Would you please mind sharing your recipe for chickpea stew? Thanks
Chickpea Stew
1 medium onion
3garlic cloves
handful of cilantro
1tbsp oil of choice
packet of sazon and adobo seasoning
2 14oz cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
8 oz tomato sauce
2 cups water
In a food processor, make your sofrito with the onion, garlic and cilantro. Sautee this in the oil with a packet of sazon and a generous sprinkle of adobo for 2-3 min on medium heat. (If you don't have these seasonings, just use 1tsp each garlic and onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 2 tsp dried oregano). Add the chickpeas, tomato sauce and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes. Serve over rice and enjoy

Margie tried a new recipe tonight. I called it Larro's Angel hair shrimp and spinach. We didn't have as much spinach as it called for, but still very good. I topped it with parm. Also had green beans with almond slivers. All very good. Dessert to follow.
As prepared:
202g shrimp
113g angel hair pasta
84g spinach {called for 8 oz, all we had was 3}
58g olive oil
3 Tbs lemon juice
116g chicken broth
1/3 Tbs dried garlic
2 Tbs capers
Cook pasta in large pot of water. Cook shrimp in olive oil over medium heat about two minutes, add broth and lemon juice, then garlic, capers and spinach and cook for a couple more minutes. Add pasta and enjoy.

I went into town to water the lobby plants at work, and I was able to slip out long enough to have supper with Margie. We went to Main Street Station again, and I had the Surf 'N Turf Special again. New York strip steak, shrimp, fish and chicken, with Cole slaw and potato salad for sides. We also had a basket of chips and salsa. It was very good. I didn't have enough calories in the bank for anything but a carrot for dessert though.

We went out for Italian tonight. I had salad, salmon pescatore, smashed potatoes, and green beans. Soooo good!
@mygnsac, that looks good, but I do have to ask, is that the portion size that the restaurant gave you? It's surprising that the salmon is the biggest thing on the plate, and the cheaper foods, the potatoes and the green beans, are much smaller? Didn't know if you split it or already put some in a to go container. It looks like a very reasonable portion size, if I were making it at home I would probably have something similar!

That is the portion sizes they gave us. They gave us a huge piece of salmon! As I usually wind up doing when we go out, I ate half and brought the rest home.

I've started asking for a box when they bring my meal, too. It makes a huge difference for me and I get to eat the other half later without going over my calorie allowance (usually).

If it is a restaurant without online nutritional info, I will go ahead and divide my meal in half so I can weigh it when I get home to get a more accurate number when logging.0 -
