Kale & bean soup with leeks & garlic, pistachio-parsley-lemon zest pesto, plenty of olive oil, and feta. Yum.
@SafariGalNYC You're inspiring me. I want to try Kebda Iskandarani and the zucchine cacio e uova looks delicious, too.
@acpgee What's the cheesy baked dish at the Latin American restaurant? That entire table looks amazing. Hope it was as good as it looks.
@Cat0703a Your farmer's market haul looks great, too. I love the sunflower!3 -
Quick weeknight dinner of minced chicken bulgogi bowl.

The cheesey dish was roast new potatoes smothered in raclette. Very rich. The second side on this menu.

Evening all.. dinners looking so appetizing. 😋
Tonight I just did chicken breast tenderloin (with za’atar of course) and a oak & red leaf salad with evoo and balsamic.
I’ve been into experimenting with different lettuces lately. (I grew up on iceberg. Everything else is exotic to me lol )
☝🏻This is 7oz of chicken. 483 cals for dinner. I’m a olive oil enthusiast. I could ease down those calories if I didn’t use so much. Does anyone use a oil mister?

OMG I wanna come over for dinner. This looks amazing. I grew up on butter lettuce, but no leafy green is safe from me nowadays
I'm also an olive oil enthusiast, if you hadn't noticed in my photos. No oil mister for me though: I pour a tablespoon of olive oil over most of my meals these days, so I can get my fat macros right! lmao... here's the olive-oil-bathed tomato & pickled melon with burrata that I had for lunch
I'm eating a combination keto/Mediterranean diet, and olive oil is a key part of my weight loss success. I've lost 25 lbs since June 27 and I feel so much better. I used to think that "Mediterranean diet" means low-fat, but check this out:

@takinitalloff I wondered if you were doing MD too!! I thought so by what I was seeing. I’m only about 70% there as I have a teen who is less thrilled with that way of eating and I’m way too tired to be cooking multiple meals.
@SafariGalNYC, I have an oil mister but I don’t love it. I found when adding it to salad, the vinegar, herb etc ratios were never correct and I don’t love just straight EVOO on my salads.2 -

Yes, I started with straight keto but quickly realized that I needed to get my saturated fats, cholesterol, and sodium down. So I started replacing some meat with fish, butter with olive oil, eggs & cheese with nuts & seeds, etc. and one day I looked at my plate and thought, that looks awfully Mediterranean
Then I started thinking about the whole thing and realized that I was pretty much already eating a Mediterranean diet, except I wasn't eating any grains (no pasta, bread, rice, etc.), no sugar, no beans, and very limited fruit. So I decided to experiment and started by adding some beans back in (because yum! and also fiber!), and here I am. I guess you could call it low-carb Mediterranean.
Sorry to hear your teen isn't into it yet... maybe they'll get into it eventually. Cooking multiple meals does sound exhausting. And 70% is far better than nothing!2 -
Breaded and baked tofu, and whatever in the fridge needed to be used. I roasted the corn with butter and cajun spices and it's my new default way to make it.

I have an olive oil mister from brand Misto and don't love it. If you get one that works well, let me know what brand.
For non delicate foods like veg for roasting, I am doing a light coat of olive oil by shaking in a recycled plastic bag (the thin little ones you weigh vegetables in at the store) or a tupperware style food box. For delicate stuff like arancini that are going into the airfryer, I roll in oil on a small baking sheet.2 -
@takinitalloff
I’m also an EVOO enthusiast! Glad to have company haha. My diet leans Mediterranean.. I love fish and vegetables.
@Cat0703a & @acpgee Thanks for the intel on the misters!!! The search continues.

🍽️ Quiche - ish?
It started as a quiche .. lots of eggs and some leftover cheese, mushrooms and a mixed veg. My available meat was ground venison.
I had some zucchini blossoms 🌸 I threw on top. Not as elegant as I wanted but.. it was tasty!
I’ve been trying new flours. This is a cauliflower flour, hemp heart, flax Blend. Darker in color with herbs. Somewhat dense and stuck to the pan. Argh. But had lots of vitamins and minerals.
Photos are quiche with filling and just bare crust experiment. 👩🏼🍳

@SafariGalNYC I think your quiche-ish looks incredible. And that flour blend sounds interesting. Probably much tastier than plain wheat flour.
I had shrimp salad (recipe by Melissa Clark), served on top of butter lettuce & cucumber and with an avocado on top.

@takinitalloff that is a perfect looking avocado!!!1

@Cat0703a Yes this was a great one! I've had a few lately that were sadly spoiled, but most of them have been just perfect.0

Made some carbonara for the first time in a while. Really hit the spot! Side of veggies bc I have so much produce right now.3 -
Lunch at work: spicy gyro. So good I’m going to make some girardinera at home to put on everything.3 -
🇮🇹 Caprese 🍅🌿 These are some fine tomatoes too. Ah, summer...

Salad with fennel, apple, toasted pecan and capers. Sous vide lamb shank and a tiny bit of sweet potato mash and some warmed up sous vide liquid.
