What are you having for dinner tonight?

A slice of homemade Keto Lemon Pound Cake

Had planned on having chicken but lost my appetite for a meal while making the cake.

https://joyfilledeats.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/keto-lemon-pound-cake-1-7.jpg

And here’s the recipe: https://joyfilledeats.com/keto-lemon-pound-cake/

I used a hand mixer instead of a processor. It came out pretty good. Overdone on the sides and bottom. Next time I’ll double up on the parchment paper. Texture was almost perfect and way better than expected. I used monk fruit for sweetener and it’s the best I’ve tried so far.

It helps that I haven’t had real pound cake in ages.

:bow:

I am not a big fan of lemon, in fact I always cringe when the Pioneer Woman and Barefoot Contesa use it so very often, but this lemon pound cake, I'd try that in a heartbeat!

[Orema]

I am not a big fan of lemon, in fact I always cringe when the Pioneer Woman and Barefoot Contesa use it so very often, but this lemon pound cake, I'd try that in a heartbeat!

I'm nuts about lemons. This recipe called for water in the icing but I used lemon juice and it was perfect for me. Nice and tangy.

This was easy-peasy to make. I haven't made more than one or two cakes from scratch in over 20 years (thank you, Betty Crocker), but gave it try with this one and am glad I did.

It may not be as good to people who are accustomed to gluten and sugar, but I can't get over how it good it is to me.

Will definitely make this one again.

Tonight will have burger on low-carb tortilla with lots of fixings and cake for dessert.

A little while ago, I saw this miniature popcorn tub at a store. I pondered it over and decided to go ahead and pick it up. It was less than $2 and I eat popcorn regularly, so why not I thought. Well, my big bags won't fit in it natch but the smaller 100 calories bags are a PERFECT size. They fill it up exactly to the top.

So, my dinner tonight has been a 100 calorie bag of butter flavored popcorn, 2 Halos, 1 small apple and I'm contemplating the banana. If I opt for it, I'll add the tiniest smidge of reduced fat peanut butter to it to help slow the sugar absorption. Water to drink.

Dinner was light because of calorie laden breakfast and a big lunch as well.

[Orema]

Pork chop, turnips, asparagus. Will probably season everything, add to sheet pan, and bake in oven.

Cake and blueberries for dessert.

[Stone-Butch]

BBQ ribs and tater tots. Ice tea.

[C0LLETTE]

leftover caviar and fries.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- turkey sandwich on white
- a tangerine

I am mostly eating stuff that can be packed in a cooler these days. My caregiver makes it for me before leaving for work. Leads to some pretty unexciting meals.

This looks absolutely delish. I had to go on their site and see if anyone sells them near me and there's a Target 6 miles away that does so I will be trying this.

Last night, I got out of work 3 hours late due to a security issue, so it was popcorn and a sliced cuke dipped in buttermilk cracked peppercorn dressing. Very very light dinner.

[C0LLETTE]

Might heat up a can of chilli over an open fire in the backyard and sing cowgirl songs.

[Stone-Butch]

BBQ pork buttons. The most tender fall off the bone meat I have had since Moses was in kneepants. Delicious. Ice Tea

It's more of a linner or a dunch because I never officially ate lunch today but I'm eating Caesar salad with part of a naan round (it got cold and hard before I finished it so that was that), 5 tomatoes (https://www.natureandmore.com/en/products/wild-wonder-tomatoes) and water to drink. I suspect I'll get a bit noshy before bed so I'll have either a Halo or an apple.

Anytime! I love to have friends at my table. The bread is yummy.

[Kätzchen]

Last night I made an interesting medley of plant-based 'rice', with plant-based meatless 'meat-balls', and tossed in a bunch of freshly chopped celery, sweet onion and sweet bell pepper (red, yellow and orange mini peppers chopped up) and after it was almost ready for dinner, I added Chao Field Roast 'cheese' slices, to make it creamy and very tasty.

I have a couple of servings left over from last night, so I will have it again for dinner tonight.

