Food inspiration, or what's for supper?

I actually love semantics
Yeah, this is the super long simmered stuff with loads of gelatin. I've made it at home and when you're done cooking it, the bones are soft. This was commercial stuff, some random organic stuff I'd picked up at Walmart. Normally I just use bouillon when I make this soup, but I had like, 1oz of chicken left to throw in it so I used the bone broth to up the protein.0 -
Also, dinner tonight. Chicken fajita bowl:
Brined, seasoned grilled chicken breast (I was gonna do thighs but the breasts were on sale for $2.24/lb)
Sauted red and orange pepper plus onions
Little guacamole
Fage 2% yogurt in place of sour cream
Cabot lite cheddar
Salsa
Tomorrow I'm going to make a cottage cheese fajita bowl with the leftovers. Basically all those components, minus the sour cream (and maybe guacamole, haven't decided yet) plus 1/2 cup cottage cheese, all heated up together and melty.0 -
Gulp. I will have to be edumacated (sic) and read up on stock vs broth. I mean my bone broth comes from a powder that says knorr or magi (by Knorr) or maybe bovril 🤯😵💫 but on rare occasions I've let a pot full of "stuff"/carcass leftovers simmer for hours and yes those ones end up with collagen!1

Okay, so I made the cottage cheese fajita bowl instead and it was bomb.
Little over 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, blended with 3tsp taco hot sauce. 1oz reduced fat Mexican blend shredded cheese. The peppers and onions and between 3-4oz cooked chicken breast (which I brained and grilled and it came out super juicy). It was soooo good.1 -
cottage cheese... note: try again (again)

Lunch in Santa Fe. Hubby had the giant spicy pork burrito Christmas style -red & green salsas. 🌶️ I had the baked potato with chopped bbq rib meat. Did a dab or two of sour cream. No butter balls. Delicious but can’t guess the calories! 🫣0 -

Chicken burrito with red and green salsa. Indian fry bread. Posole. Viola’s restaurant in Los Alamos- it’s been here forever.2 -
Yum2

I did a take on the Chickfila Hashbrown breakfast bowl. Just bare Chicken breast chunks (lightly breaded), half serving of mini tater tots, both of those done in the air fryer, the one egg and some egg whites scrambled and shredded cheddar thrown over the top at the end to get melty2

Had a nice sensible grilled chicken salad for dinner. Low cal dressing. Kind of makes up for the lunch time burrito? Two more days in New Mexico…..1
-
Dug into the supermarket ham I bought a few days ago (about 1/3 of it). Added a bag of carrots and peas. And instant mashed potatoes. About 860 Cal. Had to do stupid pet tricks to reduce salt and sugar in the ham. Still having a salt hit🤯🤷♂️1
-
Nothing special! Rest of ham (224g), 300g mixed veg (carrot,corn, peas, gr beans), 75g white onions, 36.2g old cheddar, 7g lemon pepper, 219g eggs... all nuked in a couple of containers1

Had another grilled chicken salad for dinner. Hubby had a pork meatball sandwich with fries.

Indian Pueblo Kitchen in Albuquerque. Bison cabbage stew with fry bread. 👅

Wouldn't it be fun if we could jet each other such delishishnesses in, er, takeout bags?
Looks so good yooly2 -
Well the fun is over early tomorrow morning when we fly home. Baggies of pretzels and black coffee on tomorrow’s menu. Maybe a can of tuna or soup at home cause the fridge is empty. Feast or famine1
-
We went for Mexican (my youngest is home for the weekend). Ate the innards of half a steak fajita quesadilla (so no tortilla) with a little guac, sour cream and Pico. Had a handful of tortilla chips with Queso dip.2
-
Not sure if the pretzels are a like or a hug! Same for the insides only though it's something I've done myself often--but mainly because I like the insides more than the base or the wrapping!
Anyway. Blue menu butter chicken (370Cal) the rice went into the green giant parmesan green beans (250). So lunch done. On deck for dinner Marie's cheesey chicken cauli rice (660) with an extra 500g of cauli rice (another couple of hundred).... so that's a base of 1500Cal of semi healthy items for the day.... plus the random extras (17.7g dark chocolate caramel was 80 Cal🙃)1 -
Sadly, Blue Menu is only a Canadian thing. Most “healthy choice” brands here tend to be poor quality or just plain nasty. 🤢1
-
Well! I wouldn't go as far as to call blue menu items universally high quality! But specific items? For sure. A couple of their salad dressings and sauces and frozen entrés (their burgers and frozen meatballs for example) and the butter chicken sauce for sure. Not zero cal. But definitely lower than standard and AS tasty (as the non blue menu equally frozen super market prepared items)🤔1
-
I had soup. 3oz precooked chicken, 3oz mushrooms, garlic and ginger, chicken bouillon and water. When that had simmered, I added 1 pack egg white noodles, soy sauce and scallions. Yum. Big super filling bowl of soup.2

Son found this guy’s YouTube site. This is not fine dining. More a single guy commando food control approach. Interesting. Might try a few “recipes” especially on busy/lazy days.

Snaggled that Yooly, passed it along...
Hubby made a triple layered enchilada dish (an idea he stumbled across on the net and wanted to try.)
Layered street taco sized corn tortillas, torn rotisserie chicken, shred cheese with enchilada sauce (store bought sauce was very salty relative to our home prepared foods.)
In the 8" pan, used 12 of the small street tortillas (3=100cals), so 1/4 of the pan is easily calced/tracked here. Made 4 servings. 1 serving came in at 455cals, 26g carbs, 21g fat, 39g protein, salt was high at 933.

Looks like a winner enchilada casserole. I’ve done variations with low carb tortillas, salsas instead of the canned sauce and low fat cheese. Or tortillas, low fat refried beans and salsas topped with avocado after baking - no cheese. Ground turkey precooked instead of chicken?
So many possibilities!1 -
Beef stew today. It’s fall and time for colder weather foods. The actual temperature outside be damned!2
-
Yesterday I had a birria taco (love places that do it a la carte) and some tortilla chips with Queso that had Pico De Gallo and green onions topping it. So good.
Tonight will be chicken/mushroom Alfredo where I use egg white noodles and make my sauce with a blended cottage cheese base. Tasty.2 -
Three full sized portions. Each in an easy to microwave glasslock! About 722 Cal and 1000g per "portion"!
Top secret mishmash of ingredients is "classified" to protect the guilty! However... cupboard and freezer delectables are all featured!

cauliflower, broccoli, and carrot rice; prev frozen sweet potato cubes; farmer's sausage; secret combination of chunky soup, no salt stock, spaghetti sauce jar possibly but I am not admitting to anything here; and some heat (sriracha).1
