Made some beef soup today, It's been a year since the last one. Well...I really missed it, took some fortitude to not go for a second serving! :D

Surprise Greek food delivery..this is definitely not fair...for the rest of us! :D

Today is ground turkey burgers, vegetable rice and (half a) τηγανόψωμο (feta cheese frybread). Yummy, but...1150kcal in total. Oh well!

No, I bake them. This is a very popular dish here called Γίγαντες "Giants" in Greek, using giant greek beans, a variant of the runner/butter bean. Here is an easy recipe to follow by Akis. I make them in a similar way, not using that recipe tho but my Mom's. <3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FMNwcwFa8U…

Today is the mean combo of beans and sardines! They go very well together too!

Not a lot of time today, so I made a three pound salad with some tuna and potato thrown in for good measure! I think I need a soda water now lol. Having said that, that mountain is less than 900 calories too! O_o

Time for some Fasolada (bean soup). Made a big batch, should last for the week! C:

It's the traditional stew made with dry chickpeas. No eggs involved, but lots of lemon juice. The pressure-cooker does all the work really..but I also use a little tahini for taste and thickening the stew.

It is starting to get a little colder here, so chickpea soup it is!

Pretty similar, you can view this as "moussaka light" in a way. It is also far faster and easier to make (a must for an idiot like me) :D Have in mind that we also use a vegan/fasting version of papoutsakia here, substituting the minced meat with mushrooms+more veggies.

Man, it's been some time since I did a stir-fry too, good idea! Papoutsakia day today!

Another raid in the freezer for some more green bean stew. <3

The chicken soup is done but I still have to kinda watch out due to the surgery. So I made a batch of lentil soup, should last till the weekend at least. C:

Ah many thanks, and your potato salad looks extremely tasty and filling. Here's to many, many more (over the years to come) ! <3

Had a surgery on Tuesday (umbilical hernia repair + cyst removal) so..soup it is for the next week. Made a big batch of chicken rice soup, should last for some time. I won't complain though, I love soups! And it is getting a little chilly out there, so right on time too! :p

Actually I didn't know about that brand (we don't have this here), thanks for sharing. It looks pretty convenient if you are pressed for time. . Speaking of which, today was "too busy to cook" day..so half a chicken it is! (with the standard two pound salad of course)

It's basic saffron rice, just added some shredded regato cheese and pepper flakes in the plate. We produce a lot of crocus here (mainly in the Kozani area, the region is well known for it), so it is very easy to get a hold of some. I tend to use the threads in this one: Saute some basmati rice in a little butter after…

My butcher from time to time makes a pretty mean pancetta roll..I had to get some! Some saffron rice paired pretty well with it (first time I try this combination). Will have to do this again!

Quinoa with chickpeas, peppers and apricots today! I also had some cooked chicken deli meat in the fridge that was about to go bad..so I added it in. I regret nothing. :p

Roasted lemon sauce ram (the ram comes from my uncle in the village) and potatoes today. I don't have the chance to cook/eat this often (about 3-4 times a year), but I always look forward when it's the time for it. Delicious!~

Went to mothers' today, she grilled a couple of fresh breams. her salads are pretty small tho :pensive:

Thanks, for the kind words but yeah, I'd wish. It's just some dressing Yooly! :D and, specifically those two: I do like the texture and taste of steamed food, but - to be frank - you need a little lubrication there. Bottled dressing does the job in a pinch. :)

Steamed Dover Sole (bought frozen) with veggies today.

Actifry takes about 35-40 minutes for a batch of fries, a little less for vegetables. What Yooly posted is/uses a different system that takes a lot less. ;) The whole idea for these kind of machines tho is that they do passive cooking, you simply fire and forget. Therefore it doesn't really matter if it takes 10-15 minutes…

20 minutes is pretty good really, I need to get me an air-fryer too. Mother has a Tefal Actifry which is also pretty good, but takes a little more time to do stuff. Today I cooked some fresh sardines I got from the market, and de-frosted a batch of pinto beans I had made a couple of months ago. You cannot beat fresh fish…

Well its basically glutinous rice (best thing for the job at hand) with the insides of the vegetables, garlic, onion and some herbs/spices. Pretty basic but very yummy! Good luck with the rusks, I have never ventured into learning how to make some. :D

Stuffed veggies today (γεμιστά), since the summer has ended it was the last chance to make a batch (this is a summer dish for us). Before and after preparation

I'm eating the same. I think it's a combination of three things. 1. Two days of rest. 2. Diuretic pill. 3. A lot more exercise this August, since I had free time. I'll have to adjust the calories slightly upwards, I'll wait another week though because September will be a little less exercise heavy.

Never take a diuretic two days before weighing yourself... :p Age: 41 Height: 167cm - 5'6'' SW: 177.8 kg - 392 lb - 64.5 ΒΜΙ (May 2020) GW: 74.4 kg - 164 lb - 27 ΒΜΙ LW: 74.1 kg - 163.4 lb - 26.9 ΒΜΙ CW: 72.2 kg - 159.2 lb - 26.2 ΒΜΙ Variance: -1.9 kg / -4.2 lb / -2.56% TBW (in 3 weeks) OL: 105.6 kg - 232.8 lb - 38.3 BMI -…
