    Chicken milanese, roasted broccoli and bowtie pasta with kale.
    My one year old has been picky lately, and is a pasta aholic so I've been sneaking spinach and kale into everything lately.
    Also i pinned that cuban pork for later. Looks amazing

    The chicken from Serious Eats' Halal cart-style chicken and rice. I used a few extra garlic, less chicken, and half the olive oil (again, less chicken). It turned out really good.

    I served it on plain basmati rice and added some harissa that was in the fridge.

    Chicken potstickers just in time for Lunar New Year! I used this recipe (subbing chicken for pork) after being inspired by her days of dumpling posts on Instagram.

    They came in at around 70 calories each including the oil used for pan frying. It's kind of crazy because they feel more oily than they let on, but there was only 1 tbsp of oil to cook 20 dumplings.

    Beautiful day today. Biked around town doing a couple of errands while the slowcooker was making dinner. Honey-garlic chicken, with veggies (green beans, carrots, sweet potato) over quinoa with side salad.

    Pics:
    (1) Dinner, served. Broiled the chicken to finish. I *was* expecting more of a honey glaze type of presentation, but this tasted great. MFP says that's about 1100 calories on the plate, well within my daily budget (esp. with a light lunch).
    (2) Ingredients for glaze. Something missing, key ingredient! It's a good thing slow cookers get started slowly, so you can catch up. Pic included for the recipe-curious.
    (3) In the crockpot, starting to cook. [minced garlic was missing, added on top].
    (4) Ready to broil-finish the chicken. After 6 hours, the chicken had already "dissolved" pretty much.
    (5) View from a local bridge this afternoon, looking east toward the barrier island town (Sea Bright, NJ, in the far distance) that divides us from the Atlantic Ocean. Included here because the bike ride purportedly added 600-800 calories to my daily budget today. Which I didn't fill, so it's a net-less-calorie day.

    Thanks for the link! We’ve been in HK for nearly 4yrs and (sadly, embarrassingly) I haven’t learned much culinarily-speaking. Can’t wait to start trying my hand at some of our local favourites!

    No worries! It honestly took less time than I thought. No more than two hours (I let the dough rise for maybe an hour and made the filling as the dough was rising). I thought I would have a little more time on my hands (I had intended to make it on predicted snow day), but I thankfully didn't have anything really pressing that needed to get done for the next day.

    Italian turkey quinoa stuffed peppers. So delicious and so simple! Mixed ground turkey, brown rice and quinoa, jarred marinara sauce and a variety of spices together, filled the peppers, topped with mozzarella cheese and then broiled until deliciously crispy on top! 😋z1h7wdb0287c.jpeg

    Made gluten free, lactose free mac and cheese for dinner tonight. Lactose free cheese and milk in a cheese sauce I made with corn flour, and Barilla corn and quinoa pasta. Even the gluten and lactose eating members of the family like it. First few attempt were kind of nasty but now I get repeat requests for it :).

    Went hiking with a senior group today, so made a simplistic dinner: braised chicken and veggies in a white wine reduction (sounds more impressive than the simple thing it is), served with spaghetti squash and sauce. Low sodium, very low fat, low carb, high flavor.

    Pics:
    1. Chicken, veggies braising.
    2. Served, with squash and sauce.

    I made homemade chili for the first time last night. I never liked chili growing up because of the beans, but I've learned to like black beans now, so I made it with them. It turned out pretty good. My fiance even said it tasted better than his mom's, so I must have done something right.
