    Breakfast:
    1 cup emperor puh erh tea, 1 cup milk oolong tea

    Lunch:
    1 cup of roasted garlic tea, 1 cup white rose tea

    Dinner:
    trout almondine, baked potato w/butter, cheese and sour cream, asparagus, brussel sprouts and corn on the cob (w/butter of course)

    After dinner dessert and/or late night snack:
    watermelon, a cup of mint chocolate chip ice cream, big handful of walnuts, macadamia and pecans

    I've never heard of garlic tea before!

    This is not the garlic tea I drink, https://www.amazon.com/Garlic-Certified-Organic-Tea-bags/dp/B008X8KQ96?th=1
    but will tell you a wee bit about it. The garlic tea I drink is "loose" not tea bags ( I put it in a teaball and steep it for a while), but I LOVE it!!!! I don't drink it (or the other teas I drink) because it's suppose to help with (fill in the blank) I drink garlic tea and other exotic teas because I LOVE GARLIC (and exotic teas) so much and it tastes and is garlic--nothing else-I drink this and other teas straight, nothing at all added, because I like it that way, this garlic tea is just (concentrated dried garlic chips and again, I love it!!!

    I get mine from the health food store. The teas I drink do/can have side-effects, and this garlic tea does too--so I don't drink it everyday or a lot of it...here's more info on garlic tea:
    https://www.verywellfit.com/garlic-tea-benefits-and-side-effects-4163918

    So interesting! I will need to look into this!

    Honey...if you love garlic, you're going to LOVE this tea! I drink it every once in a while, when that "I want some garlic" craving hits me!

    Today's diet wasn't very well balanced but it was well below the calorie goal and very satisfying. Made about 1½ pounds of taco filling this morning and had four tacos for breakfast, about 550 calories. By dinner time I was hungry but a Mexican pizza, about 850 calories, took care of that nicely. Figured to have a salad for an evening snack to supplement the peppers and onion but fell asleep early. Now it is 1 AM and I'm not the hungry in the slightest. Tomorrow's diet will have will start with that salad. Two-thirds of the taco filling left-over by the way.

    Been away from MFP for a while and trying to get back into the swing of it. Like the looks of this thread and if nobody minds too much I'd like to check in here on occasion.

    Soooooooooooooooooooooooo GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! :astonished: I don't really like salmon all that much really (probably due to my mother making salmon croquettes ALL the time when I was young or something like that) ...but when it's STUFFED to the max with lump crab meat (no filler ALL lump crab meat and a LOT of it), honey it kicks up the flavor/taste of salmon up something fierce. I love seafood and really could eat it everyday, but salmon is just okay to me, I don't hate it...it's just not one my favorite sea foods at all, that said--this stuffed salmon is the bombdotcom, period.

    Here's a recipe that close to what I had pic and link from website www.justapinch.com:
