    We had jambalaya tonight. Just a box mix that I bulk up heavily with turkey smoked sausage, cooked chicken and lots of peppers/onions.

    Ah jambalaya! I’ve been obsessed with Cajun/creole food since our trip to New Orleans in November. So much flavor….

    All the numbers are just too much for me right now lol.

    Tonight I am making some grilled chicken breasts, stuffing, and sweet carrots. Simple and tasty.

    Later this week I am making a crockpot beef stroganoff with lots of mushrooms and a side of broccoli.

    Oh my goodness! St. Patrick :) I will eat green soup in your honour.

    For me the veggies help a lot. But I swear my brain hamsters sometimes want to reject them outright because they want to eat what they want to eat and if I fill up on veggies the tummy will not so easily accomodate cake/bread and other assorted treats.

    Well: I had been munching on terry chocolate orange, so low calories left.

    Nuked 756g compliments vegetables for soup. Initially was going to dump out the noodles and use the flavoring from some ho ya Tom yum noodle bowls (Thai chef tastes better) but decided to gamble and use my "extra broth to go" order of hot and sour seafood soup from the pho place that was sitting all sealed up at the back of the fridge.

    Wow tasty and salty. Nuked extra for food safety 😛 heart rate actually went up while eating.... which is probably not good 💩😡

    (From last night)

    Wonky day, did not get soup made, cleared some leftovers, added peanuts and a tangelo for enough.

    sale of the week - hothouse english cukes… so big, chunky salads… lunch was a lot of 'keep on chewing!' lol

    — had to scale back on the amount desired of meats, cheese & sourdough bread & butter. those things add up fast!! whereas a huge cuke 30 cals? sometimes just does not feel fair.

    also picked up ground turkey… not sure how I'll use, but glad for some variety, was down to a couple chickens. Maybe some meatballs.

    check out "specs" (calories, proteins, etc) on 0% greek yogurt… in which cucumbers can be dipped, or added…. savoury "tzatziki"…. with garlic possibly added :) Cold cuts have issues… but check out calories on ham and turkey cold cuts. Also broiled without skin actual birds and/or porc cuts such as tenderloin, and, of course, less fatty fish and shellfish… all pretty low cal. Hmmm…. greek yogurt might not work in quantity or as well with super low carbohydrate restrictions.

    Tzatziki! Mmmmm… Sounds like summer :)
