    Whole wheat waffles for dinner, because it's all I could really stomach (I hate being sick). Used this recipe from King Arthur Flour and I would highly recommend it. So tasty.

    Whole wheat pasta with cima di rape (here in Rome, it's called broccoletti), and EVOO. Very pretty--beige and bright green.

    Tonight broth made with "osso buco" which are large beef bones plus pieces of beef, and a carrot, celery, and tomato. Simmered for hours. I strained it all, and refrigerated it and removed the layer of hard fat that formed on the top. I added small veal ravioli to the broth and boiled 3 min. The soup was served with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano on top. The meat was browned in a non stick pan and served on the side. It was extremely tender.

    Hubby is the weekday cook but he warmed up some cola chicken from the freezer that I made a couple of weekends ago. I did the Indonesian tomato salad and the Japanese cucumber salad using dressings that we make in batches to keep in the fridge. Rice was made in the rice cooker. So this was more or less a frozen ready meal.

    I was only cooking for myself yesterday so was lazy. Not really a proper meal but had roasted cauliflower sprinkled with grated mature cheddar.

    Not sure how to describe this, a sort of fajita style dish I think.

    Chicken strips, marinated in honey, soy sauce, lime juice, chili, cumin, paprika and olive oil, with bell peppers, sweet potato and carrots cooked in the same marinade.

    Steamed artichokes and my idiot proof hollandaise as a starter. I melt 50g butter, the juice of half to a whole lemon lemon and a dash of green tabasco in a large glass or ceramic bowl in the microwave. Put bowl over a small sauce pan au bain marie and whisk in an egg yolk until you reach the desired consitency. If it gets too thick add a few drops of water. Season to taste. The reason for using a large bowl is the fiddliness of pouring hollandaise into serving dishes when you need oven mits to handle the hot bowl.

    I got a sous vide stick for my birthday so experimenting with that today. Topside roast is in the sous vide. Will finish parboiled roast potatoes in the air fryer and finish sous vide carrots under the basket of the air fryer. Will sear the roast later either on the stove or in the air fryer on top of the potatoes.

    Was a little confused looking up topside sous vide recipes online, medium rare. Temperature varied from 52C to 59C and time from 2.5 hours to 24 hours. I am going for 6 hours at 52C. Maybe I should go for searing in the air fryer because I chose the lowest temperature of recipes online.

    Tonight I made whole wheat piadelle (wraps) with swiss cheese, iceberg lettuce and bresaola (salted lean beef) or turkey breast. I heat the wraps up flat alone in a non-stick frying pan, when toasted on one side, flip over and put on the cheese, meat and then the lettuce, fold in half, toast one side and then flip and toast the other. Nice and crispy, cheese is melting.......

    Moussaka. Never made it before and I’m tempted to log the time it took to prepare it because I was on my feet for an hour and change. And I’m already trying to think of ways to make it better because it had a metric ton of oil that seemed completely unnecessary.

    LAST EVENING: dinner for family/2 nights, Italian style: baked (not fried) chicken parm, pasta/sauce, steamed peas and side salad. Boneless/skinless breasts, thin-cut at home.

    TODAY: rainy, cool, January day - fresh loaf of bread. Whole wheat with whey - lower salt, lower cal, lower gylcemic index, more protein than comparable commercial breads and no long list of ingredients. Makes for a great-smelling kitchen. My experience with whey-augmented breads (3 scoops in this loaf) is that they brown more than flour-only loaves, giving a toasty top crust.

    No appetite because the antibiotics prescribed for my bronchitis made me vomit earlier today. Not sure if you should take another dose if you vomit 30 minutes after taking antibiotics. Rosti and roast courgette mixed jarred artichoke bits. Last night's leftover onion gravy.

    Last night --cream of potato and celery soup with freshly grated PR on top. Chicken thighs browned in a non stick kettle--no added oil (leftover bones and skin were simmered later for chicken broth). Tuna salad on toasted crusts of bread.

    Breaded and baked chicken breast, topped with a little marinara and shredded mozz cheese (a lazy chicken parm I suppose) with a side of spaghetti with marinara for my husband and daughter, for myself I made green beans in the air fryer.

    Stuffed red peppers with sauteed mushrooms, onions, celery, brown rice and pinto beans. I added left over home made vegetable spaghetti sauce until I got the consistency I wanted. Baked at 400 degrees for 40 minutes. Served with a side of roasted beets. Tasty and Satisfying :)
