..making chicken alfredo penne pasta with peas & mushrooms, etc,,,experimenting with my bread maker again lol trying a french loaf today (?)
Original plan got nixed last minute. So new plan Homemade Chicken Tenders with Homemade Air Fryer Fries
Had a mini meat pie that my Mum and sister made-pretty tasty but not as good as I remember my Mum making them when we were kids.
back on the weight loss thing....( again! ) .....forced to. Dr.'s orders. So my dinner was 3 oz. of sk/bl chx breast that was gently air fried to remain juicy, tossed into the food processor with fresh tarragon leaves, a splash of chx broth , 1 tblsp of mayo, black pepper, grated carrot and fine diced celery.
The mixture was all mish mashed into torn baby spinach leaves and iceberg lettuce leaves.
Yummo, surprised myself at the no bread option.
So far today I have downed 2 full pots of decaf green tea. And so it begins.
there's leftover pasta from yesterday but there was fresh mussels at the grocery store this morning, so the pasta may have to wait until tomorrow! Cesar salad and garlic bread from the loaf I made yesterday
One pot creamy mushroom pasta. Made it creamy by blending a can of white beans, garlic and nutritional yeast and a splash of soy creamer. It was sooooooooooogood. Enough leftovers for dinner tonight too!

last night's dinner was a combo of the clear chx soup I had made for lunch ( loaded with veg ) and some of the 6 bean salad I made that was finally chilled enough to enjoy. Mmmm.
I got pulled into house stuff and work stuff this morning and forgot about putting something in the slow cooker for dinner. So on to plan b, Mom asked if I wanted pizza and I figure sure why not, I was planning on putting it on next week's meal plan anyways.
We ended up cooking the roast last night for dinner. I followed most of the recipe but didn't bother with chilling the roast uncovered beforehand. I cooked it at 450 for 15 mins and 325 for 1 hour and 10 mins. The beef was a medium. DH cut up carrots, onions and potatoes and melted margarine in with the veggies... the veggies were nice and moist.

We are having thinly sliced roast beef au jus sandiwches for dinner tonight and homemade onion rings
Made a fab concoction. Spaghetti squash " noodles " with sauteed lean ground turkey basically.
Rounding it out was fine diced sauteed mushrooms, onions, garlic, and red pepper. Mixed in dry herbs ( dill, basil and a Cool Running's no salt, sugar or msg spice, and black pepper ). To give a bit of moisture to it I stirred in 1/8 c. tomato juice.
The squash I nuked was quite large so added only half the contents, I'll be making a second batch of this tomorrow for sure.
I have a pork shoulder in the slow cooker for pulled pork on mini brioche buns and coleslaw
Had a super busy and productive day. Went for a walk in the sunshine, loads of laundry done, kitchen cleaned, upper body workout followed by glutes and legs and my first yoga session with peloton with a ride coming up now. So dinner was simple. Smashed roasted mini Cajun potatoes in a wrap with gardein “chicken “ tenders.
^ It's been a Yoga weekend here too! But I just do it on my own, no Peloton :( although I would LOVE to own one! Lots of leftovers from yesterday, the pulled pork turned out yummy. I made a cream cheese dessert with graham cracker crumbs, chocolate pudding, cool whip, etc so lots to enjoy Football Sunday! and apps in the freezer for the air fryer if needed. Have a great Sunday everyone!
After spending most of the day in the kitchen prepping for the upcoming week I wanted to keep it simple so tonight is Chicken Enchiladas with Homemade Enchilada Sauce. Filling is Shredded Chicken, Peppers, Onions, Mushrooms & Cheddar.
Saturday - KFC
Sunday - home made pizza
Monday - taco biscuit bake with salad
Tuesday - breakfast sausage, home made waffles, strawberries & whipped cream
Wednesday - home made fried rice with steamed California mix veggies
Tonight we are trying Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie, I prepped everything but the potatoes yesterday, so I can just dump everything in the Slow Cooker on my lunch break. I liked this recipe because you make the sauce using a roux and not cream of soup. I even made the sauce yesterday so it is ready to go.
You are supposed to server biscuits on the side but not the biggest fan of biscuits so I made Dinner Rolls yesterday to serve with it.
ha ha ha @SassyAshley that is hilarious as last night I just made my version of that for my new eating plan.

For dinner tonight however, I'll be eating the 2nd portion ( leftovers ) of the spaghetti squash/lean ground turkey mixture.
..roasting a chicken, fries, dressing & gravy and probably roasted carrots..made a large batch of meatballs this morning. Usually I make honey garlic but going to freeze them plain and use them for spaghetti or make the honey garlic sauce later...
It is a little cooler, snowier and drearier today so I am going to whip up a beef stew-I found one small, lonely piece of beef in the freezer so perhaps I should call it veggie-beef stew.
I’ve been on a quesadilla roll lately. It’s a great way to use leftovers.
I made a potato,black bean and just egg scramble for breakfast on Sunday so I made it in to a quesadilla for dinner and today’s lunch was a pizza one with the leftover pizza fixings from earlier in the week.

Still up in the air atm. Might be a 1/2 an apple ( slices ) spread with a tblsp of Jif Dark Roast PB.
2 cups of steamed savoy cabbage ( and trust me I'd love to butter and salt it but I won't )
5 more of my cute pizza dough circles brushed with Passata, sprinkled with Italian seasoning and garlic powder, then scant bits of grated Mozz melted over that.
If I am still peckish I reach for the cucumber and celery sticks.
Just whipped up a pot of homemade soup.
It is a cold windy day here, so tonight I am going to make Baked Potato Soup and we have some leftover Dinner Rolls we can have with it.
Who needs dinner, I have pie.
Still in toothache town, but slowly a bit of relief as the antibiotics get going and the odd pain pill to get me through.
For Thursday's dinner I finished off the sweet potato soup, laid out 8 Tostito Scoop shells, divided 1 oz. of sliced up bits of Bocconcini cheese into them, after melted, topped each with a ground turkey/salsa/taco mixture.
1/2 apple with 1 tblsp PB, 1/2 naval orange, 1/2 mini cucumber.
Afterwards 2 no sugar added Jello cups.
Today was one of those uggg we have to have dinner tonight, types of nights. Did not really feel like cooking so keeping it simple with Steak Sandwiches and Homemade Air Fryer Fries
Nachos much later tonight. I picked up chicken Tenders from Metro for lunch, by the time we got around to eating some, it was almost 3
It’s been crazy here with work and stuff but I managed to get one pic of a dinner. I made a vegan chilli by making the “meat” base using mini portobello mushrooms, cremini and white. Sooooooooo good.

I nearly forgot to post what I made for our day of sittin and watchin.
Pork ribs with almost ALL the fat removed. First a rapid boil of the 2 slabs to soften, then cut into 1 rib bone pieces that I laid on top of a wire rack so they could drip into the roast pan.
Shakes of dry herbs, in at 400 degrees for 30 min. , flip over herb the other side, another 30 min. Last 20 min just to make 'em nice and crispy.
Drool.
Sides are a small potato salad, large tray of cut raw veggie sticks, bowl of sweet seedless peeled and sectioned naval oranges.
Awesome enjoy walkonby! Thanks so much for posting your recipe. I'm heading out to Independent (Loblaws) to pick up some up some ribs next week.
Dins tonight for us a repeat of homemade fried wontons and wonton soup, brown rice and small stir fry with bok choy, carrots and homegrown beansprouts. Dessert, homemade banana muffins
