Chickpea burgers. Here is the recipe I use: https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/chickpea-burger-338863
Make sure the carrots get the liquid squeezed out of them so they're just damp, not wet, and definitely go not over process. There should be chunks of chickpeas still, or else it falls apart. Also, refrigerate 20 min or so before cooking.4 -
Veggie pizza with homemade crust
Veggie banza pasta with sun dried tomatoes/white bean sauce with roasted garlic
Red peppers stuffed with quinoa, butternut squash and tvp
Can't remember the rest lol1 -
That all sounds delicious, thanks for the inspiration! The chickpea burgers sound very similar to Jack Monroe's carrot and kidney bean burgers which are a fave of mine.1

Strawberries! I've been under the weather and they're one of the few things I can tolerate eating lately. And it's the season, so they're delicious.0

Slow cooker chinese barbecued chicken thighs (made with boneless skinless chicken thighs) with rice and stir-fried greens (kale/spinach/chard/carrot mix).
Really tasty dinner for about 400 calories (including .25 lbs meat, .5 cup of rice, and stir fried greens)
Chicken thigh recipe:
2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
2 Tbsp ketchup
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp cooking sherry
1.5 tsp toasted sesame oil
1.5 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 garlic clove minced
0.5 tsp chinese five-spice powder
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 2-2.5 lbs) trimmed
Mix everything but the chicken in a small bowl to make the sauce. Spray slow cooker with a little cooking spray, then put chicken thighs in bottom of slow cooker. Pour half of the sauce over the chicken, and turn the chicken in the sauce a few times to coat it. Cover and slow-cook on low 4-5 hours.
After chicken is cooked, remove from slow cooker. Pre-heat broiler in oven with oven rack 6-inches away. Place chicken on a rack on a foil-lined pan. Broil chicken a few minutes on each side to dry the surface before glazing. Brush the chicken with half of the remaining sauce from earlier on one side, broil 3-5 mins (should get nice browning glaze effect) then flip the chicken and brush the other side with the rest of the remaining sauce and broil another 3-5 mins.
Serve with rice and your favorite stir-fried greens or veggie.1 -
strawberry banana smoothie with half a scoop vanilla protein powder and nonfat greek yogurt
2 caramel rice cakes with cookie butter
2 thin pork chops with white rice and sugar snap peas
2 turkey tacos with fat free cheddar and light sour cream0 -
Smoothies for breakfast - unsweetened vanilla cashew milk, MCT oil, spinach, birthday cake whey protein, collagen peptides, and ice to make it nice and creamy. The whey protein is amazing - it’s my favourite flavour by far.
For lunch probably chicken and hummus or some spicy Spanish rice. I’m pretty flexible on lunches.
For dinner I’m making tons of cauliflower rice recipes - I love it as a risotto. Also a shrimp skillet with lime, garlic and cilantro, plus one night an egg scramble with chicken bacon.1
