ZOODLES - cooked or raw.

But that requires special cutting 🤔🤔🤔

So chop the little buggers up instead! Cook or not. It’s all ending up in the same place.
Going light on supper today because we went out for breakfast after my oncologist appointment this morning. It was a fun Mexican place. Love the colorful decor which I’d do in my own home but fear I’d get tired of the constant dusting and tchotchkes overkill. Had a breakfast bowl with eggs, chorizo, refried beans and mucho salsas - 520 calories of happiness.

That looks like a very colorful place! Glad you had a good and tasty time!

Batch prepped garden vegs & roasted the cabbage, it was good
Let's keep at it - fresh summer produce is so awesome!

Peppercorn Pork Tenderloin and micro-baked yellow potatoes with a little butter, sour cream/Greek yogurt and chives

I know, right! I divided and froze the saute veg onion, celery, carrots (mire poix) with bell peppers to use with cooking.
Too bad the garden salad lettuce doesn't freeze well. I can't get it all eaten.
I was gifted 2 more cabbage, an eggplant and stack of spinach today.
Some poblano peppers, bell peppers. Picked up avocados - thinking street tacos tomorrow.
Neighbor has a few community garden space and grows for her church food bank. Not as pretty as the manicured at the store, but flavorful.

Anyone ever attempt to make sauerkraut? (Since i have cabbage out the ying yang here)
Recipe i'm contemplating

Someone mentioned zukes... grams used to slice zukes and tomatoes in thick round slices, then simmer - when it was juicy and soft bubbly, she added some shredded cheddar cheese. It was one of my favorite dishes they served summertime from the garden, along with fresh corn, grilled burgers. And, dark/bing cherries off the tree & chilled.
Happy 4th - to those who celebrate.

Tomorrow, as a Canadian living in the current hellscape that is the USA, I plan to wear my cartoon Robin Hood themed "Death to Tyrants" t-shirt

Having a mini bbq celebration at home. Otherwise not feeling it so much this year 😤🥺. Might wear my Canada t shirt.

I do hope that you all have a good time in the celebrations that you attend!

You can probably all tell that I edited out about 4/5 of what I had written. 🤣
I do hope that you guys have some fun.

I had baby peas cooked with onions and tomatoes. Added boiled potatoes. Added boiled zucchini. Added fresh onions.
Potatoes and onions were from the dirt outside. Quite tasty, it turns out. Potato skin surprisingly thin and soft.
Added about a half jar of Classico. The new 600ml smaller sized ones they're sure we won't notice that they have become smaller than the original 750ml ones.
Nuked the whole lot.
It's actually quite good. Loads of bunnies. Actually I'm having trouble figuring out which part of it is NOT a bunny!!!!🤣

Many of the packages of everything have downsized. Soon they will be bite sized, methinks, lol

Tonight I had a Trader Joe's Cheddar chicken sausage on a hero hot dog bun (high fiber and protein) with diced onion, mustard and sugar free BBQ sauce. Side of green salad and cucumbers with lemon vinaigrette. For desert I had half a pint of raspberries and then strawberries in Greek yogurt

In honouring what I imagine are backyard bbqs taking place south of here, I decided last night to make some potato salad out of the "they have to get hyped" backyard potatoes!😎
Not at all a bad value in terms of taste, macros, and calories (I think). Didn't have eggs handy, nor a recipe in mind 🤣, so I cut up the boiled potatoes, some handy green onions, some boiled and drained zucchini fully pre-cooked 😜, seasoned with lemon pepper, some sriracha, covered with 0% Greek yogurt at about 3/4 of the potato weight as opposed to my usual almost 1:1 ratio, and then looked at it and decided it needed some yellow mustard too!🤣
All logged into yesterday... so I have some free food for today 🤣🤣🤣, to help offset some of the oh Henry bars I'm carrying over 🤯🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
🐹 arithmetic is complicated! 😜

Called, found out my bags of mushrooms are shitake. Enjoyed with shrimp & avocado omelette this morning.
Also received button mushrooms and micro arugla in our CSA (community supported agriculture) box - added to our salad for lunch along with some of the leftover roast cabbage.
-also recovering from the festivities, enjoyed some flavored popcorn, pretzels & and a popsicle during the fireworks. So fun! Kids had a blast with the sparklers and smoky things, cough cough. Not enough wind ;)

Last night was a sirloin steak with half a baked potato and a side salad.
Tonight will likely be salmon with the other half of the potato and a side salad.
Then we have Gyudon with rice and stir fried veggies and we finish out the week with pulled pork sandwiches, roasted potatoes, and a side salad.

Last night we had chicken tacos/bowls.
I brined thin cut/pounded chicken breast in with pepper/garlic/onion plus of course the salt to make it briney. Then in patter dry, seasoned with taco seasoning lend and grilled. Juicy!
Served with guacamole I made with lime juice, red pepper flakes, garlic and kosher salt, 2% Greek Yogurt, shredded cheese, onion, lettuce, tomato, hot sauce/salsa and some crumbled quest Loaded Taco chips for crunch.
For dessert we had a luscious cheesecake from a local bakery (it's my daughter's 25th b-day Tuesday) topped with a raspberry puree I made with fresh raspberries (on sale)

Half a potato 🥔?????🤯
I had a full potato. And a large chili! At Wendy's😆
Potato 150 Cal
Sour cream 83 Cal
Chili 480
No cracker or sauce. By weight. Using USDA values
Found the potato sour cream ratio and the over sized/ over filled chili interesting. Chili was well over 100 Cal more than advertised. Not counting the crackers which I usually do eat!
Car console scale provided the drive through entertainment!🤣

The potato I had was huge. With the protein and the salad, there was no way I could eat the whole thing. I felt satisfied and happy with only half both nights. Plus, it was nice to not have to cook anything besides the salmon last night lol. Which I just seasoned and baked for like 13 minutes.
Next week I am trying out Hello Fresh to see how that goes. Getting burned out when it comes to meal planning. just not sure it will be worth the non discounted cost after the first box.

Have a friend who is single and loves Hello Fresh. But she doesn’t have a weight problem. How flexible is Hello Fresh calorie-wise?
1 -
I thought it was.... ok.
Got it for Dad (dad and me I guess) a few years back.
Calories were reasonable but not low. Definitely choices of ingredients were not always tilted how I would have tilted them and I always felt like adding bunnies.
Different strokes different folks :)😎
Obviously I can be happy enough experimenting with nuclear cookbooks and candy bars while other peops want something more conventional!🤣
I thought the hello fresh was.…conventional.
Depends also on one's energy level and activity structure.
In an environment with high level of other activity or too much stress dealing with dinner and the time involved may tilt things to what in the freezer or what was delivered.
But there could exist a situation where the self care of foraging 🤣 by walking to the neighboring stores to collect dinner ingredients is a good thing too!

I would give Hello Fresh a try because I’m fairly lazy in the kitchen. And I’ll eat most anything if I don’t have to prepare it. Perhaps it’s the result of over 40 years of being the chief family cook.
BUT hubby would definitely not be interested in pre-prepared meals. He likes cooking and even more - bargain grocery shopping.
