Food inspiration, or what's for supper?

It looks really good!
When we were kids, on vacation, we went to a Japanese style grill where you sit around it and they make a show of cooking the food - shrimp, vegs - reminds me of that!
Have yet to try siracha… i do like a tbsp of the bottled red sweet chili sauce on my stirfrys.

Petite sirloin, bakers taters over bed mixed veg, spiced and can diced tomatoes. Nice extra pan broth to use this week. Saved fruit for later.

Wow! Looks so good! Having kitchen finally replaced here, as well as new laminate flooring throughout …. So lots of packing stuff up, moving furniture & painting… how on earth do us humans accumulate so much stuff! 😳
For suppers, batch cooked a big pot of beef bolognaise sauce & been having that for last few days … with either avjacket spud, spaghetti, Courgetti & pasta… & lots of cheese!

avjacket spud??

a <space bar missed and hit v> jacket=baked spud=potato = <PAVlatinon> = a baked potato!👌🤪

However not sure what lots of cheese does to the calculus!
Today's masterpiece is "ALMOST" Nic's chicken-a-la-king!riced California mix (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots), cut up —how fake can you get for a pack that says "all natural"— "grilled" chicken strips (imagination of chicken breast meat, water, salt, potato starch, chicken broth, natural flavor, vinegar, onion, and garlic powders and spices), and Campbell's Thai chicken and rice soup…. see…. instant chicken-a-la-king-like!
I'm thinking I will split it into today/tomorrow. This thing CLAIMS it is only packing 2100mg of sodium but I've eaten about half and I'm seriously parched and salted out in spite of hydrating way more than normal.

I’m not too sure about those iffy “chicken” strips PAV! Of course yesterday I was eating bbq at a roadside place that should have been condemned 50 years ago. It was shared by three and delicious 😋.

That's real meat-like!🤣🤣🤣😎

”That's real meat-like!🤣🤣🤣😎”
Yup - charred, smoky and all yummy. I liked the presentation of the sides. Dumped the potato salad, beans and sauce into large styrofoam containers with spoon sticking out. This was definitely a low rent operation but they have been in business for 120 years and know their bbq. Parking lot was full and a constant stream of takeout customers too. Classic!

Easy to guess the volume of the cup since you can take one home!!!! 😄

So tonight in a spirit of penance I had a big bowl of lettuce topped with a scoop of homemade low-fat chicken salad. There may have been some low fat ice cream later…..
Vacation is over. Time to prepare for the cruise to the Canadian maritimes in September. I have to get control and work off the regain.

Some just came back from the same area! They went there for FOUR weeks instead of the more hectic two weeks we did last year… they seem quite happy! They flew there and rented a car similarly to what we did…

Who are THEY?

Instant mashed potatoes, frozen mixed veggies and 4-5 ounces of lean pork loin (air fryer). Salad 🥗
I would have made “real” potatoes but hubby cooked. He didn’t want to take the time to peel, cook and mash. When he’s hungry it has to be quick!

”Yooly? Did I drop by to make dinner or something? 🤯”
Yup could have been you in the kitchen. Definitely an okay but quick meal. But I can’t fault hubby - it’s 98F degrees out there and humid. Even with massive AC you can “feel” it if not physically then mentally.
Not one cloud ☁️ in the blazing sky. The shades stay drawn all day. Summer is when we hunker down much like northerners do in winter.There will be cold salads and more fast cooking for the next three months.

Still kickin the aches with veg soups. Todays.

@yakkystuff this has been one kick *kitten* long "cold" ???? You sure it didn't rhyme with Ovid? Reminds me of my February 20 day experience… :( but it sounds to me like you've gone on even longer than that!
Because you kids were so anti my POTATO CHIP SANDWICH… have a LOOK at THESE!!!!! 🙈

Well, in addition to the soup I made the other day, @yoolypr 's post re hubby's cooking made me crave INSTANT mashed potatoes! So I've made "three" pots of veggies as accompaniments using the highly selective criterion known as: WHAT WAS IN THE FRIDGE! Onions 145g, fresh carrots 360g, a frozen green giant restaurant parmesan green beans (provides the sauce) 360g AND 505g of brussels sprouts! split in three semi equal containers! Now I need to decide what I am going to open in terms of "accompaniment" the chicken sausages? The frozen beef slices? The vacuum packed salami… decisions decisions. I think the chicken sausages expire first but could be frozen in case of need!

Yep, those were all that was available in the cupboard/fridge - late night- for ingredients when someone put them together Pav, lol
Not ovid, but boomerang another round with cough... just can't seem to shake… so weird when it's blazing hot out.
-- all of the meats sound good, well the taters
-- watching tv while resting. Now I want candy, fireworks and chips, haha. too many ads... stupid brain.

”Lettuce chicken???)?🤔🤷🏼♀️”
Nope - I just made a simple salad and dumped cold chopped chicken on it. Chicken came pre roasted from Costco.

Shopped, too much choice. Ended up wild rice chicken soup & piece french bread for dipping.
Snackage later, mixed nuts, very chilled watermelon
