      Last night was vegetarian sloppy joe sliders and tonight will be leftovers. May make roasted red potatoes as a side to add to the meal. It was easy and quick to make after a late evening gym run.

      I have some meyer lemons, and I would love to make a pasta or something fancy out of them, but I probably won't get home from the gym until around 8 p.m. or so. Those leftovers feel like a Godsend when I'm tuckered out and it's so late.

      Spicy avocado and egg sandwich with a side of steamed veggies or a salad.

      Last night: grilled lemony-marinated skewer chicken breast served over lime-coconut rice with grilled peppers/onions and a side tomato-cucumber salad. Tonight: Dad's (chef's) night out, LOL.

      FYI: MFP says this plate is about ... 946cal, 96g protein, 14g fat, 76g carb, 14g fiber, 22g sugar, 378mg sodium. All within my daily targets on 2000cal/day plan. Gotta beware of too much coconut, though; it can boost the numbers easily.

      It's a fine plan if you enjoy it and helps you stick to the calories.

      Do u mean you put frozen meat in the pressure cooker????

      Yes. I don't need to do it often, especially as I have a harder-to-manipulate old-style (but still great!) "jiggle top" pressure cooker (vs. the new, electric, pushbutton ones such as the InstantPot). There's lots of hints/tips/etc. online.

      I use my pressure cooker 1-2/wk in the cooler months, and typically less during the summer.

      I had a bit of a learning curve: it's very easy to turn frozen meat/poultry into steamed shoe leather using a pressure cooker. Took a few tries before I started having consistently good results. The usual InstantPot infomercial (which I watched recently one late night), makes it seem real easy to, for instance, pressure cook to perfection frozen ribs, etc. - but maybe that's with their product, not my "ol' trusty." Depending on food type and "size" (how big a block of frozen stuff it is), you typically just need to cook (at pressure) for a couple of extra minutes with frozen meat. When done right, the pressure cooked frozen meal is better than a microwaved version (although I admit I freeze serving portions of stew I've pressure cooked for microwave quick meals on the run).

      There's a group here on MFP dedicated to pressure cooking.

      Low carb isn't my thing but it's a fine plan if it keeps you on track. Nothing wrong with it, but it still all comes down to maintaining a calorie deficit. Whatever method makes keeping that deficit easiest for you is a good plan.

      It's 4:32 p.m. and I have absolutely no idea what's for dinner. Everything sounds okay but nothing sounds great.

      I am very boring. I had the same as I have had every single evening (except Saturday evenings) for the last 4 months or so - roast chicken breast, baby new potatoes, a hard boiled duck egg and a mix of vegetables, usually carrots, broccoli, babycorn and fine beans. I am very much a creature of habit. A few years ago, it was poached salmon instead of chicken and baked potato.

      Saturday nights, however, can be anything from steak to pizza to chinese to pasta to a proper roast dinner followed by some rich dessert ... tiramisu or chocolate fudge cake preferably.

      Tonight was Turkey Breast stir fry. 100 gr chunked turkey, 4 chopped mushrooms, half a red onion, small amount of red and green pepper and a pinch of sweetcorn. All tossed in a dry fry pan with a little curry powder and herbs. Had it with a 6 grain wholemeal roll and a glass of water. Yummy and so low in calories.

      I'd like your recipe, please and thank you. Those are two of my favorite foods in the whole world.

      Tonight we're having tacos. Mine and my daughter's will be vegetarian.

      Last night we had baby back ribs and collard greens with pickled onions.

      I had planned fresh venison stew for tonight but if the power doesn't come back on sometime soon I may have to rethink.

      This is the curry. I found it on Pinterest and haven't tried it before: http://www.cookwithmanali.com/instant-pot-potato-chickpea-curry/

      The red chile sauce I made by taking about six ounces of dried chilies, toasting them in a pan for a couple of minutes, and then soaking in hot water for ten minutes. Once that I was done, I sauteed an onion and a few cloves of garlic in some peanut oil with some cumin and oregano and then added the drained chilies, a couple cups of vegetable broth, a bit of salt, and a can of diced tomatoes. After it simmered for a few minutes, I blended it all up with an immersion blender. I made it last night -- it has a really great flavor!

      I'm planning brisket with caramelized onions, roasted Brussels sprouts, and popovers. And... I'm pretty excited about it, ngl.
