What do your meals look like (show me pictures)....

No work due to the stat holiday over the weekend so the day was spent cooking. Roasted squash, carrot, and pumpkin soup:



And mushroom bourguignon with mashed potatoes



I’m enjoying the transition into autumn foods

Haven't had time to post, just wanna say I'm drooling over all your pictures... steaks, veggies, soup, mushrooms... all of it!

Italian lentil & mushroom soup with added olive oil to meet my macros. This was decent, but not the nirvana I was promised I'm also now noticing that they cheated on the photo for the recipe: there's nothing green mentioned for garnish!

Chicken with green sauce and smoked mozzarella (adapted from a portobello mushroom recipe by Rachael Ray... I don't like portobellos) with sautéed zucchini.

This was quite delicious, but I made the mistake of adding the parmesano reggiano to the other "green sauce" ingredients before blending, which gave the sauce a chalky mouth feel. That's why we read the instructions instead of just going through the ingredients and winging it, lol

Sauteed kilbasa, sweet peppers, & onion in the Instant Pot.
Added some broth, salt & pepper.
Threw in a bunch of cabbage slices.
When it was done, I topped it with a little butter & sour cream, and sprinkled everything bagel seasoning on it.

Snack: defrosted raspberries plus pistachios and pecans, with a dollop of sour cream and a drizzle of walnut oil 🐽 This is honestly so much better than any ice cream sundae I've ever eaten in my life. Removing all that sugar from my diet allows me to actually appreciate the natural sweetness of nuts, dairy, and of course fruit.

Leftovers mostly. Waldorf salad from a few nights ago stretched with store bought pickled beets and onions, salt beef warmed up in the microwave. Microwave and air fryer baked potato. Microwave carrots finished with butter and maple syrup on the hob. Butter for the potatoes.

Topside cooked sous vide and browned in the air fryer. Sous vide is a dependable way to do cheap roasts which easily get tough (I think this is eye of round in the US). Sauteed snow peas (for crunch) stretched with frozen peas (for sweetness). Jacket potato microwaved for 5 minutes and crisped for 15 minutes in the air fryer. If you do the sous vide step in advance and toss a bunch of roasts in the freezer, this takes 20 minutes to put together on a week night.

Rio Grande spice rub strip steaks by Rachael Ray. I'm not big on spicy food, but this had just the right kick and was a nice change of pace. I used Aleppo pepper instead of cayenne, and added a salad of tomato, avocado, roasted corn, cilantro, and lime juice plus a little bit of the spice rub blend.

Air fried home grown beets with arugula, red onion, goat cheese, pecan praline, and 2 tablespoons of skinny girls, balsamic vinaigrette

Air fried salmon with Asian pear, salsa and brussels sprouts

Mission figs with Greek yogurt, toasted almonds, and an agave drizzle.

Hubby met up with a mate for dinner so I was on my own. Was originally planning to make pho with leftover roast beef but that was too much trouble cooking for myself. Fake philly cheese steak made with the leftover roast beef.

Yesterday I was just so not hungry, I had leftover kilbasa & cabbage from the night before and that's it (other than coffee w/cream). I even had to add some butter just to up my calories a little.

Today I was hungry, so I ate 2 meals.

The first was some air-fried chicken drumsticks seasoned with a goya packet and brushed with a no-sugar-added bbq sauce I found at Walmart, I really like it. Also w/some plain steamed broccoli.



The second I sprinkled some tilapia fillets with some salt & lemon-pepper seasoning and threw it in the air fryer. Then I steamed some green beans, sauteed them in butter sprinkled w/a little garlic powder.


Now I'm soooo stuffed lol.
