Oooh, yours look super yummy, @just_Tomek. Meanwhile, I'm regretting having made such a small batch...
Edit to add nutritional info per cookie (9 total for my batch)...
211 calories (14g fat, 18g carbs, 4g protein)
Sometimes, I'm happy that I don't figure out values BEFORE eating. I downed two of these today.3 -

Dinner: Grilled pork chops, tomato salad--chopped fresh oblong tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, and EVOO. Plus

Pasta With Garlicky Anchovies and Broccoli
https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020842-pasta-with-garlicky-anchovies-and-broccoli-rabe?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share
- didn’t have rabe, so threw in a bag of frozen broccoli and a few handfuls of kale. Bumped up the protein by adding an extra fillet from last night’s salmon as well as a can of low sodium tuna. Used gemelli pasta. SO Delicious!! Pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t heavy 🙂

Lockdown Kima Curried Beef Over Coconut Rice
Kima, Keema or Kheema - I'm not sure the proper spelling of this traditional curried meat with potatoes and peas. This is another lockdown pantry attempt at an established dish. And, very, very tasty and satisfying, but no ethnic restaurant needs fear for their business when this stay-at-home period ends.
Fresh: red-skinned potatoes and an onion. Pantry: canned plain ground beef, canned tomatoes, and being out of canned peas, canned wax beans. With pantry flavorings and spices, brown rice and coconut.
MFP counts per serving (9 servings in the saute dish): 233 cals, 27g protein, 15g carbs, 7g fat (for the beef alone), plus the rice. Another moderately-high sodium dish (relative to our usual diets). Fairly easy to bring together. The picture is a little flash-lighting washed out.

Lockdown Vegan Black-Eyed Peas and Brown Rice Soup
The other night, I made a food experiment out of producing a Southern-influenced dish, "Hoppin' John" (posted above as "Jumpin' Jack"). For that, I had rehydrated an excess amount of dried black-eyed peas. So today, I was going to use them to try making some sort of pea fritters or bean burgers for lunch. About 20 minutes into the simmer process for the peas and rice (plus a dose of dehydrated veggies), I realized this could be a great soup instead. It was. Simple as anything, too: peas, rice, veg, herbs/spices; simmer till done. I used plain water, so this is a vegan meal; you can easily use a chicken or beef broth instead.
MFP estimates a bowlful serving of this (shown) would be 226 cals, 5g protein, 45g carb (with 5g fiber), 3g fat.

Please post pics of your meals in the other thread if you are able to. Would love to see what your meals look like because they sound absolutely divine.
