Food inspiration, or what's for supper?

No penance here but garlic mash with mix vegetables to at least try to stay within calories today1

Today I held back at breakfast. Fruit, scrambled eggs, 1 raisin bread and yogurt. Lunch was a turkey burger with small Cole slaw. It’s still more than usual calories and I can’t calculate the numbers because I didn’t see what was happening in the kitchen. BUT I made an effort today.1

I discovered I had "beyond burgers" in the freezer! Had a couple for lunch! On a couple of 30g slices of bread I stole from the dog!!!!
With 7g mustard and 21g white onion

I like the taste of Beyond Burgers. Nutritionally pretty similar to beef BUT Beyond burgers have 5x the sodium.1

But but I still have 4!🤯🤔1

Eat ‘em if you got ‘em! It’s what happens when trying to get umami flavor into bean products.
I can’t kvetch about salt and swelling after the past week of restaurant food in New Orleans. Delicious but salty. Not to count air altitude swelling. Much water drinking and peeing ahead!1 -

But - what is it? Obviously a soup and good calories but what’s in it. How much is a serving?0

What's a serving?🤯 I have trouble eating more than half (so about 750g) of one of the glass locks in one go.
So probably 500g (each glass lock in 3) would make sense for you Yooly.
I just tend to log one of them (~1525g) for the day and make it the "main meal" 🤷♂️ I did "cheat"! since the label and added a pouch of konjac sticky rice in 3 of the containers. So just under 100g or 60 Cal added to 3 out of the 4 containers. The sticky rice is a mix of konjac and actual rice so it does have SOME calories.... jst a lot fewer. And it is ready to eat, no cooking needed.
Soup was simple. Half an onion (from memory about 125g) about 13g of oil spray for browning everything added incrementally, 700g "all natural fully cooked honey ham, 18%," --which probably means traces of ham in the ham but whatevs-- two bags of frozen "vegetables for soup", so just over 1500g, 60g of potato starch for thickening in the end, and an assortment of no salt broth ready made and powdered plus water🤔🤷♂️ the ham is salty enough for the whole thing 😂😂😂
so ham and veggies! Would have done chicken but ham faster to slice uniformly-ish. Plus bought two on a buy one get one free 😉🤣🤣🤣 (Sobeys/Safeway compliments have a bag of veggies for soup and one for veggies for spaghetti. Used the soup ones)1 -
Looks like maybe perhaps if we’re lucky it might be soup weather next week. It was 86 yesterday 🥵. Only 75ish today. But might fall into the sixties with rain by Monday. 🎉
The AC is still pumping nonstop since late March. It’s tired and so am I.0 -
Definitely no AC going on here! 🤣 It's a bit too wet for that! 🤯1

Lunch was some Wasa crackers with thin sliced ham & grainy mustard. Crunchy and satisfying. Tonight it’s a big salad - greens, tomatoes 🍅, green onions, low cal dressing topped with surimi for protein.2

Nice hot summer food!🤣2

I had egg white noodles with sweet and spicy pork, fire roasted peppers and onions (from a freezer bag) and soy sauce and scallions.1
-
I've not heard of egg white noodles, Nic. Going to look those babies up!1
-
Not gonna lie, they're expensive. But since I had to focus so hard on protein, they're a great noodle substitute.0
