Food inspiration, or what's for supper?

tasty bite bombay potatoes I'm sure you could do it WAY better and cheaper on your own but that's what it was. picked it up at walmart though I had first seen the brand at choices years ago.
Problem is those times when there is not enough foresight/time to make it way better and cheaper! These are priced well. I love the idea of a bag of frozen rabbits livened up with a pouch of Tasty Bite's curry.
Walmart here I come

Hey Sparky! If you're at WallyMarty... the Askoka "PAV Bhaji" is, for me, one of the better price/performance items in the "indian" section in terms of taste, calories, and fill-factor.
Apparently PAV is bread that you eat with the Bhaji (not included) and has ***no relation** to me... but I eat the Bhaji WITHOUT bread... and frankly I "enhance" it with frozen bunnies as per your description above.
Start to finish total time is time for bunnies to be unfrozen + 2 minutes once you "add the sauce"
And since it is a mix of cauli, potato, etc, it is quite filling for the 120/150g calories (so about 240 per pouch). Ashoka is less than other brands of bhaji both in price and in "oil"/"butter" so it DOES compute that they are less calories. Some other brands are up to 160/150g so about 320 for THEIR pouch though shrinkflation means many brands are reducing to 280g from 300g for their pouches.1 -
Morning!
Yet another bad night’s sleep… maybe I only need 4 hours per night! Working on the sleep hygeine!
Supper last night was a big chunk of a butternut squash, well roasted, alongside some really strong, local blue cheese, probably overpriced from an Artisan deli…The lot came in at just under 500 kcals plus kale, french beans, carrots & peas & I was stuffed!
Tonight’s effort will be lamb kebabs marinated in some rosemary, lemon & chilli. There a cauli that is starting to “turn” in fridge - gonna rice it. Calorie for lamb look to be around 250 cals.1 -
How u rice cauli?🤔 can it be done frozen0
-
There is your stinky blue cheese, PAV! I've riced cauliflower with a grater - no frozen though....maybe it would work if your finger tips could stand it?2
-
I rice it in a blender. Not too much & then squeeze out any moisture via a tea toweI before dry frying .,, don’ think I have ever had frozen cauli before…

Frozen cauli is an experience my tea!2
-
Frozen veg is not really my thing … usually never get to the frozen part of the supermarket, except for peas! Too many temptations - ice cream & pizza….3
-
Well... I admit to being tempted by the various varieties of "flavoured" cauliflower rice; but, I've not really considered the frozen VEGETABLE aisle to be a high source of temptation
True... I precautionarily avoid... or, now that I think about it, ok maybe I don't quite, though I do tend to lose the fight if I linger too long.2 -
I’ve found the flavored cauliflower rice not worth the money2

Big excitement this week!!!

Slept til 2:30.
More butterscotch pudding, but for dinner I am going to cook up this new product I got "Noodle revolutio" Ramen noodles (low carb made with egg whites, so protein, we'll see) in a quick stir fry with like 1/2tsp sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, maybe gingerband 2 oz of pre-cooked chicken pieces from Costco4 -

Good news! The noodles, though a little soft, were great.4 -
These noodles sound interesting!!! Going to see if I can find them online. Thank you

I bought them on amazon (in the US). They were 22.99$/6 pack. So pricey, but gives me options.2 -
Salmon, sweet potato with a sort of tabouli - made with cous cous, pomegranette & tomatoes… lovely!
Unhealthy lunch - sausage roll & made some cheese & chive scones ….🙃🙄🥴2 -
What salmon are you using ms tea? And in what form? Like was it grilled it baked and these were sides, or some sort of "interesting" salad with smoked or canned or????🤔 If these scones were freshly made I may start wanting to move to your place though I suspect Bella's might be healthier long term for my waistline!!!!😎1

Fresh salmon, Sweet potato, air- fryed, was a side - with some parmesan on top. Tabouli also side, made with cous cous - as had no quinoa, with chopped tomatoes & parsley. Some asparagus tips too About 600 kcals. Filling!!
Cheese scone - yes about - 350 cals! I have put the rest in the Freezer!
Sausage roll was bought - no forethought about lunch 🙄🥴2 -
Observation of the day: the lemon pudding thickens up better than the butterscotch. I use identical amounts of milk (per instructions) and identical amounts of protein powder. The lemon pudding is what I ciuld consider proper thickness, the butterscotch about 25% less so, I'd estimate. Still thickened, but not as much.
Supper tonight is brined, grilled center cut pork chops, idahoan Au Gratin potatoes and roasted broccoli.4 -
Wow Nic! Happy to see you’re tolerating food again. Hope this time it sticks.1

Can't find sugar free instant lemon pudding. Ms Nic has thrown me for a loop.
Closest is jello pie filling (comes without the sugar/as much sugar built in but requires like 3 egg yolks and COOKING to work!!!!!)
Opened up a can of ED Smith SUGARED pie filling (what a nightmare to log when they talk ml and it is NOT 1ml per 1g). something insane like 120 Cal per 83ml.
But the 540ml can had 625g of contents. Could have been overfill. Or not. Not enough samples.
Assuming that the can was "correct", it comes to 6.5 servings per can. or 780Cal or 125 Cal per 100g. Which is "generally" close enough to a Duncan Hines Lemon Cream pie filling can i found at 132 Cal per 100g.
So far was used with skyr... making lemon skyr... but it seems like a suboptimal use...
we shall see. have a bit of a headache. too much *kittening* around with the glasses prescription.2 -
My favorite pie growing up was definitely lemon meringue, made with what is now the Dr. Oetker box mix. I love the lemon curd it makes, and we always doubled the meringue.
Can't find that brand/mix here so when we go to visit my family or they come to visit us, we aquire.
I also love the jarred lemon curd on toast etc... Sensing a theme.2 -
Shirif by dr Oetker. one egg cooking required. contains the sugar.. hence moved to the jello.... which contains modified tapioca ! Not attempted.
The can? of course it contains even more sugar!!!😂
Should have found some lemon zest to add to the yogurt plus sucralose and called it a day!!!0 -
Green giant restaurant sides veggies with sauce and rice/quinoa mixes. About 220Cal each advertised. Tried two both a bit overfilled. $s it's to hide in bed and cry unless 50% off sale or something.
Taste wise and bunnies wise and filling for calories wise actually they were quite good both of them. One harvest veg red brown rice quinoa garlic sauce. Other spinach rice quinoa parmesan.
Don't even think they have much scope for extra Bunnie stuffing enhancement as they weren't overly sauced. Maybe 80-120g of extra veg could fit in at an eye ball? If still on sale may get more to try!0 -
Now you have me thinking about this, PAV.
That sugar free instand pudding is on Amazon - but you have to buy a six pack (4.25 per pack - not bad) - but I don't think you can bake it to make a lemon meringue pie.
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00JD8X5KM/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A2TXWOT01VMVIE&psc=10 -
BUT - you could bake the meringue separately on parchment paper and place it on the "pie" once it is cool!!!!!!

Laurie!!!!!!?????
You're crushing my soul!!!!! You're willing to pay more than $1.99 for an instant pudding? That's the level where I hold my nose and buy one at a time in a delaying action till I can find a sale!!!!🤯 Or is it because these are "and pie"?...
I'm going to hide in my room now to recover!!!!🤯
But meringue cookies sound like a thing to try1
