I’m going to make green soup - It’s been so freaking long. The food I’ve been eating here has been atrocious on the health front. I think but you know really who knows?
Wish i knew. Definitively. Would be easier. Do. Or do not.
Whiplash from decades of opposing theory. Who really does know?

I had a bunch of pre-made chicken, basil and Parmesan meatballs. I didn't want them to go bad so I decided to meal prep a soup. Looked at a couple recipes, then free handed it, lol.
407g meatballs, quartered and seared for browning/flavor and to release a little fat for the next step
227g white button mushrooms, quartered
56g finely diced white onion
14g garlic paste
Once those were all sauteed up, I added the liquid.
32oz chicken bone broth
262g 2% Cottage cheese (blended in with some of the broth and the seasonings)
45g Grated parmesan
2tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp black pepper
1tsp Italian seasoning
1tsp lite salt
Its all simmering gently to reduce (I had a bay leaf in there for about 15 minutes, it has since been retrieved).
Just before I am ready to serve, I'm going to add 6oz of roughly chopped baby spinach to wilt.
Im calling it 6 servings, 31 protein, 11 fat and 10 carbs per. Roughly 260 calories.
It smells good, I hope it's delicious.2 -
It is tasty!

Wow! Looks lovely! Could have actually used it a short while ago!
My day started with a remarkably good breakfast and snack. But time changes suck, I didn't manage to grab lunch or dinner during the short layover in Montreal (and wasn't quite hungry yet).... but the short flight to Halifax is snacks only 😵💫 and by local time we won't be out of the airport till 9pm and probably it will be 10pm plus till we get to the hotel🤯🤯🤯
So I ended up raiding their snack cart for two more tamari flavor snacks!🤷♂️
So 3*229=660Cal of those today!!!!🤯🤯🤯
The ginger shots were low cal and potent medicine! Ok: no medicine. But they TASTE like they COULD be, so I'm convinced they're good for me!🤣
Pictures are from this morning! At least the WiFi has been acceptable! 😎 And the passenger experience relatively comfortable...

Man, what airline do you fly PAV? That looks downright tasty 👅. Alaska Airlines just did pretzels and some Biscoff cookies during our four hour flight! Of course we could have paid extra for a meal but considering our over indulgence on the cruise ship….2

Takeout night; meatless almond veggies over rice with chicken & shrimp. Rest and other items stored for leftovers.

Yesterday's supper: 3oz of ready cooked chicken breast, diced small, tiny dab of ginger paste, slightly larger dab of garlic paste, 1.5tsp chicken Bouillon powder, 1.5 cups of water, 1 package of egg white noodles, 1tbsp soy sauce, scallions. I'm about to make it again for lunch today.

Such pretty-and good- food! What I’ve been eating is not photogenic. Bagged salads, cheese and crackers, box cereal, yogurt….. lazy lady dinners. But I am close to getting rid of my excess “cruise” weight so I guess it’s all good.
The other distraction is we’re still having near 💯 degree days. I can’t get inspired to cook or even enjoy hot meals even with the AC blasting away. The heat and humidity manages to work itself in on a subconscious level.1 -
Hawaiian Teriyaki Beef with red pepper, onion and scallion, plus toasted Sesame seeds.
I would skip the seeds next time.

Many years ago I did a bike trip through the East Coast. I left the middle of June without my younger son and his dad put him on a plane when school ended at the end of the month. I picked him up at the airport in Halifax fairly late in the day - probably about the same time you arrived - and we got down to the city Nothing was open on the food front… We were staying in hostel international so there was no restaurant there or snack bar.
One of the places we passed was a pizza place that said it was open 24/7.
My son thought it was strange that it was closed and I explained to him that in the Maritimes the days are 30 hours long so it would be closed six hours of the day.
What a good mom I was.
I hope you had better luck finding food When you left the airport.

