I have a food question. Lately I've taken to slicing thin coins of zucchini along with sliced mushrooms and setting them into a shallow pan of hot oil.
They deep fry up till very brown and quite crispy. Then I lay them between 2 sheets of paper towel to press as much of the oil out.
They now weigh as light as a feather!
So....my question is if I now place these yummy bits onto my food scale and they come up SO light, is that an accurate amount to enter into my caloric totals for the day? ( yes, I am still counting all the calories )
For example before I fry them the zucchini coins might weigh 40 grams, but after cooking it comes to about 8 grams.
I considered entering a scant tsp of EVOO into the caloric chart to account for any oil that IS still in them.
Oh..... I use these fried crispy veg in a wrap, by piling them all on top of a portion of ricotta cheese that is spread onto the Lavash sheet. I roll it up, they are so good!

Decided on Homemade pizza before we go into this next heatwave and cannot cook

I made a ramen. I sautéed some broccoli that was on its way out, same with the carrots, fresh mushrooms and garlic and added the spicy spice blend from 2 ramen packs and the better than bullion no chicken chicken stock. Finished off with cubed tofu for more protein and added fresh spinach just as I served. Oh sooooooo good. Spicy but not overpowering and a great use of whatever veg you have on hand. Enough leftovers for Dh’s lunch tomorrow

Not sure if it is the hot weather or what but I am so tired this week so tonight I pulled BBQ Pulled Chicken from the Freezer to make Sandwiches.
Still need a side might keep it simple with a Side Salad and maybe a few chips
-
DH's been on a week's R & R, so no real pressure for me to cook, he likes to BBQ when he's off so I've allowed it ( bwahaha) .
My dinner tonight is pretty much a carbon copy of most of my dinners. 2 cups roasted red pepper/cauliflower pureed soup, large garden salad, hummus with cucumber sticks and a small bit of tuna with mayo spread over slabs of zucchini.
Later on I have a last night time snack, which always includes some PEANUT BUTTER! Mmmmm
-
hoping to bbq later, steak & asparagus so far, see what else later
-
We went to the local farmers market last night and ended up at one of fave vegan food trucks for a splurge.

Tonight was Mozzarella Chicken over Pasta, oh my gosh so good, I could eat this for days.
Normally I would have a salad with it but I had a huge BBQ Chicken Caesar Salad for lunch so skipped the Salad with dinner.
-
Cheese cake, not sure where I got the idea. People shouldn't put such ideas in my little head.

Yesterday was a couscous salad with all sorts of clean the fridge out fixings. Tomatoes, cucumbers, green onions, dried cranberries, salad topper from Costco, apples and tofurkey “chickun” pieces with Trader Joes garlicky citrus blend and Kraft vinaigrette. Sooooo good.

Tonight I am trying Instant Pot dump Alfredo, it is a meatless dish so I am going to cook up some Chicken, Mushrooms and whatever veggies I find on the side to add in.
-
its going to be a lazy deck day, reading in the shade and something on the bbq later

@harbie
those colours!! Both the naan pizza and the couscous salad look mouth watering! healthy choices!
Tonight's dinner ( for me only ) will be the trifecta of soup, salad and meatloaf. Also a small bit of hummus with cucumbers sticks and 5 calorie Jello cups topped with light whipped cream for dessert! ,
The guys will dine on high calorie, heavy carb, and high fat things....I won't be a witness to it. ha ha
