Food inspiration, or what's for supper?

Lentil olive oil soup today, I made it without any tomato this time around. Still good!
And of course, the 2 pound salad to accompany it. The keyboard behind it is full size for perspective lol

I feel better today, although I am sweaty and uncomfortable cause it's that sort of weather.
Tonight we're going to have enchiladas, because I can heat them up and put them on a plate and people will be happy. Lunch is going to be leftover burgers, cause that's what it always is on Fridays. I'm going to have a small taco salad because I don't like enchiladas.
I have SO MUCH baking to do. Like, nine different things. Plus cutting up meat and making the sauce to put it in so it can marinade in the freezer. Ugh.2 -
Wow Dante! Not only are you a fine chef but the dishes are beautiful.
What can I say - Alexandra is a Wonder Woman.
At my house food is getting very simple and cold. Out of the fridge and on the table quickly without cooking or even nuking. No extra warmth needed here.1 -
Alexandria I'm glad you're feeling better!
@Dante_80 that's some pretty impressively colorful salad! But I see your 2lbs and match them with yesterday's frozen vegetables and tomatoes... so you're gonna have to do better!
No plans for today yet. Still making inroads into my 53.5g / 11 "cup" pot of coffee processed with the "strong" setting!

Dinner was an Italian salad...shredded white cabbage, baby leaf spinach, rocket, cucumber, red and yellow cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, shaved fennel, yellow and orange pepper, grated carrot, queen olives, chopped walnut, dried apricot, 15 y/old balsamic and 5mls of olive oil...topped with a boiled egg, 5g shaved parmesan, parma ham, ventricina and fennel salami.
Folowed by my version of rhubarb cranachan... in a large goblet wine glass I layered stewed rhubarb, half a crumbled meringue nest, greek yoghurt and 20g cornflakes (which I toasted until they were deep golden and extra-crunchy).
560 calories for the whole meal.
Food of the gods...

Definitely food of the gods there! Mine lately has been food of the clowns 🤡 or at best demigods.1

I'm about to head out to No Frills - will check out that lasagna - I like your plan, PAV2

I have to admit that I am a TINY TINY bit jelly of Garfield's desert! Probably not jelly enough to do anything about it though! Have gone with a Swanson chicken cheese veggie thingy (660 cal) plus extra veggies for another 240 Cal)

@Dante_80 is that some type of super duper dark rye bread that you've got in that salad bowl or are you adding brownies to your salads now?!?!?!
Haha..that is rusk, and to be more exact carob rusk. Extremely tasty and also very good for you! I use this brand:
Today the menu had Greek Butter beans. I made a big batch last month and had some servings in the freezer. Very yummy!

The question is can the bread and feta quantities (and wine) that go with this be controlled, or not????🤔1

near east inspired aromatic meatballs simmered in sun drenched slow cooked tomato based Alfredo sauce and nestled on a bed of al-dente riced veggies!
(nuked a 550g bag of cauli, with the big half (400g) of a jar of classico, and shoved in it the remaining six (175g) frozen pre-cooked meatballs I had sitting open in the freezer--mushed it all up and shoveled till full for just about 700Cal !!!!
) 2 -
I have one sort of cookies needing baked, and I will do those tomorrow morning. Then we'll go to the reunion and get rid of all the cookies. (grin) I know better than to leave those around, as I WILL eat them.
The meat that I need to cut still needs to be cut, but I will pull that out of the freezer tomorrow and thaw it so I can work on it on Monday.2 -
Another attack on the freezer today. Had a green bean stew serving stowed away, and decided to also open an oregano anchovie can. They go really well together!

Those plates are just beautiful Dante. You could do a cookbook! Perhaps you’re the restaurant business?
Sadly some of your ingredients are not available here. No canned sardines with oregano, no rusk. I will be looking closer at our tiny middle eastern grocery store but they don’t do a lot of Greek food.1 -
Anchovies are just evil! 🙀 Desecrating the beautiful green beans!!!😘0
-
Anchovies are delicious! Enhancing the beautiful green beans.1

Anchovies are divine! On salad nicoise with tuna! 🍕Pizza, pasta salad, Caesar salads......1
-
Have to side with PAV on this (surprise surprise
) But looks delicious other than the little fishies 1 -
Sure yoolie.... They're great if you bury them in other things 😘
Like the 7 🐰🐇 🐇🐰🐰🐰🐰🐇🐇 of orange and yellow carrots and green beans I buried in kimchi flavored noodles!!!!👍3 -
Much as I would have liked some tasty Greek🦈 anchovies today - no such luck.
Lunch is pork tenderloin made in the air fryer, potato and zucchini with tomatoes. And 🥗. Not sure of dinner. Might be a cereal and yogurt day again.3 -
Lunch was panera 10 Vegetable Soup, into which I dumped a side of the chicken they use on salads. I was at work and needed low-cal but filling choices.
Dinner was a big ole plate of cheesy eggs (3 eggs, 3 whites, slice and a half of American cheese) and 5 slices of thick center cut bacon, plus an iced coffee with zero sugar Caramel Macchiatto creamer.
Breakfast was 2 big cups of coffee with a splash of half and half each.3 -
Breakfast was two orange spice muffins, at 6 am and 9 am, with a large mug of black tea.
Lunch will be a leftover hamburger on a bun with a small bag of chips.
Dinner will be orange pork with rice. They are also having mixed Asian vegetables, but as the mix includes broccoli, I cannot partake.3 -

And now I want some cheesy eggs for dinner too! Or maybe some of Alexandra’s orange chicken.
Left to my own devices I’ll probably haul some freezer burned tidbit out and nuke it. I think there are some 200 calorie Healthy Choice thingies in the freezer. I’ll add plenty of veggies and a salad 🥗. It’ll do the job but won’t inspire my soul!1 -
cheesy eggs sound interesting... probably better than 90 Cal skyr ice cream bars. But... fruit is good right? (plum-cots, cherries, strawberries). And skyr bars have protein, right? So.... all bases are covered?!?!?!
Dog is broken. front paw is in the air. 999 degree weather ain't helping. sunny is good though! 2 -
Skyr bars are food from the heavens!
Poor pup. Bad injury????
I'm working on a new plan....

Nuthin wrong with ice cream when it’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Skyr bars have some redeeming nutrients. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get by.2
-
You so much do. I'm a bundle of nerves because of the dog and the change in things the dog will cause and am trying to not eat too much because of it, but we'll see what I can do. Good change and chosen change is, after all, still change and it makes me anxious.4

The waiting is the worst Alexandra - when Sergeant Pickles arrives you'll soon establish a new routine. Not long now...2

Oh Pav...how broken is she?
Talking of poorly paws, are you still gimpy? Or have you fully healed now?2
