    I made a simple ice cream out of skyr, strawberry balsamic to sweeten, diced strawberries, a few grams of vanilla instant pudding mix and water. 78 calories for half a pint and unexpectedly delicious. I’m going to experiment with applesauce and some green apple balsamic next.

    Chicken salad. With dried cranberries. I usually like nuts as well but since I don’t have any I’ve used some diced watermelon radish for the crunch!

    Well done baked Russet potatoes with butter, salt and pepper. washed and rubbed with powdered salt, 400F for 90 minutes. Crispy skin and brown around the edges. One with every meal.

    Aka British “Jacket” Potatos.

    We have them every Sunday night.

    Unless somebody turns on the oven but puts the potatoes in the microwave above it by accident.

    It’s a sincerely weird feeling to open the oven expecting to see two yummy potatoes and see…….nothing.

    Senior moment. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Sardines. I have rediscovered them after my daughter brought some home.
    The ones in fresh water are moister; the ones in soya oil, apart from the ick of the soya oil, are drier somehow.

    Very good source of Omega 3.

    Tuna salad and chicken salad. Can’t get enough! I can just eat it with a fork. Sometimes I’ll spread on a Wasa cracker.

    Dave’s Killer Bread: I use the thin-sliced kind and it’s made a world of difference for satiety for lunches. I still love my Schmidt’s low calorie bread, but although this is more calories per slice, I end up being full rather than wanting more out of my turkey sandwich.

    Still loving Nugo bars too. It’s great for a chocolate, chewy treat and it satisfies a dessert craving (and has added protein!).

    Brussel sprouts and Atkins latte shakes because I love the taste of them (and the caffeine)!

    I've got an never ending tea 'thing'...

    I have the same thing. To the point where I had to find a tea organizer because every time I would open the pantry and try to get something out, tea would try and fall out. I had that many boxes. They were everywhere.

    I've been making this Spanish chickpea, chorizo, and seafood stew once per week for the last month or so. I've done it with cod and shrimp...I'd like to do it with a mix of shellfish and squid.

    Whipped cream cheese. 2 Tbsp for 50 calories of the plain stuff. I discovered the other day it makes a very good mayo sub in my chicken salad.

    Help!

    We had dinner at a local Colombian restaurant last night. They do true Colombian, versus the Tex Mex style that our other local Colombian does. Think roast chicken with raspberry sauce, paellas, salmon strew, brisket slow cooked in potatoes and tomatoes. Lots of fresh vegetables on the side.

    Our salad was an chickpea salad with chopped carrots, cilantro (may have been parsley) and chopped onion.

    It was FABULOUS. I asked for a takeout portion to bring home to try to figure out what’s in it.

    I’ve spent an hour googling and the only recipes I can find call for a minimum of 6tbsp olive oil. I ran my finger around the dish after I finished eating it and didn’t feel any oil, nor see any when I tilted the plate looking for tell tale oil spots.

    It had a lovely, slightly salty taste. I didn’t think it tasted lemony, but can’t think what else they may have dressed it with. Definitively not a tahini sauce like some recipes I spotted.

    Any suggestions?

    This stuff is like crack and I have to have it in my life.

    I can’t think of anything (lemon was my first guess), but did you try calling the restaurant and asking what they specifically use to dress it?

    I’m going to order some for takeout and see if I can get them to divulge. Tiny tiny family restaurant, reservation only, just seven tables. I have a feeling they may hold this close to the vest. At least they’re only a block away and it’s a side, so I won’t go broke like I would indulging in their roasted raspberry chicken or stewed brisket.

    We are just venturing back out to the “nicer” restaurants. 😇

    Oh geeze, now I need to find a Columbian place… That all sounds amazing.
    RE your chickpea salad, I wonder if it’s one of those recipes like Italian bolognese, or Swedish meatballs, etc, where it’s called something overall but every family does it a little differently?

    Eat Me Guilt Free Protein Brownies; specifically the chocolate brownie, chocolate peanut butter bliss brownie, and chocolate hazelnut brownie flavors. I have one with a glass of unsweetened vanilla almond milk almost every night after dinner. 180 calories for 22g of protein with only 7g of carbs, 4g of sugar, and 6g of fat. No other protein brownie has come close to these for me. They taste even better when you microwave them for 15 seconds.

    I bought single ones from netrition at $2.99. Wanted to try them before ordering a whole box.

    Popcorn! Especially the pre-made kind that’s magically like 40 calories a cup. It’s a perfect snack and you can have so much for so few calories!
