Oh Connie
Wasn't my idea!
I told dad: "I'll check with the inter-webz" If there'z recipes you're not pulling my leg and you're on!
Ms Google came up with Fillipino, Asian, French, and at least a couple from New Zealand and the Oz recipes in the first page of results! So I had to concede the legit-ness of the combination... and proceed to producing an example!

Mr. Dad came up with the idea of "Mussels Omelette", probably because the bag of mussels was front and center in the freezer the past few weeks!
Surprised me by being far from terrible!
I might just give this a try - replace the mussels with some sriracha and it could be pretty darned fine
Hope your trip is going well.1 -

25g of sriracha were eaten on the side
I actually think it would also work with shrimp/prawns, or clams!
The "trip" part is a bit of a misnomer. It looks as if in the near term I will be living in two provinces, possibly simultaneously, as dad is not necessarily handling things quite as well as he believes he is, while being very inventive and adamant as to why various solutions I suggest are utterly unfeasible and just off the wall crazy talk! 4 -
Seafood in an omelette....Erm .....!
Found an omlette maker in Recycle shop the other day! Was £2 ... fab value and my omelettes are small and cute, and no longer in bits, unrecognisable, all over the plate!3 -
Seafood is traditionally an omelet option. Not one I'd usually go for, but eh, it can totally be a thing.
We're having Breakfast For Dinner tonight which will be a nice change of pace. Probably waffles and sausages.4 -
^^ Love a good banger! Pork and leek a current favourite!4

Has anybody tried the meal kits from Marley Spoon/Martha Stewart? They've got lots of healthy choices each week and it's reasonably priced, zero food waste. Tonight I'll be having honey-Dijon glazed steak with roasted green beans and potatoes, generous dinner comes in at 630 calories. Check them out, folks, this plan has really been helpful on my journey.2

Oh my... someone's firing on all "plan making" cylinders....
Had left him some individually frozen packs of braised lamb shanks to thaw, heat and eat.
The original shanks averaged (bone included) a few grams less than 1lb each. And they're packed with their eyeballed share of carrots/onions/garlic and sauce from the pan.
Two! of them are thawing on the rapid thaw metal grate and someone is chasing me around the house muttering Greek potatoes Greek potatoes.
I'm trying to explain the concept of calories and trade offs 🥺 Not making much headway!
Dinner looks like Lamb Shanks and Greek potatoes for some reason! 🤷🏻♂️3 -
Daughter is actually making the lasagna she was supposed to make Friday....now I am not really in the mood for all the carbs but there is a play off hockey game on and eating it will be easier than cooking!....2

Checked freezer - loads of chicken thighs! Chicken it is tonight! Southern style - baked not fried and if cooked a bit longer - perhaps than should be - gets nice & crispy! Not burnt ( honest 🥴)
With a Spud salad and sticking in some pickled cornichons and mint leaves and a salad!
Wanted to do arhubarb crumble for pud, but rhubarb is still not ripe here! Might trough some ice cream... for a change!2 -
Tonight is burgers and corn on the cob.
Burgers will be made out of grass fed lean ground beef and topped with sharp cheddar, sauteed onions, greens, a slice of tomato, and mustard.
For the rest of the week:
Breakfasts: Smoothies (Icelandic yogurt, banana, strawberries, mango, spinach, and almond milk if needed)
Lunch: Rice bowls with sauteed veggies and egg
Dinners: Teriyaki salmon with asparagus and avocado
Shrimp Pad Thai with broccoli3 -
1/3 of the leftover greek potatoes, cubed (~680 Cal)... 4 chicken sausages "stuffed with asiago and kale" (~600 Cal).... 4 extra large eggs (~320 Cal)... makes two generous ~800 Cal dinners... I am thinking!

No idea....YET! Probably whatever leftovers I find in the fridge....lots of family activity this weekend = leftovers & no gumption today.3

We had an early dinner because I wanted to be out of the kitchen before daughter started fixing her family’s dinner!....John and I had huge salads with Feta and Lite Blue Cheese dressing....so good!....followed by Vigo yellow rice prepared with no oil but added diced green and yellow peppers and diced onions...topped it with diced Tyson pre cooked griilled chicken and black beans...garnished with parsley....great flavors!4
-
Chicken breasts and salad here. I'm on a sugar kick today, so lots of snacks throughout the day. Ice cream. Mmmm.3

rutabaga, brussel sprouts, sweet potato wedges, scrambled eggs and a veggie sausage - with a liberal sprinkle of sriracha. Nothing touching, @conniewilkins56

Finally boiled some eggs for my usual avo-egg toast breakfasts again this week. Supplementing with my new fav pb yogurt dip and an apple.
No idea what lunch will be. Tuna? Probably tuna.
We took out a big pork tenderloin to thaw, so we'll throw that on the smoker tonight. Will probably do it with green beans, maybe some roasted potatoes, and maybe some home-canned spiced peaches for dessert.5 -
Husband is having Italian sausages ( yum ) but I am having low carb 45 calorie tortillas with shredded mozzerella,fat free refried beans, black beans, and salsa!....plus my huge salad!....got to get that fiber in!1

Vegetable lentil soup - with 125g of cottage cheese for a bit more protein! I actually love this combo 3