I may, however, go on a baking spree later today. I want to make some cookies. Probably oatmeal-raisin-walnut cookies. Lots of cinnamon, too.

[Stone-Butch]

Baked bone-in porkchop, scalloped potato with lots of cheese. Ice tea.

[FireSignFemme]

Stuffed bell peppers. I got a really good deal – red, yellow and orange were selling for less than the price of green. So I'm skipping green and using some of the red tonight. Don't really need much else with this standalone dish but I'll probably have some seedless watermelon for dessert. Maybe a glass of warm milk or cup of hot tea afterwards depending how full I feel.

[Stone-Butch]

Homemade cheeseburger with everything including bacon. Ice tea.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

The plan is for lasagna. I can't wait - I'm ready for something spicy and cheesy.

Tonights plan is roasting
Roasted Portabello Mushrooms
Big salad
Yam/Sweet Potato "Pie" for dessert

I will throw in yams and heads of garlic for later use while the 'shrooms bake
With the roasted yams I make something that to me is reminiscent of pumpkin pie*, mash the yam add appropriate cinnomon, ground cloves, etc and chopped walnuts on top for texture with a bit of butter for richness.

*Given that I haven't had actual pumpkin pie in about a decade, it works for me..

Dinner was a taco using Jackfruit as a meat substitute. It didn't have much flavor on it's own but it was fine with all the fixins. I had an Ortega flour tortilla with sour cream, shredded cheese, a sliced yellow tomato, dots of black bean and jalapeno hummus, shredded lettuce, a few dots of a chipotle sauce and, of course, the Tex-Mex jackfruit. I rolled it up and dipped it into a little puddle of Taco Bell Mild taco sauce. No sugar in it! I had a Halo for dessert and water to drink.

Nope, it was a bagged salad.

Doctored up Red Baron frozen pizza. Side salad. Quad shot expresso. Some sort of some dessert something I can grab at the coffee shop. Probably cookies but maybe a pastry depending oon what's there to tempt me.

[Gemme]

I had nearly the same dinner as last night only this time I also had a Greek flatbread too. So, here's my thoughts on the dill pickle salad...the salad part is fine...regular bagged salad....but the dressing contains tiny pieces of dill pickle in it so it reminded me, texture-wise, of a thin tartar sauce. The taste was okay though. Not in your face but there like a mild relish ranch flavor. It comes with a bag of brioche croutons, which is where the added sugar in it comes from.

I try to keep my added sugars as close to zero as possible but I really wanted to try this salad so it got it. To cut down on the sugar, I just didn't use all of the bagged croutons.

As a side note, even if you use a strong mouthwash and drink lots of water, you might still be tasting the dressing later.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

All-organic apple-pecan cobbler. We got a big variety of apples in a CSA box.

Salt and pepper wings with dill pickle salad. Got the Taylor Farms brand of dill pickle salad and it was really good. So were the wings.

Thanks for the tip, Gemme.

[Gemme]

Welcome! I like weird foods and I like pickles so it made sense to try it.

Last night, I had a bacon Caesar salad with 3 giant Halos and water to drink. Not sure what was up with me but I apparently needed a lot of vitamin C.

Pizza!

Not that I'm ever sad about having pizza, but dinner was going to be broccoli slaw, baba ghanoush and lemon jello and fruit salad. Unfortunately, my system has revolted against me, and I can't eat any more raw or fibrous foods for a few days. I know that my system will accept pizza, any time, any place! (But that baba sure was delicious.)

[Gemme]

I had the other half of the Caesar salad from last night plus two giant Halos, 1 Greek flatbread for the extra salad dressing, water to drink and then I nibbled on some tuna fish. Yeah, I don't know why either. Straight up too. No mayo or relish or anything. That's weird, even for me.

[Stone-Butch]

Baked pork chop and scalloped potatoes au gratin and steamed green beans. Ice tea.

[Gemme]

I had half of an avocado ranch salad, 2 Halos and water. Not sure why this combination makes me happy but I'm sure I'll get tired of it eventually.

I always look forward to your posts!

