The philips one is great! Love it. Not really analogous to a deep fryer, but I do use it for some frozen foods - fries, onion rings. Really though I use it more for things like breakfast sausages or bacon, bratwurst, mini quiches or other appies. I have done a small pork rib roast...it was great. Of course for the kids -…

We eat it very frequently...often using the red or black versions instead of the standard. Also use amaranth a lot too...even more nutrious. Primarily I use it in a pilaf. For example if I cook a Mediterranean style fish (ie with olives, capers and tomato) then I'll make add sautéed peppers and onion and herbs. Also make a…

Pulses/beans are great. I use oil can butter/ghee so the are vegan. Serve on quinoa or amaranth vs rice for more protein.

Dinner...and lunches for the week

Most common: egg white fried in a bit of margarine. Toasted English muffin and cheese. I do like scrambled, omlettes, sandwiches, quiches....

Always go alone.....

If not vegan and will eat cheese, then a simple go to for me is a nice risotto. Some favourites: Roasted butternut squash Mushroom, pistachio and arugula Milanese Roasted veggies

Same every day Egg or egg whites cooked with a bit of margerine English muffin Slice lower fat cheese A fruit of some sort: right now pomelos are good, so 1/3 or 1/2 of one or a large apple Espresso If I am hungry then maybe a Greek yogurt to finish.

Works for any of the family: salmon, trout, char. The picture is rainbow trout from last night: salt, herbe de Provence (will supplement with dried fennel), broil. Easy Peasy. Perfect every time.

My go to meal when friends come over...it's simple, quick and all the kids love it.

Was cold outside so needed something g wArm. Butter chicken was for the boys biys

Made a few curries tonight Spinach, paneer (optional) and pickle Potato Daal I don't use butter or any cream...

While more of my cooking is lacto-ovo...isn't too hard for vegan if cooking various Asian cuisines.

Make tons of veggie foods Lots of Chinese...in particular Sichuan. Thai. Indian. Can make an endless number that are all different. Of course adding in eggs or milk gives more options. I've posted many pictures and recipes in the past...

More veggie cuisine: braised pumpkin in garlic, egg tofu, Sichuan eggplant and some greens.

Use it for soups and as a rice cooker....one of my favourite tools along with my immersion blender and Philips Air Fryer

Nutloaf for Christmas dinner..done As loaf and muffin sized

We've made a nut loaf for any number of holidays. Many good recipes online.

Went through a similar transition a few months back success has been so so. Some things I have done: take lunches (usually a salad and meat), drink tea after my first coffee, don't snack...I find that snacking is more about being bored...if I am constantly busy, it isn't an issue. At home I get up early (for me) and go on…

The kids love it with a little garlic and oyster sauce. Shanghai Bok Choi is milder (if that is possible). We will prepare other greens the same way: Gai Lan, Water Spinach. A little more exotic would be snow pea shoots or luffa. I also start by cooking the veggies in a little water and not oil...or if you don't have a big…

My first comment: Stop buying chicken breast and use thighs instead. Only slightly higher in fat, but far tastier and more forgiving when hearing the next day. As for recipes: Countless options. If I am cooking breast, usually because of a sale it was cheaper, I will brine during the day in salt and a bit of brown sugar.…

Dinner for the family...

I would turn the avocado into a good guacamole. Garlic, tomato, lime juice and salt. Add chili if you want a kick. a little water will make more liquid if that is what you want.

For me it is fruit!

Our goal with our three boys was to expand the idea of what kid friendly meant. We were fortunate, we had the opportunity to travel and also living in a major metropolis we have access to pretty much anything. So our kids would rather go out for dim sum, sushi, Ethiopian, Indian vs a chain like Olive Garden or Cheesecake…

Tonight was Sichuan...while this does have fish with the tofu, I'll frequently make without the fish too...otherwise veggie friendly...

back from the cottage...tired of burgers etc...time for some Chinese/Sichuan...

Almost always have the same breakfast every day: english muffin, egg or egg whites, margarine and non fat cheese slice...and an espresso or coffee.

Either Perrier or Diet Coke.

Yesterday had a typical day A couple of apriums, handful of carrots, couple of cups of watermelon, cup of broccoli, kale and cabbage salad (Taylor Baja), Ceasar salad.....
