    Spiced Pumpkin and Goat Cheese with Citrus Dressing and Sunflower Seeds -- another recipe from The Real Meal Revolution cookbook. I'm super hungry today so I don't know if this really was as amazing as I think it was? But yes, I think so! I found two online references to this recipe and both bloggers also loved it, even though both of them made some changes. I followed the recipe exactly, except I used olive oil instead of coconut oil to roast the pumpkin. YUM.

    I made three Egyptian goulash's on the weekend. At one straight away, frozen another and saved one to eat tonight. So same meal as Sunday night, tonight. Added some stir fried green bean and broccoli mix because we have a lot of that in the vegetable drawer.

    Dip of tomato, feta, olive oil cooked in the air fryer and served with toast. Blanched veg with ranch. I got a new air fryer yesterday so tested that out with drumsticks. Two were plain and two were coated in Korean fried chicken sauce which scorched a little.

    Pad Kra Pao (thanks @acpgee for the inspiration!). I used pork belly for the meat, and used half the amounts of oyster/fish/soy sauces because the full amounts would have made this way too salty for me. I also only used about a third of the chilis... it was plenty spicy for me 🥵 and the kitchen smelled very sneezy during cooking :D

    Tasty dish. I was planning to eat this by itself because of my low-carb ways, but ended up adding just a little bit of rice at the end to take the edge off. The egg perfectly tempered down some of the heat. This dish reminds me a little of Loco Moco. I can totally see why this is a popular street food.

    Did you consider cauliflower rice with pad kra pao? The Guardian recipe is quite salty because it is meant to be a condiment for rice. I prefer cauliflower rice raw, just blitzed in the food processor to a grain size. It can be warmed in the microwave but it is more neutral tasting left raw.

    I didn’t consider including cauliflower rice, I’m not a big fan of it because it doesn’t do anything that rice does in a dish (well other than dilute the flavor of the main dish). And “ricing” doesn’t do the cauliflower itself any favors either :# I typically increase the amount of whatever veggie is meant to be in the dish, and I forgot to mention here that I did increase the amount of green beans which worked well.

    I eat very low sodium in general, I typically get less than half the recommended amount of sodium per day — just a personal preference, I find most recipes too salty and usually adjust the salt way down.

    I hadn’t thought about trying raw cauliflower, might try that sometime, thanks for the suggestion! I usually roast my cauliflower in the oven, including for dishes that call for cauliflower rice (or “cauli-mash”). I love the flavor and texture of roasted cauliflower. But I don’t feel that cauliflower in any form would improve pad kra pao 😉

    Healthy low carbs, relatively high on protein meal that is made in 10-15 minutes.