Your cooking for just yourself impresses the hell out of me and you're making solid meals not just opening up cans or deli stuff like I did when I was single.:|

Going to have fried codfish with leftover scalloped potatoes. Ice tea.

[Gemme]

Last night, I got home and ate very late....about an hour before my usual bedtime...so I had about a quarter bag of the avocado ranch salad with one grilled chicken strip torn up and thrown in the bowl. Water to drink.

Tonight, I had the remaining quarter bag of the avocado ranch salad with maybe 3 torn up grilled chicken strips, one Honeycrisp apple and water to drink.

[Kätzchen]

a cup of hot herbal tea by Tazo Passion: it's a blend of hibiscus and passion flower herbs, maybe a titch of chamomile too. It is delicious. And, two blueberry gummi drops.

I had a big lunch earlier today, Popeye's classic chicken sandwich.
It was ... Coma-ville delish! :jester:

[FireSignFemme]

Chicken satay. I don't know if it's always cooked on skewers but this is. I've never cooked anything on a skewer before, not that I can remember anyway. So I keep putting off dinner as the thought of making it has me feeling more than just a little bit intimidated. Anyhow I don't know what else with it because it seems it's served along with rice and J's nagging at me to stay low carb. Maybe fake cauliflower rice but to me that tastes like something even people in prison probably aren't served. I worked with people on parole, some even still in prison once and the meals. You know it's perfectly legal to serve people in prison bologna that's starting to turn green? Then they wonder why people try and escape. I 'd have to apologize profusely and really suck up to my kids so they'd put money on my books and I could live off canteen.

An eccentric meal - a friend hosted a small Alice In Wonderland themed late tea:

- Lemonade with purple ice balls that turned the lemonade pink as they melted, with garnish of mint leaves and edible glitter
- Eggs Benedict
- Assorted macaroons - coconut/saffron, rose water, and lavender
- Pralines
- Jello with blueberries and dried cherries soaked in brandy

It was very psychedelic.

I splurged. Since school started, I have been doing fast food crap. Tonight I made steaks and jumbo shrimp. It was a very good choice and a nice step away from the fast food joints.

I also found a new website for interesting new recipes. I am looking forward to making something from there.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- 2 granola bars
- 2 mandarin oranges
- 2 macaroons

[C0LLETTE]

I've always loved macaroons but never knew that not all macaroons were macarons:

"Macarons and macaroons differ in their main ingredient, which for macarons is almond meal, and macaroons is shredded coconut. ... Macarons are available in countless flavors and colors. Coconut macaroons are made from shredded coconut held together by egg whites and granulated sugar."

Now I know but I still can't make them.

[PlatinumPearl]

Potatoes with lemon and dill, broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts.

"Macarons and macaroons differ in their main ingredient, which for macarons is almond meal, and macaroons is shredded coconut. ... Macarons are available in countless flavors and colors. Coconut macaroons are made from shredded coconut held together by egg whites and granulated sugar."

Now I know but I still can't make them.

Now I know too! I had no idea there was a difference. I can't make them either - I've heard about the kids bursting into tears on _Junior Chef_ with Gordon Ramsey. I don't even want to try. But I am also unwilling to pay $2 apiece. I'm lucky to have a friend that likes to bake.

[C0LLETTE]

Too much info?

"So why are macarons so difficult to make? ... French macaroons are incredibly sensitive to moisture above everything. This is why some recipes call for "ageing egg whites" as when egg whites get old they loose some moisture.

Aside from a few wayward crumbs, eating a macaron should be clean. Filling shouldn't squish out of the cookie nor should it leave much residue on your teeth. ... The cookie's texture beneath the crust should be light, just a little chewy, and soft, but not so soft that it's mushy. It's okay if the cookie looks "uncooked."

If your macarons don't have feet, it could be because your batter is too wet. Make sure you're using aged egg whites and avoid adding liquid flavoring and coloring. Most likely the reason for underdeveloped feet is because your macarons did not develop a skin before baking."

