    Hm

    I meant this to be in the Discussions section. I'm not sure how it ended up in the Announcements section, or how I can move it to the correct section? 🤔

    Okey doke, I made a 'test' thread in the Discussions section - it appears that if you check off the "Announcements" box, the thread ends up here, in Announcements. I can't seem to see a way to delete a thread, so I suppose I'll just let it ride for October, see how it goes :). I was able to move the 'test' thread to Discussions, by 'Dismissing' the thread, but I'm certain, what effect, if any, these things have for how the threads appear to others, so .... 🤷‍♀️ lol

    I think if you go back to this original post and edit it and unchecked the announcement that might work.

    This was the first smoothie with a protein powder in it. We ate our Oui Yogurt pots for today for afternoon snack, so we needed something else to use for dinner ;-).

    We shared a Club Supreme from Jersey Mike's, along with the Smoothie, for dinner. I wonder if I'll ever have a smoothie for breakfast, instead of dinner? 🤔 🤣

    Cheers!

    Good morning everyone 🌴🌴🛺
    @SafariGalNYC
    Thanks for thinking of me
    That pomegranate really makes a nice shake.
    Don’t forget the Cacao nibs 😁💪🌴🌴

    @mkksemail
    The Avocado toast sounds great.
    I haven’t been eating bread
    But I believe and hear there are some healthy brands out there
    Some with lots of fiber.
    Going shopping tomorrow for some and greens I can freeze.

    @dannytrees1 - mmmmm it IS so good! I didn't even know I liked avocado, and I really love this avocado toast, lol. I hope you give it a try (I just fry the tomatoes and the eggs in the same pan - tomatoes in first so they really cook well).

    But - greens you can freeze! That's genius! Have you done that before? Does it work fine?

    Cheers!

    Thursday Greens !

    It's going to be Avocado (probably toast) for the next several days. I bought 6 of them several days ago, and they're all turning ripe at the same time. Avocados do seem to have a very tight "perfectly ripe eat them now!" window 😜). Hope we can eat them before they turn bad! lol

    We also had roasted Brussel sprouts, and Maryland style crab cakes for dinner, along with a black asian plum, and a Oui yogurt pot.

    My favorite way to eat veggies are cooked - a lot, lol! Broiled, Grilled, Roasted, and Charred, give me that any day 🤣. Hubby said the Brussel sprouts were really good, they tasted like french fries! 🤣 (I sauteed them in a pan first, to coat with olive oil, then sprinkled with garlic salt. After they browned on one side, I put a small baking sheet over the pan, flipped the sprouts so the uncooked side ended up face down, sprinkled with more olive oil, and more garlic salt, then baked them at 450F for about 15 minutes, followed by 16 mins more baking at 400F, while the crab cakes cooked. They were crunchy! 🤣)

    Cheers,
    mk :)

    That quiche looks amazing!

    Salad for lunch, not very exciting as I didn't have many veg in the house for it

    For tea: Chicken served with beetroot, green beans and saute potatoes

    And a baked apple with custard for dessert (I went for a run today so I earned those extra calories 😄)
