What was the last meal you cooked?

I repeated a recipe that worked well that I photographed a few days ago. Amazingly enough, in the portions listed this comes out to around 490 calories. Recipe is for 1 person (yes I made it up).

1 peach, seed removed (~200g)
1 boneless pork chop (~200g)
8 g butter

mini yellow potatoes (~150g)
peeled garlic cloves (~12g)
8 g butter
28 g milk
salt

baby arugula and spinach salad mix (28g)
balsamic vinegar (6g)

salt seasoned with rosemary, oregano et al (some discretion on your choice of seasoned salt here)

Put potatoes into a bowl with garlic cloves, add water to just cover, microwave on potato setting.

Meanwhile begin frying the pork chop in about 2 g of butter on medium heat with a cover. Cut the peach into thin (1/4 inch~1/2 cm) wedges. When the pork chop is ready to flip (as you like for done-ness), flip the pork chop, add the peaches and arrange them around the pork chop, and add 6g butter in which to brown the peaches. Cover.

Removed cooked potatoes and garlic from the microwave, drain, dry with a towel, mash together with the milk and 8g butter. Salt to taste. Put in separate serving plate or mound in center of plate.

Rinse arugula/spinach mix and arrange in center of plate (optionally over the garlic mash). drizzle with 5-8g balsamic vinegar.

When the pork chop is done cooking, remove it from the peaches and put it on top of the arugula. Remove lid from peaches, reduce liquids slightly to thicken, arrange cooked peaches and juice around the pork chop.

Top with the chosen seasoned salt. A rosemary-themed salt works well.

You can nudge the butter quantities around a bit to suit your taste and the day's calorie allowance.

There are a lot of good cooks around here, and from the pics people have put some attention into plating. I'm impressed, you know how the diet experts all say to use mindfulness as an aid to losing weight by paying attention to your food. The beautiful meal images here make great examples toward that goal.

Tale of Two Meals: using leftover uncooked ingredients from last evening's dinner (Chicken-veg soy-ginger stir fry, see previous posting), I made another saute dish this evening: Italian-style sauteed chicken and vegetables. Chicken breast, fresh diced plum tomatoes, red and green peppers, onions, seasonings (includes minced garlic), dash of white wine (as a deglazer after cooking the chicken and before the veg). Another low sodium, low fat (even with some cheese included), good macros count dish. Uncharacteristically, no carb side (e.g., rice or pasta) tonight.
