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).
