Dinner tonight.

https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/12/sauced-vodka-cream-sauce-recipe.html
I do the hollandaise a bit differently. Melt butter with lemon juice in a bowl in the microwave, place bowl au bain marie over a small pan of simmering water. Whisk in egg yolks. When thickened to desired consistency remove from heat and adjust seasonings. A lot of people swear by the modern blender methods for foolproof hollandaise but clean up is so much easier using the classic technique.3 -
Chicken stew tonight. Feels like Fall today with the cool rainy weather so I needed some comfort food.2

I repeated a recipe that worked well that I photographed a few days ago. Amazingly enough, in the portions listed this comes out to around 490 calories. Recipe is for 1 person (yes I made it up).
1 peach, seed removed (~200g)
1 boneless pork chop (~200g)
8 g butter
mini yellow potatoes (~150g)
peeled garlic cloves (~12g)
8 g butter
28 g milk
salt
baby arugula and spinach salad mix (28g)
balsamic vinegar (6g)
salt seasoned with rosemary, oregano et al (some discretion on your choice of seasoned salt here)
Put potatoes into a bowl with garlic cloves, add water to just cover, microwave on potato setting.
Meanwhile begin frying the pork chop in about 2 g of butter on medium heat with a cover. Cut the peach into thin (1/4 inch~1/2 cm) wedges. When the pork chop is ready to flip (as you like for done-ness), flip the pork chop, add the peaches and arrange them around the pork chop, and add 6g butter in which to brown the peaches. Cover.
Removed cooked potatoes and garlic from the microwave, drain, dry with a towel, mash together with the milk and 8g butter. Salt to taste. Put in separate serving plate or mound in center of plate.
Rinse arugula/spinach mix and arrange in center of plate (optionally over the garlic mash). drizzle with 5-8g balsamic vinegar.
When the pork chop is done cooking, remove it from the peaches and put it on top of the arugula. Remove lid from peaches, reduce liquids slightly to thicken, arrange cooked peaches and juice around the pork chop.
Top with the chosen seasoned salt. A rosemary-themed salt works well.
You can nudge the butter quantities around a bit to suit your taste and the day's calorie allowance.

Last night: Sauteed green beans, Teriyaki Salmon Patties, Salad and Rice (for son).
Going to roast it whole or slice it?
I did mine sliced and pan seared then returned back to finish in the sauce.
I roasted it whole. Came out Delish! Still have another loin left. I'm going to eat that tonight with butternut ravioli with butter sage sauce and some greens on the side I think.2 -

There are a lot of good cooks around here, and from the pics people have put some attention into plating. I'm impressed, you know how the diet experts all say to use mindfulness as an aid to losing weight by paying attention to your food. The beautiful meal images here make great examples toward that goal.5

This afternoon into the evening was full of cooking. Dinner was oven baked chicken katsu (made with chicken thighs before adding sauce), simmered kabocha squash, and rice. Dessert will be an apple dumpling. I also made corn broth from some of the frozen corn cobs that were put in the freezer in September.
Saturday was nockerl to go with the Georgian chicken leftovers.4 -

We had company so I couldn't be in the kitchen much. So in between I made: Broccoli cheese soup and quinoa with veggies (zucchini, onion, peppers and chickpeas) Our dinner once everyone left.

We had chili last night. It was vegetarian with a bit of TVP mixed in. (No one here either noticed or at least didn't ask if it wasn't a bit of ground beef.) Sauteed onion, spices, corn, and cans of rotel. Added 8 cans of 'chili beans', canneloni, dark and light kidney beans, and black beans. With a choice of saltine or oyster crackers, shredded cheddar, sour cream, or fatfree greek yogurt.
It was a very simple and quickly-made chili as I was busy burning up twigs, leaves, and such outside.

Grilled boneless pork chops, green beans, and smashed baby Yukon Gold potatoes. Best meal I’ve had in a long time.
I brined the pork chops and added 1/2 tablespoon of liquid smoke to the brine. Really made a difference.3 -
grilled marinated chicken thighs with a side of roasted asparagus. Never underestimate a good thigh!

Tried a chicken-veg stir fry last evening. Chicken breast, green and red peppers, onions, celery, carrots and mushrooms in a homemade soy-ginger sauce, over brown rice. Tasty. Easy prep. Low sodium. Virtually no fat except some oil. Have yet to figure my MFP macros, but I expect they should be quite reasonable.

Tale of Two Meals: using leftover uncooked ingredients from last evening's dinner (Chicken-veg soy-ginger stir fry, see previous posting), I made another saute dish this evening: Italian-style sauteed chicken and vegetables. Chicken breast, fresh diced plum tomatoes, red and green peppers, onions, seasonings (includes minced garlic), dash of white wine (as a deglazer after cooking the chicken and before the veg). Another low sodium, low fat (even with some cheese included), good macros count dish. Uncharacteristically, no carb side (e.g., rice or pasta) tonight.

Last thing i cooked was my lunch and breakfast for today which was lite creole chicken breast seared in a pan of coconut oil over wild and brown rice with Brussels sprouts then used the same pan as the chicken to cook my egg whites to soak up rest of the lite creole seasoning and add turkey sausage links.
