Come as you are party: what did you REALLY eat for dinner last night? - Page 3

DH and I are watching what we’re eating, he’s lost 13 pounds in two weeks, me, well…

 

 

This was dinner tonight. I roasted a huge Turkey Breast and portioned it off for multiple meals.  I added sautéed fresh spinach with garlic and Olive oil and Hawaiian or Okinawa Sweet Potatoes .  See the purple, that’s the potato, delish!!!

 

 

To start the meal off we had a smallish bowl of my Stuffer Pepper Stoup.

still counting calories... 4oz roasted pork loin-120cal+4oz roasted sweet potato-103cal+1/2C steamed red swiss chard with garlic-17cal= 240cal       AND IT WAS DELISH!!

I haven't posted here in a while mostly because I haven't gotten in the kitchen a lot lately. 

 

Last night decided to get creative I guess, and cut down some bacon into small bits and cooked it mixed it with some cream cheese Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Stuffed that in a chicken breast, breaded it with a little panko and cooked it in a pan then finished off in the oven. Was incredibly delicious but very rich so I had a simple side salad with a little lemon juice on top (I don't eat dressing) 

 

Turned out rather good, and felt amazing to be back in the kitchen 

Cereal. I got home late from work last night.

fried raviolis dipped in vodka sauce I had in the freezer....raw zucchini salad ribbons with goat cheese, kalamatas,  drizzled in a lemon vinegrette.

Just got back from vacation. So I haven't posted a lot. Tonight we are having Salmon, just not sure how I want to prepare it. It is 12 degrees outside so I'm not looking forward to grilling. Perhaps I will blacken it on the stovetop and finish in the oven.

Made a butternut squash and sage agnolotti with chanterelle mushrooms

need i say more

Tonight dinner was pan seared salmon skin on (crispy) with cannellini beans bacon and shiitake mushroom broth

Those last couple of pictures look really good!  I did a beef stroganoff with oyster mushrooms over rice, with asparagus.  The asparagus didn't look that great, but it wasn't bad with butter and a splash of balsamic.  I'm looking forward to some better stuff as we get into spring.

I know this sounds very pedestrian to some of the folk here at CT, but DH and I have been on a very restrictive diet for well, him 8 weeks and me 6.  I made a pork loin roast with garlic-pa-loosa, roasted Yukon gold potato wedges and fresh string beans and BUTTER!!!  Dessert, yes desert, was Baileys Irish Cream and Coffee brownies.  We have not eaten such tasty goodness (other than the green beans, no butter, plain jane) in a while and it was beyond good!

 

We had a very busy day, went to Costco to do our quarterly shopping expedition.  So, I thought ahead and got one of their rotisserie chicken, cheap and friendly!  I added some fresh zucchini, sautéed with shallots, garlic and sweet Red Bell Peppers that were roasted and leftover.  Throw in a tomato and onion salad with a load of fresh flat leaf Italian Parsley and you’ve got dinner Friends!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Didn't feel like cooking much last night, so it was scrambled eggs with some smoked trout, on toast with fresh tomato slices.  Just what we felt like as it turns out. 

Tomato and avocado salad; herbed (parsley, garlic-chives) hamburger steaks, cooked rare, with red onion marmalade; green beans with macadamias; sourdough bread (from the supermarket); egg-cream.

Oooh is this the all-natural chicken from stop and shop, Kane? they make really good rotiserrie.

approx. 2 kilos of my bitter spice, dry rub ribs. My wife thinks there should be some kind of vegetable with that but I disagree.

That chicken is from Costco, Pollopicu

FWIW ...

Kane in Hawaiian means man

Ohe in Hawaiian means thin

And over course the girl in AZ is pretty straight forward

… I’ll take the Ohe …