Cereal and yogurt with berries. Small packet of nuts and dried raisin sprinkled on top.
Maybe I’ll be inspired by less humidity and the cooler (low 90s) weather. Hoping I can turn off the AC and open windows later next month. Poor AC has been blasting non stop since late March‼️0 -
Nods, still a bear. Hit 90 today for sure, maybe bit higher.2
-
The very next day, big drop to 60, rain and fall weather...
Dinner tonight first soup of fall from fresh 2 gal batch of bone broth. Rest of rotisserie chicken, potatoes and carrots. Flavor palette ~ mild red & black peppers, ginger & curry.2 -
Still hot hot hot here! Although the nighttime temperatures are dipping into the upper 60s finally. I might start thinking about soups soon.0

We have a 2 day music festival this weekend so of course tomorrow is 70 (21) with a 50% chance of rain and Sunday is 74 (23) also a 50% chance of rain. I was planning on shorts and tank tops, because it's not all still in the mid 80s (30ish) and humid as heck. I went and bought a flannel yesterday, cause it fits the vibe, and for warmth, lol.2
-
Funny how folks in the south think 70s are cool weather. When I lived in Maine people thought it was full on summer. Time to get out tank tops, go swimming and eat popsicles.
Now 70s are winter temperatures. Go figure.0 -
lol for sure! rarely wear a jacket until it's in the 50s which coming out of winter always feel balmy. after the 90s, 60s is feeling perfect! Our morning clouds burned off, so looking fine.
the news out of the hurricane tho, not fine. some of the areas are devastated.2 -
So for my festival today, the high is 67, 1e-15mph winds and it's super damp. Very unseasonable.2

Today:
Lemon Italian Ice protein shake: 1 scoop protein powder, I scoop unflavored collagen, 24oz water.
Giant homemade ice Caramel Macchiatto: 3oz decaf Espresso, ice, 1/4 cup 2% fairlife milk, 4 pumps sugar-free vanilla syrup and sugar-free vanilla caramel syrup (thicker) drizzled on top. This is a 32oz cup, so about 28oz of it is water.
Pre-packaged brisket. So good. A serving of some cheesecake protein pudding I made (it was my son's 22nd birthday yesterday, he and my husband had real cheesecake, lol) with macerated raspberries on top/mixed in.
Thermos of hot chai. 3/4 tsp ground chai, 4 pumps sugar-free salted caramel syrup, 1/4 cup fairlife 2% milk, 20oz hot water.
Cottage cheese (3/4 cup) with cucumber, tomato, onion, red wine vinegar and chunky salt/pepper/garlic seasoning on top.

Salads with shredded rotisserie chicken. It’s still miserably hot 🥵 so not much inspiration to cook.
It was just shy of 💯 today. Looks like 90s for the next week so…..

My son at the last of the brisket! Monster!
So I had Raspberry BBQ chicken, which is tasty but I find the texture a little off.1 -
340 calorie pizza on a "zero" carb tortilla. 41g protein.

Ramen? Beef soup with scallions and noodles? Looks 😋!

Its actually chicken, but I used bone broth and soy sauce so it's dark.2

Looks good! I need to try bone broth. Sometimes I just get in a rut of same old boring meals…..nicsflyingcircus wrote: »Its actually chicken, but I used bone broth and soy sauce so it's dark.

Hmmm..... didn't all broth use to come out of bones????🤯🤔😎1

Well, that Q made me wonder... as i also think of broths/stocks made from bones. I think of the terms interchangeably. And, think of the 'new2me' bone broth name as the same as broth/stock made from bones = equivalent and interchangeable...
Quick search said 3 different types with different names so all 3 different by definition, technically speaking.
for example, fish or chicken without bones can be simmered with herbs/veggies to make what is known as broth. (Same with veggies only for a vegan broth).
Bones with aromatic veggies & herbs cooked for 1-2 hours is what we often think of as broth, is technically 'stock' - has a richer flavor and some development of minerals and collagen from the bones... when chilled, a little thicker/gelatanous.
Bone broth with comparable veggies has been cooked down much longer, minimum 12 hrs up to 48 hours. The longest/strongest 48 hr type, per cup, has higher protein (10g?), minerals and collagen. The longer cook also produces a much firmer gelatin like mass when chilled. And also, a higher risk of higher levels of salt and leached toxic chemicals/metals (even lead) depending on source ingredients more particularly in commercial bone broth. So this might be worth going with organic. Search will bring up more info, and brand specifics.
Personally, i tend to use 'made from bones' broth and stock, simmered 1-2 hours in my language interchangeably, and have not used or made the 2 other types.1
