    So I am eating out of the freezer currently to make space for quick meals (both store bought and ones I make myself). Thus, my dinners of late revolve around that.

    Last night was veggie fried rice (mixed vegetables from the freezer) and coconut shrimp (also from the freezer). It was good, though I under seasoned the rice. So tonight when I go to reheat, I will do so in a pan and add more coconut aminos and sesame oil.

    I am not turning a gorgeous perfectly shaped eggplant into noodles!….I did buy a beautiful glossy eggplant this morning at the produce market and I am thinking about what to do with it!….I am thinking::::::…slicing and pressing with paper towels to remove moisture,brushing or spritzing with olive oil, crisping in air fryer and then topping with pizza sauce, mozzerella and diced onions…what do you think?

    Spray, I think, uses less than a brush.

    Would watch the quantity of pizza sauce give that it will probably not absorb into the eggplant like it would with dough

    I think it will be fabulous when finished!

    I still think that serving it under an egg would work great too.

    Same as a portobella!

    Due to personal history, I tend to think that egg-plant goes well with feta cheese and meat... and yogurt... that's yogurt definitely yogurt and not bechamel sauce! :innocent:

    Tonight is chunky cod with that pesto and breadcrumbs on top! Not sure about lunch yet …. Got some butternut squash and stinky blue cheese that is getting stinkier by the day… maybe roasted butternut with English blue Stilton … indoors instead of out as rainy and cool here today! 🚴🏼‍♂️

    I love Skinnytaste meals. I have all the cookbooks and way too many of the online recipes saved. What I love about them is that while they are calorie controlled, they don't demonize any sort of food.

    Last night was the last of the veggie fried rice and coconut shrimp. Tonight is a brand new to me experience. I am making Gungjung Tteokbokki which is a Korean rice cake dish. It has rice cakes (obviously), lots of veggies, and a sweet/savory sauce. Usually Tteokbokki is made with a spicy sauce, but I wasn't feeling that plus I wanted some veggies in there.

    Lunch today is chicken patty sandwiches with optional hot cheese slices and turkey bacon. I'll have mine with a little lettuce and a smear of BBQ. And there are some leftover cherry halves that are going to be my dessert.

    Dinner tonight is curried lamb meatballs, saag, rice, and naan.

    I grilled chicken thighs, half with a light balsamic marinade, half with a spice blend. Side salad with fixings to start, green beans sauteed with mushrooms and onions to go with the chicken. I also had two vodka/gatorade zero lemon drinks, and a fun size 100 grand bar.

    Ooh. I could totally do an egg McMuffin with no butter and extra egg and canadian bacon! Never thought of that before.

    My daily breakfast is a very well toasted English muffin with butter and either jam of some sort or cinnamon sugar. I can't eat much in the morning and haven't been able to for years. If I have the need, I'll add a cup of yogurt later in the morning to bolster me before lunch.

    Lunch today will be walking burritos, which have all the sour cream and such inside, and then we're having a quichecake for dinner with orange-pecan sweet bread and sliced fruit salad (banana/strawberry/sweet cherry)

    Looks like downstairs will have the BBQ on and I'm not avoiding it no matter what!!!

    Because

    I got them good earlier 😛 by buying a whole bunch of BBQ utensils and such for them and some groceries and ice cream for the kids and a couple of bags of treats for them to give to Skylar instead of whole bagels which I spotted once!!!!! and I "forgot" to take with me some cookies and chocolates I opened for the kids to "try" 😹😹😹
