    These are all vegetarian (except the first shrimp dish). I'm not sure what they used - soy most likely and mushrooms possibly

    Most likely a Chinese restaurant would have used seitan as well as soy and mushrooms in their vegetarian dishes. In Chinese supermarkets seitan is known as Buddhist mock meat and sold in tins. The deep fried nuggets in the pineapple look like they could be seitan.

    OMG. And here lies the truth that dieting doesn't have to be boring. I wish these photos came with recipes.

    I tried something different with my Shakshuka today.. added avocado. It was awesome.

    I chopped up some lamb heart very finely to add it to the base for extra vitamins..

    Leftover flounder heated up in butter and ponzu sauce w/salad of Mediterranean Mix greens, capers & cherry tomatoes spritzed with olive oil. Yesterday I had flounder with tzatziki sauce which worked well as the flounder is rather bland.

    Lamb shank cooked sous vide with Moroccan flavourings such as preserved lemon, pomegranate molasses and spices. Polenta underneath the lamb. Melissa Clark's NYT roast root veg and lentil salad an a tryout for a party I am throwing mid February. Removed the bacon and garlic for friends with dietary restrictions but added miso to the vinaigrette to compensate for a salty and umami kick.

    We had a fairly traditional (deferred) holiday meal last evening for the grandparents generation, as we had gone to our kids' places for the actual holidays. Beef ribeye roast, sauteed mushrooms, roast maple multicolored carrots, roast savory brussels sprouts, baked russet potatoes, condiments, drinks and etc., including apple pie dessert. Not too wild of a spread, as company was more imporant than the menu. I managed to just exceed my daily calories for the day, while exceeding my daily protein macro by about 20%, fat macro by 30% and under consumed my carbs macro about 25% (while exceeding my sugar target). Good thing I skimped on the appetizers while finishing the entree as chef, LOL.

    Still experimenting with salads for a buffet party next month. Pan fried sea bream fillets with a vaguely salade nicoise. I need to add capers and probably more anchovy.