[Stone-Butch]

Pasta with alfredo sauce, chopped broccoli and small ring of cooked shrimp thawed. Ice tea.







Ok moe an easy one for you , you will love. I chose fettuccine as my pasta, one bottle of alfredo sauce, chopped steamed broccoli and one ring of thawed cooked shrimp. NOW you will love it and it will take you no time at all. Just boil the pasta, dump the water, heat the sauce, steam broccoli and throw the thawed shrimp in the fry pan for one minute to heat up and add. You can shake on some parm. cheese if you feel the need plus some salt and pepper.

I had pecan pie for breakfast with a nice cup of hot tea. I am tired of eating so I plan to dial it back with a light snack for dinner. I am thinking queso.

[FireSignFemme]

Leftovers - Meatballs in brown gravy over mashed potatoes. Green beans as a side, water and black tea to drink. Last serving of canned peaches for dessert. It's alright but a bit of a let down. My oldest and I had planned to do some sales shopping, then going out to dinner afterwards but that was canceled so now it's all about my own cooking. Which though it turned out well and tastes pretty good today especially for left overs, still by comparison – ick!

[Stone-Butch]

Striploin and green salad. Ice tea.

[Gemme]

I had a field greens salad last night with gourmet tomatoes, real bacon bits, wonton strips, shredded cheese and light OG dressing. It has more added sugars than I would prefer but damn, I like it. An apple for dessert and water to drink.

[Orema]

Last night was a pork chop and asparagus and tonight will be a burger on low-carb tortilla.

[Bèsame*]

Last night was a repeat of Thursdays dinner..prime rib and twice baked potato half.

Tonight..I'm working late. So who knows??

[Stone-Butch]

Just finished my BBQ ribs again this week, so so tasty. Potato puffs. Ice tea.

[C0LLETTE]

Wild oats.

[Gemme]

I had a veggie burger with avocado oil mayo, pickles and smeared yolk (blends with the mayo and makes a super creamy and smooth "sauce") on an Artesano bun. I also had the egg white, since it was a hardboiled egg, salt and peppered, and an apple plus a banana with a small schmear of reduced fat peanut butter for dessert and water to drink.

[Stone-Butch]

chicken wings and tater tots. Ice tea.

[kittygrrl]

i think she's planning a Stirfry which will be amazing(because they always are) :)

[Kätzchen]

Did anybody else eat a lot of food over the holiday weekend? I did, lol, so I am taking it easy tonight.

I pan seared some alternative vegan meatless veggie tenders in evoo. Then I drizzled a touch of sesame teriyaki sauce on them. Hot herbal tea to drink (Tazo's Orange Spice). Water too.

[Stone-Butch]

Frangelico is excellent stuff. I recently bought a bottle (it's been 20 yrs since the last one ) and will sip it lovingly and sparingly into the New Year.

It is excellent. I suggest trying it in a cup of hot orange pekoe tea with a slice of orange, if you have never had it this way.

Is that better than chug-a-lugging straight from the bottle?

A steamy bowl of vegan barley soup! My honey made me a pot full of it Sunday before I took her back to her place. She keeps a baggy of "soup bones" in the freezer...ends off zucchinis, parsnips, green onions, carrots, leafy greens we chop up for this, sun dried tomatoes, beef bone broth, onions, potatoes.....and it was so good!!

PS...I have a ton of vegan dishes since we began dating back in July & have lost 20 lbs. I need to lose 34 more so my surgeon will finish my hernia repair. Today I am wearing an XL long sleeved shirt and 2xl sweatpants...I used to wear 3xl or 4xl shirts...:) and 4 xl sweats. I am so proud of myself. No longer do I eat out, have left off sodas, breads, & carbs, and sweets!!! We cook every meal here or there....we did have take out Sushi & salad a few weeks back....:)

That soup sounds delish, Clay! And, too, so incredibly supportive of your sweetheart "C". :)

Rico is the better cook, so when we dine together at his place or mine, he sets aside extras for me, so I dont have to cook. He is so good to me. :stillheart:

Tonight, because I had a big lunch with Rico (at work), I am having just a few of the beautiful grapes we had at lunch and a few gummi drops (strawberry, blueberry and watermelon). And a cup or two of hot herbal tea. Lemon Loaf by Tazo.

