Not sure everyone knows, but I'm currently undergoing serious house renovations due to a storm which took place on Aug. 4th while I was out of town attending my Sister-in-law's funeral. This storm was followed last weekend by Hurricane Dorian. Thanks to the wonderful company that is doing my repairs and their quick patchwork to protect me until my scheduled repairs began on the 10th, Dorian wasn't too nasty to me! HOWEVER, all this being said, I'm basically living in a third of my home and cannot get to my kitchen without serious work. SO, this leads to the Week 3 Group Challenge...Kitchen Creations and Restaurant Sensations.
I'd like each of you to Name your favorite quick dinner meal, list the recipe if possible, including sides and drinks. Then, if you can't cook for whatever reason, what's your restaurant go-to meal, which is both delicious, nutritious and keeps you on track for your weight loss goals!! If you want extra credit, please include dessert. Pictures are nice, but make sure you include the recipes.
This will help all of us to make a new list of recipes, keep us inspired and MAKE ME FREAKIN JEALOUS, since I can't get to my kitchen!
Enjoy!!

My courgette soup is super quick and cooks in 15- 20 mins.
1. Cube 2 baked potatoe size - boil water - just cover the potatoes and bring to boil. ADD stock cube. Then Cover and cook 5 mins
2. Chop 1kg courgette whist potatoes cooking.
3. Stir and add courgette - no need to add water - steam with lid 5 mins - chop spring onions
4. Stir - add chopped spring onions - steam with lid 5 mins
5. Turn off add 100g mature pre grated cheese and sprinkle of nutmeg
6. Reserve 3 ladles - blitz - add reserved unblitz potatoe and courgette. FINISHED in 15 mins. Have with buttered toast.
Ingredients

1kg courgettes
Bunch of spring onions
100g grated cheese
Nutmeg.if desired
2 stock cubes

@apple852hk I had to look up what courgettes were! Lol! The soup sounds fantastic!
My quick go-to meal is a one sheet pan meal.
Cover a sheet pan with foil. Season chicken quarters with olive oil and whatever seasoning you like. Then cut up whatever vegetables you have fresh and season them. Put all in sheet pan and roast till chicken is done.

When we're eating out, I have two go-tos when it's me choosing: 1, a Zaxby's Buffaloe Bleu salad or at our fave Mexican restaurant, a Northern Traditional Taco salad with chicken - no flour shell, very little cheese. At home, my go-to is steamed green beans and grilled meat or boiled shrimp. On the less boring side, I made stuffed peppers tonight from the Diabetic 4 Ingredient cookbook (mods, of course). 3 colored peppers cut in half lengthwise and seeded, 1/2 Vidalia onion, 1 egg, 1/4 cup Pizza Blend cheese (it's what I had, any would be fine), 1/4 cup salsa, 1 pound 85/15 ground beef. Mix all of the items, starting with onion, well - season to liking (I avoid salt). Evenly stuff the peppers and cover with a half cup of salsa with a little water in it to loosen it up. Cover and bake at 350 for 1 hour, uncover and divide 1/4 cup cheese on each pepper and pop back in for a few minutes to melt. This was about 250 cals per each pepper half when I created it in my MFP recipes. Dang tasty! Hoping the pic comes out well! =>

Sunday check in
Calories - under. I’m over on carbs but I cannot decide if I care about that. It isn’t much but I tend to really fret over carbs.
Exercise - 2 walks today totaling about 12,000 steps. One walk was on the beach which is so de-stressing and wonderful.
Goal for tomorrow is to really watch what I eat at work and get up and move.0 -
Hello. I've been upping my walking this week. I try to walk with purpose, so this weekend I went to a nearby village to see their scarecrow festival!
I think that's why today I did my weigh-in and I'm down again.
Previous 155lbs
Today 154lbs
That's 11 stone on the nose!3 -
Goals for Monday;
1. No workout today. I worked out both days on the weekend and my plantar fasciitis is acting up. I have a physio appointment this week and am hoping they can help me get some relief. Anyone else have plantar fasciitis? It’s kind of frustrating - the workouts I want to do I can’t because it hurts my foot so I’m left with less strenuous workouts. I’d like to walk at lunch - that’s my goal.
2. Drink a tonne of water
I stayed the same weight over the weekend so if I follow my plan I’m hoping for a loss this week!0 -

I actually had a very large heel bone spur. It was causing a lot of ongoing pain and the doctor finally did a plantar fasciotomy in December of 2018. I traded one form of pain for another. Now I have a lot of pain of the top of my foot. Be careful with the treatments! I hope you feel better soon!0 -
Weekly weigh in
Last week: 130.4
This week: 136.8
Exercise walking on beach. My calves are so sore from about 5 hours of walking that I'm limping!
Calories way over
Had a great weekend at a wedding out-of-town. The scale's way up, I ate bad but not 7lbs worth of bad! Hoping it's water weight for the most part.4 -

Sheet pan dinners are my favorite go-to. This week I'm making sliced chicken sausages with peppers, onions, carrots, and zucchini. I go on Pinterest and type in sheet pan dinners and find a ton of great ideas!

Yeah man, it's a drag. Between PF and a second digit toe that gets roughed up when walking with vigor, it's cramping my style. Big help for the PF for me was never going barefoot, even in the house. Some support and not too much flex in any shoe. Also, calf stretching several times a day - I stretch both directions. Also took some nsaids for a few weeks, per podiatrist. It took about a month and now is mostly not a problem. The toe, on the other hand (haha), is not good - pretty sure the toe nail will fall out at some point. If anyone has ideas, I'm all ears.0 -
I've stepped on the scale a couple times this week and I'm still stuck. It's starting to get discouraging bc I've been stuck. I feel better. My clothing fits better. People have noticed. But the dang scale Will. Not. Move.
Plateaus suck. Official weigh-in tomorrow afternoon when I wake up.1 -
@Wishusdonna
I’m sorry you had to go through all of that but am so happy you’re doing better.
I second that! I’ve been away myself so I was sorry to hear about what you are going through with Eric! I am so pleased you are recovering well.1 -
