Nice catch @CertifiedPersonalTrainer! Would have been nice to see your pic though!
Every now and again, MFP has some great recipes! I have 3 more servings of "golden oatmeal" (mine with fresh turmeric) that will be polished off before Monday.
Thanks @MaltedTea Next time I will post one of my own on this thread. By the way, this is not an MFP recipe. 🏋🏽♂️0 -

@Noreenmarie1234 My plates are small because I'm an older/smaller short person and my calories are around 1200-1300 per day thus my three "meals" per day are approximately 400 calories each though when I have my final snack I will add whatever is necessary to stay above 1200. I only mention this because the 1200 calories thing seems to bring out a lot of negative opinions on this site. The dish here is 453 calories.
Black bean chili con carne w/shredded sharp cheddar and salsa (I took the photo before I added the salsa)

Yes, I wasn't saying you aren't eating enough or that there was anything wrong with it! Just made me think about myself and my crazy volume eating habits. I do eat double your calories because I am in maintenance, but my meals are also only 200-400 calories too. I am a volume eater so I always eat huge amount even though low calorie, lol. I just find it amazing some people can eat smaller portions instead of high volume low calorie like I have to.1 -

No problem. I wasn't sure.

Oh!? So which magical site is this that gives you a bar code to scan in your recipes like magic? Enquiring minds 🤔0 -

Not sure I'm a volume eater or non volume one but I like you, I am curious about some of @LazyBlondeChef's deliciousness. There was a delicious sage imbued game meat the other day that I wanted to gobble up 😋
Y'all, let it be known I just lurk the thread to get food ideas 😭 You're all so good!2 -

That would be fine. If you use too much it is like a sour taste that will make your mouth pucker!
I bought some yesterday and sampled it - yes, it's tart and a bit sweet. Thanks!0 -
Salade Nicoise.

@acpgee the Niçoise looks really good.1

I think we are starting to feel the pointy end of Brexit. Sent the hubby out to get new potatoes for Nicoise but the only potatoes (new or otherwise) were in tins. Not a terrible texture but no seasoing.4

Moroccan braised chicken and lentils. Goodness gracious it was good. Made a huge dish of it so lots of good leftovers!6 -
Since we had sushi takeout for dinner I thought I'd put a picture of my brunch instead. Oatmeal with apple, cinnamon, chia seeds, currants and slivered almonds. I guess a lot of people would add milk or milk substitute but I hate milk and have never found any of the substitutes satisfactory so I just eat it without. It's still soft enough but not very creamy. I actually don't much like oatmeal but this concoction is not too bad.

I eat something similar for breakfast, but it's overnite oats--oatmeal, dried blueberries, slivered almonds, cinnamon, chia, chopped tart apple (with peel), and frozen raspberries, blackberries, lingonberries, strawberries (it's a mix). I used to drizzle milk on top but decided to up my protein. I now add 10g of protein powder and add some water. Put in the frig overnite. Love it.3 -
Waldorf salad to start. Xmas mark IV for main. Pan fried goose breast, puy lentils, roast Belgian endive, leftover cranberry sauce.

Trying to include the picture but not sure if it will work. Hahah These forums aren't super user friendly from the phone.2 -
See it didn't include the picture. I'll try again. I think it did it this time.

Also did some meal prepping.
Low Cal veggie soup with ground chicken. 275 calories per bowl. I only took a picture of the pot though.
Banana bread muffins. 148 calories each

While I do lurk this thread a lot, I also cook...from time to time. Here's a new-to-me dessert I made during Sunday's meal prep because I needed to get rid of some cornbread that was taking up space in my freezer.
Neither the alleged original name - "Mulatto’s Pudding" - nor one attributed during America's Reconstruction era - "Brown Betty" - sit well with me so I'm taking my hard-fought North American privilege in 2021 to rename it: "BBW"
Boozy, Bready, Wonderful
(And, yes, I do tend to research the history of foods I eat. Although I don't often rename them)
Essentially, it's a twist off of this recipe which called for an IPA but I used a Jamaican rum instead. I also used HALF the sugar and butter which makes this a perfect coffee or tea compliment, albeit high calorie at ~450 calories/serving. And that doesn't count the ice cream 😋
Left to Right: Dessert served with 1/3 cup salted caramel lactose-free ice cream (Natrel); fresh out of the oven

@MaltedTea - yum! I like your recipe name better!! And less sugar always sits good with me!2 -
California roll your own hand rolls with miso soup.

Grilled grass fed beef patty, oven roasted baby red/white/purple potatoes w/olive oil and garlic and separately turnips w/olive oil. I prefer to have a fresh herb like sage, rosemary or thyme and thought I still had some sage but it turned out not to be the case so these were seasoned liberally with salt and pepper. I haven't had a turnip in quite a while and forgot how strong of a flavor they are. Not sure I would roast them again as I think they are better mashed like potatoes.
