

Darn it! Now I wish I did take some of the fresh squash another co-worker brought in. Shoot

This recipe was really easy - probably would be great with zucchini too (in case someone shows up with that). :chef:
