    Red cabbage slaw with a vinegar/turmeric dressing. I served it with grilled kielbasa and mustard (and made some roasted red potatoes for the other members of my family).

    Forgot to post here from Friday night, made a giant "use up all the old vegetables in the fridge" curry. It had cauliflower, grape tomatoes, spring mix, onion, tofu, cashews, pistachios, and of course curry powder and garam masala. And it's over brown rice, which you can't see in the picture. I usually put some plain yogurt in my curry at the end but I didn't have any.

    Tonight's dinner was one of those piecemeal "I accidentally forgot to eat and have to eat a bunch of calories fast" dinners, and also the picture came out pretty blurry, oops. Anyway I had:
    *shiitake mushroom ramen which I added extra mushrooms and dried seaweed to
    *salad with spring mix, grape tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, onion flakes, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and smoky tempeh "bacon."
    *two soft-boiled eggs
    *toasted (well really burned because I got distracted LOL) everything bagel with butter
    *decaf English Breakfast tea

    Going to have an Enlightened brownies and cookie dough keto ice cream bar for dessert.

    One of my favorite meal preps...my take on a healthy burrito bowl. Substituting rice for cauliflower is a game changer!

    Got a smoothie bowl from Playa Bowls today which I do every few months or so. This one has a pitaya base (pitaya, banana, pineapple, coconut milk, and I also got vanilla protein powder added in) with strawberries, blueberries, granola, and honey. Although it's expensive which is why I don't get it too often, I think it's a good value for the money especially with the amount of fruit they put on it and how fresh the ingredients are. It's also really really good, and in particular whatever honey they use tastes especially good.

    We were out late doing errands so had a quick 5-minute dinner late at night. I got Amy's Broccoli Cheddar Bake at the store and also the Teas' Tea Cold Brew Iced Tea, which I often do when I go grocery shopping to eat after getting home. Then I made kind of a salad out of canned salmon, coleslaw blend (green and red cabbage and carrots), tomato, raw apple cider vinegar, and various seasonings. That turned out really good. Going to have cinnamon Catalina Crunch keto cereal for dessert.

    Lunch = flat-out spinach wrap with cold sliced rotisserie chicken breast, LTO, pickles and smoked maple habanero mustard, (which is my new favorite condiment), a side of salted radishes and a peach honey flavored seltzer. Very satisfying for 200+/- calories. I'm a guesstimate calorie person, so not exact.

    Quick weeknight meal. Beef brisket cooked sous vide in a batch on the weekend, given a dry rub, tossed in the freezer and browned tonight in the air fryer. Roast potatoes cooked with the brisket. Salad.

    Air fried Panko crusted chicken tenders, potato puffs (the healthier Alexia brand of "tater tots") and slaw.

    Leftover panko crusted chicken tenders from yesterday, Brussels sprouts w/pork belly, salad of spring mix, leftover slaw mix, cherry tomatoes and two types of olives spritzed w/olive oil. Primal Kitchen chili lime mayo for dipping the tenders in. They were a little dry after being reheated so needed it.

    Ramen w/beef short ribs and mushrooms. Usually we go with pork for ramen but Costco had prime short ribs (and no steak which is what we wanted to get) so we decided to try it with ramen. It was pretty good.