Eccles

It's always fun to look up the etymology of food names. So i looked up "ecclefechan tart" (Scots ) and "eccles cakes" (England ) and ended up with Ecclesiastes.

Thanks GeorgiaMa'am.

[Stone-Butch]

Thawed out some of my homemade meat sauce so I had that on spaghetti. Ice tea.

[Gemme]

I was super noshy tonight so I had my usual half a salad but then I had a couple of small apples sliced up and then a few cashews and then some snack crackers and peppercorn cheese as well as a couple of my gourmet medley tomatoes. Water to drink.

[FireSignFemme]

Well last night for dinner J made me spaghetti, french bread and a German chocolate cake for my birthday. All of it homemade and from scratch. :)

[Stone-Butch]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FireSignFemme and many many more to come. From a distance we shared a spaghetti dinner eh.

[Gemme]

Happy birthday, FSF!

Tonight I had a chicken sandwich with avocado oil mayo and pickles plus steamed edamame and the last of the crackers and peppercorn cheese. I also had the odd tomato or two and a couple of Halos. Old lady probiotic prunes for dessert and water to drink.

Found out why I've been so munchy lately. The Red River of Dooooooom has arrived.

[clay]

Tomato Pie...vegan style! My sweet love made it for me today. It is SOOOOO good!!!

I have enough for several portions...as she made an 8x8 pan of it!!!

[Orema]

Last night was thinly sliced sirloin sautéed with onions and sweet mini peppers on a low-carb tortilla. No dessert because I had French fries for lunch.

[Stone-Butch]

Made up more spaghetti and had the left over meat sauce I had made. Ice tea.

This sounded so good, I had to look it up. It looks even better!

I'm gonna have to try this!

[Bèsame*]

It was a chili night. Lots of onions, celery, cilantro, yellow pepper, garlic..not much ground beef and about a half a cup of black beans. Topped off my bowl with sour cream and cheese.

Found a recipe for corn casserole. I'm not a fan of corn bread but this called for a box of jiffy cornbread mix. And you know it called for creamed corn, which I could not find. Imagine that?! I made my own, regular sweet crisp corn with a splash of heavy cream in my bullet thingy.

Good dinner😉

[Gemme]

I had half a salad with a few things extra thrown in, some steamed edamame, an apple and water to drink.

[C0LLETTE]

Habitant French Canadian pea soup

[Gemme]

Habitant French Canadian pea soup

I had to look this up. I didn't know if it was a special type of recipe or whatnot. Basically, it's Canadian version of Campbell's soup.

Come to think of it...split pea soup does sound good right about now. Well, not NOW but maybe tomorrow. It'll still be a wee bit chilly then too. I like mine with bits of smoky bacon or ham in it.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- smoked turkey
- cornbread dressing with gravy
- green beans

Forgot the cranberry sauce!

[Bèsame*]

Today is the day I'm roasting the free turkey. Tonight, sliced turkey, cranberries and balsamic brussel sprouts.

In my future..turkey wraps.

[Stone-Butch]

English meat pub pie, mashed potatoes, gravy, peas. Ice tea.

Last night was a keto version of chicken and cashews. It was okay. I'm not crazy about that dish, but had the ingredients and wanted to try something new.

I'll have leftovers and will try to make it more interesting.

I'll have leftovers and will try to make it more interesting.

I did my own ingredient lottery myself tonight. I wound up with whole grain rice, steamed edamame, sautéed mixed peppers, a sliced up spicy chicken patty, diced cashews and a wee bit of Healthy Choice Power Dressing Creamy Italian just for something to hold it all together.

I think the Greener Goddess dressing would have been a better choice but the Italian wasn't disgusting, so there's that. I can't have any of the Asian flavored dressings and sauces I used to because of their sugar content and also because I haven't found a replacement flavor for them yet. Two small apples for dessert and water to drink.

