Had a little more time today than usual so got to play in the kitchen. For lunch I made pasta w a roasted honey it squash sauce (added silken tofu to thicken and add protein), with roasted broccoli and feta on top.
Made some sweet potato soup for lunches, it’s been cold and wet here so I’ve been craving soup for a while. Also made some banana chocolate chip muffins.4 -
Cheese souffle, green salad, charcuterie.

Leftovers management. Egg fried rice made from leftovers from Saturday's dinner party. Coca cola chicken (=cheat's teriyaki) I batch cooked with a girlfriend two weekends ago that I pulled out of the freezer. Vietnamese cahn soup made with spinach.

Salt beef cooked sous vide a month ago and pulled out of the freezer. Sauerkraut from a store bought jar, roast carrots and daikon, roast potato, mayonnaise spiked with nduja.

Sichuan dry-fried green beans and tofu from Michael Natkin's book Herbivoracious. I omitted the sugar and salt (there's enough salt in the soy sauce & Szechuan preserved vegetable), and used 5 Tbsp avocado oil instead of 6 Tbsp vegetable oil. A quick, easy, and very tasty meal.

Sweet potato hummus, inspired by a comment someone made in the Ultimate Accountability Challenge, my "happy home" here on MFP... shout-out to my fellow UAC'ers who hang out in this thread And to anyone who has no idea what I'm talking about, come visit us and join if you like!
I used this recipe but left out the cayenne pepper, so my hummus was NOT spicy. No judgment, but I personally am not a fan of making all things spicy.
Here's my first portion -- sadly flattened by the lid of the container it was in... food prep is about convenience first, and beauty maybe 12th or so Also, for some reason this hummus doesn't photograph well -- it's much more vividly orange in real life. I ate it with red bell pepper and sugar snap peas. I would not do the sugar snap peas again, but the bell pepper was a good addition. Going to try carrots & bell peppers next. I'm tickled pink that someone thought of combining hummus with sweet potatoes, two of my favorite things!

A quick salad: romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, English cucumber, sugar snap peas, walnuts, a little bit of olive oil, and some more of that chicken breast cooked sous vide in wine, herbs, salt & olive oil. I warmed up the chicken breast in the microwave before adding it to the salad. I've been eating a lot of wintery stews lately and I got a little tired of all that brown sameness

Here's the kind of thing I snack on while watching a movie at the end of the day: chilled Honeycrisp apple and peanut butter. (I keep my apples and peanut butter in the fridge.) All weighed/measured, and tracked in my food log, before eating. The best of both worlds: I can eat healthy, lose weight, and still eat "mindlessly" if I want

Carbonade Flamande -- one of the aforementioned brown stews... this is real comfort food for dark, cold winter days or (rainy fall nights). I eat this with the bright Belgian endive/apple/walnut salad that the recipe writer suggests. I've made this dish a few times now, and it always comes out perfect. It's great for food preppers too, just be sure to make a fresh batch of salad every couple days because the salad loses its appeal when you store it too long.

On a typical day I have a couple "real meals" and the rest is what I would call "modular snacks" or gap fillers: smaller meals made up of easily portioned components that are specifically chosen to hit my macro/nutrition goals. For example: deviled eggs, almonds, and pistachios.
Some more of that sous-vide chicken breast, this time eaten cold from the fridge, with walnuts.

Chicken with Peruvian sauce from the NYT cooking site. Sauteed spinach, microwaved carrots pan fried with maple syrup. Air fryer waffle fries were not an unqualified success.

@acpgee - I've been craving sushi since I seen your post last week. I'll have to eat some soon. The Cheese souffle sounds delicious too.
@takinitalloff - I like how you add nuts to everything. Good healthy snacks too.
@drana325 - The chicken and potato curry looks yummy. I like the way you include calories...very helpful.
@rhnlov - not sure if that's Greek chicken but it looks delicious. the mixed veggies too.
@SafariGalNYC - I want some Ahi Tuna wrapped around cucumber.
I have nothing to share but enjoyed seeing what y'all are eating.4 -
Last night's shrimp creole. I thought I'd put it over palmini rice for low-carb, but wound up just eating it straight.
Tonight's taco salad and air-fryer cauliflower with taco seasoning. By stretch the taco flavor onto the cauliflower, I feel like I got more taco meat.
