    Hi All,

    My name is Doug. New here. Looking forward to picking up some healthy food ideas, recipes and friends! Today’s meals:

    wtm5qcrrzgvq.jpeg

    Breakfast
    Poached Eggs topped with a creamy blend of lime-infused avocado and non-fat Greek yogurt, paired with crispy, turmeric-seasoned sliced turkey and a garnish of fresh strawberries.

    Lunch
    Walnut & Medjool Date Chicken Salad, Topped with Mozzarella Strings and Finely Shredded Baby Carrots, layered over a Creamy Avocado and Greek Yogurt Crema on a Toasted Almond Bread Wafer. Garnished with Fresh Parsley and served alongside an assortment of fresh berries. Healthy and delicious

    Dinner
    Mushroom & Snow Pea Chicken tossed in a fragrant soy-ginger glaze, enhanced with a hint of honey and sesame and served atop a bed of finely riced cauliflower.

    Inspiring! Welcome!

    Do you ever make braised eggs instead of fried? I love 'em. Easy to cook, easy to clean the pan, and you can use a little less butter. I also don't burn the edges. Simple process:
    • Heat the pan as if you're making a fried egg
    • Add the butter or oil
    • Crack in the egg and immediately add an ounce or 1.5 ounces of water
    • Put the lid on the pan
    • Set the timer. Two to three minutes depending how cooked you like them.
    • Enjoy!

    A 10 minute dinner tapas style dinner. Halved cherry tomatoes and a piece of feta drizzled in olive oil and roasted 10 minutes in the air fryer. A red pepper I roasted this morning and peeled later while the feta/tomato mixture was cooking. Some thin slices of serrano ham. Toast.

    @mtaratoot - I haven’t tried this!!! I can’t wait.
    I love poached eggs.. but I always mess them up. Braised - This seems like a great in between! Will post!

    Thanks 😊

    If you like them (I bet a bagel you do), and if you order them in a restaurant, they'll probably know you're serious about eggs and make 'em really good.

    Herb Salad with Pistachios, Fennel, and Horseradish by Alison Roman. I don't usually like raw fennel in salads, but this was tasty! The tender butter lettuce, the lemony dressing, the crunchy pistachios & fennel seeds... yum.

    Snack: chicken breast cooked in the pan with a bit of mustard, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Plus a piece of slightly melted Petite Breakfast Fresh Brie by Marin French Cheese Co. A delicious combo. (No it's not vanilla ice cream haha)

    Spicy Pork and Mustard Green Soup, also by Alison Roman. Szechuan pepper provides a lovely gentle heat that doesn't hurt me, unlike many other spicy things. This soup is a staple at my house, I can't get enough of it (especially the broth... true soul food). I omitted the noodles & crushed red pepper flakes, and used less soy sauce & salt than the recipe calls for.

    Super Lucky 2024 Black Eyed Peas cooked simply with onions, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaf, salt, and olive oil (extra drizzle of olive oil on top). I love these beans, they have a unique flavor (or at least I have never eaten anything quite like it). And they burst when I bite them, I'm trying to figure out what that reminds me of, cherry tomatoes maybe? So fun :D

    As a bonus, black-eyed peas are one of the few larger legumes that you don't need to soak. Adzuki beans are another. Rancho Gordo has some really neat offerings for sure. One of these days maybe I'll splurge and try some.

    Yeah, I gave them just a brief soak (a couple hours maybe?), because it fit well into my schedule and why not. I look forward to reading your report on RG's beans, once you decide to take the plunge! I never thought I could LOVE beans, but RG's quality is so good. These beans are fresh (yes, dried... but not left in storage forever). They're beautiful and tasty... and they cook up wonderfully, like no other beans I'd ever encountered before. It truly is a joy cooking with RG products. I also just ordered some of their red popcorn for the first time. Looking forward to trying that, too.

    I get bored with the same old thing so I experiment. I made Mexican stuffed peppers w/ground elk but you can use any protein even squished tofu or chopped tempeh! Add in your favorite Mexican spices and spoon into peppers. Bake them at 400/15 mins. Top with cheese & bake 5 mins. Top with whatever you like. I smashed 1/2 an avocado, added Pico, and 0% Fage. So good!

    The 2nd picture is simple: 1.5cups shredded this color cabbage pre packaged, 2tbsp Lighthouse italian dresseing/marinade, 2 baked chicken thighs seasoned w/Mrs Dash lemon pepper, a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning. Winco has it in bulk. This is 355 cals/ 51g protein/8 carbs/12 mg fat. Crunchy, fresh, and tasty. Sometimes I toss in green onion or Cilantro.

    You dropped this @AmberVanSweden ;) FYI when you hit "upload image" and then you move the cursor before the image has finished uploading, it will drop it into whatever spot the cursor has moved to. In your case, you had moved the cursor into the middle of your first image link, so the link broke when the second image got inserted into it. Welcome, and your food looks yummy!

    A colleague wants to come over for homestyle Japanese food in a couple of weeks. Practiced sushi served family style with roll your own California handrolls and a side of messy looking mushroom yakitori. I learned the family style sushi from a half Japanese girlfriend.