Mine was better than I thought it would be. I added kale and butter to the chicken and cashews and made a savory side salad (lettuce, mayo, tomatoe, onion) and it was good. Hope yours turned out well.

Tonight will be a thin-cut, bone in pork chop with something green on the side and a sugar-free, canna butter/peanut butter cookie for dessert.

[Gemme]

It wasn't horrible. I had another version of the same thing tonight except I forgot about the edamame but I did use the Greener Goddess dressing and it was better suited for those flavors. I had some whole grain rice with a hardboiled egg diced up and then the sautéed mixed peppers on top with a dollop of the dressing and I mixed it all up. Not too shabby. Better than last night for sure.

Two small apples for dessert with 5 nuts from my mixed nut container and water to drink.

[Stone-Butch]

Did lots of shopping so I had a great supper of Halibut Fish and Chips at my favorite spot.

If it's Saturday night, it's pizza!

[Gemme]

Tonight, I just kept noshing. I couldn't figure it out until I remembered that I used some sweet & sour sauce for my chicken. Not a lot, but sugar drives the appetite up and so before it was all said and done, I'd eaten: a spicy chicken patty, some steamed edamame, sauced steamed veggies, 2 applies, 1 Halo and a bunch of nuts. Like two handfuls before it was over. It was my handful sized, which is smaller than most, but still far more than I usually eat. It was an experiment and I failed. The nuts were damn good, though. They went perfectly with the Halo. Water to drink.

[clay]

Last night, my honey made mock alfredo with angel hair pasta, shitakes, and diced tomatoes, with thinly sliced green onions on top. This is made with raw cashews, soaked in boiling water, then blended til creamy with addition of S&P, fresh, diced garlic cloves, & "nutch" (nutritional yeast) blended til creamy, then poured over cooked pasta, topped with G.O. OH Em GEE!

She also made, for today, mexican salad of eggplant, red beets, zucchini, & mixed up with a made dressing, and walnuts. That is also to die for! MOUTHGASMS. I have enough of both for the next few days!

Green beans and beef ... a variation on this (https://www.eatwell101.com/garlic-butter-steak-and-green-beans-recipe) recipe. Very tasty. Keto Lemon Pound Cake for dessert.

My new favorite butcher had a deal I couldn't pass up. This deal has 5 different meals..divide that...I'll be set!

Tonight..pulled pork. Divided..a meal tonight with left overs. The other half, another night.

Coleslaw with raisins and some cut up marshmallows. I was missing the pineapple chunks.

[Stone-Butch]

Baked pork chop and beet salad. Ice tea.

[FireSignFemme]

Something J made. She told me but I can't remember what. I opened the lid but only to smell it. I was afraid to investigate any further for fear if I did I'd devour it and be too full for my lunch sitting on the counter growing cold. I just know whatever it is, it's some type of homemade dish with some sort of small red beans in it, but it isn't any type of Spanish American or Mexican American dish I've ever had before. It smells delicious. Along with it she sent some homemade French bread because I liked what she made for my birthday so much. Unbelievably as good as it was last time this batch turned out even better! My son better never divorce her.

Made a keto Tuscan sausage soup last night in the Instant Pot for the first time. Didn’t come out good because I added too many sun dried tomato strips. Will try to salvage it for tonight by adding chicken broth.

Last night we had a buffet of lobster and crab. It was yummy.

I went out to pick up some things so I picked up Chinese food for dinner. YUM

[Kätzchen]

I'm making a fresh vegetable soup for Rico and I, tonight.

Organic vegetable broth, with chopped organic green cabbage, corn niblets, cauliflower and broccoli buds, chopped organic celery and organic red onion, with fresh tarragon leaves and fresh rosemary, with a fresh leaf of basil on top of the soup once I place it in our soup bowls.

Cranberry-Date seeded crackers with a spread-dip made of Jalapeno and Artichokes.

For a dessert, later on, I picked up freshly baked Cranberry-Orange muffins. We will probably split one between the two of us.

Water to drink and herbal tea with dessert.
