Food inspiration, or what's for supper?

🙃 yeah! I was particularly pleased with that meal. This is what I’m making for his birthday every year from here on in .2

A local sub shop had a two for the price of one deal. So hubby and I got roast beef subs (no sauce/oil) with mustard, lettuce and tomato. Brought them home and added a salad.2

Made a new batch of green soup yesterday. I’m running into problems keeping it good for a week. So I think I’m going to just eat more for four days or so and get all the green healthy vitamins I can without it turning to some kind of vinegar soup.
It is so filling that there were some days I just don’t want to eat it because something different would be lovely and after I eat this green soup there’s not a lot of room for something different.
Which I guess means it’s a perfect food!
It reminds me of how I quit smoking after almost 40 years. I used the patch and rather than focussing on not smoking the first day the first few weeks I just made sure I put on that patch (patches). I had so much nicotine I could not smoke comfortably. That really helped break the habit side of the addiction.
Maybe green soup will be my food patch.
I don’t have to focus so much on what I’m not eating (other than my obvious problem foods) … just making sure I eat my daily servings of green soup will keep me on the road to a healthy body weight.
Or.
It will turn me green.

Jeannie, if you have made it into this thread… Green Soup is basically a vegetable soup with a split green pea base and it includes whatever green vegetables you have/want to add to the mix. The only rule is it’s got to be green 🙂
My son visits every week with bags of organic green vegetables and together we create this magical elixir as the way back to good health 🙂2 -
You mean my soup could be green instead of yellow?!?!?!?
Oh!
Maybe we shouldn't talk about the yellow soup!
Or yellow snow!
Especially yellow snow!

Lemon snow 😁😝2

Snow!!! I have dreams about cold, frozen snow.... whether white, yellow, green... soup weather seems so far away.
I do make a mean green split pea soup but it’s not vegetarian. I think most of my soups are not vegetarian. Hubby is a major carnivore.2 -
Other than the crazy soupy humidity on the day of soup cooking - the soup works for summer because I'm eating it cold
it is a savoury green pudding most mornings 2 -
there is something called green goddess somewhere! Are you her??!?!

Guess what I’m having for supper 😝2

What to eat on a 109F(43C) day? I’m staying indoors with the comfort of AC but somehow my body knows it’s ridiculously HOT 🥵. So today it’s tuna salad on a bed of lettuce. Maybe some yogurt and cereal 🥣 for dinner.
It’s the same weather forecast with no rain for at least the next fourteen days. I’m going to stock up on some frozen Lean Cuisines because ain’t nobody cooking anything in the kitchen!2 -
I had some premade Moroccan stewed beef with saffron rice and a piece of garlic naan. That was pretty good. I tried waiting until evening to eat because I'd been having some issues with eating in the middle of the day. Waiting seems to have worked. I had my food and cleaned up the kitchen, fed the dogs and took them out, and am contemplating making something sweet to have after my single meal a day.
I had made the Morocccan beef in a slow cooker and put it into smaller casseroles to freeze, and all I had to do was to put the casserole dish in the warming box this morning and it was ready when I was ready for it. That's about the right pace in hot muggy weather.3 -
Good to have you back Alexandra! Your order makes my central nervous system feel good 🙂3
-
Order makes me feel calm and at peace and gives me the ability to deal with everything. Fortunately I know this about myself and can manifest it.2

Really FAR from terrible for the calories.
I had a sweet and sour lean cuisine (traces of chickenoid in sauce with rice). AND a 340g bag of grocery store riced cauliflower.
Dumped cauli-rice https://www.compliments.ca/en/products/riced-cauliflower-sesame-ginger-340-g/ first in a glass container.
Then a lean cuisine sweat and sour rice with traces of chickenoid.
nuked covered in 1200ish nuker for 8.25 minutes. Stir/shake/mix/cover wait/scarf down over two meals since I was supposed to be eating "light".2 -
I got to do donut Friday!!!
So Friday mornings I like to get a donut from a local shop and then a tea from another shop as a sort of "you survived the week" treat. Since I am feeling better, I got to do it today. I had a strawberry glazed donut and a iced red tea latte with oat milk and cane sugar.

Hope the donut and sweet tea aren’t too much for your sensitive tummy?1

A donut and a tea latte would cure just about anything wrong with me. 😜2

Tonight's meal was a hamburger and Fritos and a Mississippi Mud brownie. (Still tweaking the recipe, but highly edible nonetheless.)
And as always, I got sick afterwards. I really hope my body stops doing these insulin dumps when I eat because it makes me sick. It happens if I eat low or no carb, too, by the way. Doesn't seem to matter what I eat, I dump, and feel rotten afterwards.2 -
Alexandra- hope you’re seeing a doctor about the insulin dumping. It sure doesn’t seem right that you’re making a fabulous meal and feeling sick afterwards.1

Agree with yoolie.... hope you can sort out as to what's happening.0

Went to the village yesterday, and took some family for a quick Ouzo in a tavern nearby.
It's been a while.
Now a weekend of salads to compensate...

OMG Dante- looking at those photos takes me on a glorious visual vacation. If only my “village” even faintly resembled yours! I’m am so envious. Do you have any idea how fortunate you are?
The food is spectacular. Certainly worth a weekend of salads. And I’ll bet your penitent salads will be just as beautiful. Perhaps a little more ouzo on the side?3 -
Extraordinary images Dante! The quality of light there is just so beautiful!!!2
-
I’m agreeing with Yooly, Alexandra. Seems like a situation where seeing a doctor might be in order?
I was going to suggest maybe trying to have several smaller meals rather than a big one but then realized that you said you moved to a single meal as the way to try and help with the situation.
🙁3 -
Dante this is awesome 😎
Alexandra I hope has coverage and can go get checked out 🤔😬1 -
Still struggling to eat much. Just not that hungry. Today I had 2 chicken tenders (not very big) and half a slice of Texas toast for lunch. Dinner was some rice, teriyaki chicken, broccoli, carrots, and a couple potstickers. Finally getting some veggies back in which hopefully will help everything get back to normal.2
