Last night, Budget Bytes recipe... Hearty Black Bean Quesadillas (but I used far less* cheese so I could eat more; this was bad bc without cheese, the tortillas (Tumaro's; 60 cal; Let's Skip the Sandwich Wraps from grocery store deli area) don't stay closed well). Still yummy! I have made these before with roasted sweet potatoes and chicken added, but ran out of time to cook this week
Basically 1 can of black beans (or 15 oz cooked beans), garlic, onion, taco seasoning/DIY, added a little salsa, and 2 slices of fontina cheese (chopped). Recipe said 1/2c per small tortilla. Makes 10 servings (only 8 in my hands).
Roughly 90 cal* plus 60 for my wrap -> 150 cal each. A little lime juice makes it even better.
ginger beef and stir fry veggies with whole wheat angel hair
cook beef with Worcestershire, ginger, soy, garlic, black pepper, corn starch to thicken right at the end. add veggies. swirl and warm up
the noodles i made with a touch of soy and Worcestershire
6 ounce chicken breast, bathed in fresh squeezed lemon with a little rosemary, chopped basil, cracked pepper, lightly battered in panko crumbs. sauteed in butter and olive oil. side dish of squash and zucchini and sweet onions sauteed in 1 Tblspn of olive oil and a little butter. add a little more lemon juice to the veggies, salt, pepper to taste. cut cherry tomato in half and warm up as the chicken is almost done. add a slice of low fat cheese to the chicken, top with fresh basil and enjoy!
Last night I made chicken "linguine" alfredo (aldi doesn't sell fettucini lol), a pan of roasted vegetables, and garlic bread. Tonight my husband is grilling hamburgers and brats.
Dinner tonight had a little more thought, given the soft foods diet. Scalloped swede with bacon bits. I should have added more salt, only I think it's better to under salt it VS ruining the dish. Fried coconut dusted fish. Salad. I did let the mozzarella topping get crusted over to a nice golden brown. I didn't think it needed more salt btw.
I made a skillet pizza in one of my new cast iron pans. (I LOVE my pans!)

Made BBQ chicken wings for lunch. I did want to fry them ... Only, baking them was more convenient. Cream of chicken vegetable soup - made a roux then added the heavy cream + full milk ( to thin it out) and later the parmesan cheese which was then added to the drained, cooked in stock boil up veggies and chicken for that buttery creaminess. Low carb cheddar bay biscuits.
Made ginormous egg frittata cups - eggs, potatoes, fajita veg, italian seasoning, smoked paprika, s&p. Ate one in an English muffin with a slice of cheese. Four budget bytes recipes coming up as today is my cooking day.
