It eventually happened, inspiration to make a dinner for myself. DH and DS chowed down on THEIR high calorie version of pasta while I heated
up a serving of my lean gr. chx with chopped veg and Shirataki penne noodles. ( topped with ricotta and fresh grated Parm. )
Accompanying the pasta was some Ryvita crackers yogurted and fruited up and celery logs with P.Butter and crispy sweet crunchies. Mmmmm.

Took a bag with 8 pieces of previously made chicken wontons from the freezer. Dumped them into a carton of No salt added veggie broth, adding diced green onions, celery and zucchini.
Soup for both my lunch and dinner.

Stew, stew, stew, stew. We can eat stew anytime. So versatile. Has all the stewy things in it. Two work meals for the guys and enough for a couple more meals.
They take many other foods ( fruit, salad ) in with them and have told me not to fill the main dish meal. Tough to do their physical work on a full belly.

I could not stop laughing and was kind of turned off because I thought it was a real instructional video of how to make Beef Wellington. ( note: the weirdness starts near the 1:50 mark ) Our DS made it once for us but when I saw this video come up in my news feed of articles I thought I'd compare methods. Too odd, but funny I guess. But, what a waste of perfectly good food just for a joke?
So....I won't be making THAT for dinner tonight.....ha ha ha

I'm going with liver and onions for my dinner tonight.....again! I love the way I make it and no one else here will go near liver. My earlier meals today were focused around trying to eat up as much of the Ricotta Cheese that's in the tub. BB date says June 15th, but I can see it's already changed to a slightly different colour. Ricotta is nice it but uses up my protein allowances and just isn't the same at MEAT! lol Bon Appetite all!

Tonight was Instant Pot Lazy Lasagna with Garlic Bread. Normally I would make a Salad to with it but I had Salad for Lunch and just did not want another salad.
-
I pulled a Homemade Meatloaf from the Freezer, we have some leftover Mac & Cheese in the fridge we will have with it and I will make 0-minute Broccoli in the Instant Pot. Thinking I might have a Salad as well as I prepped a bunch of veggies today.

I was making my dinner time " diet " plate up, ( a lovely wrap with matchstick veg with coho salmon inside ) trimming the ends off the green beans when DH said " oh hey! cook some of those up for me too ". I worded my response all wrong telling him there were only enough of these for my special meals. From the 1 bag I nuke just 20 - 60 grams at a time as my side dish. Even as I was saying it I KNEW that he knew what I meant BUT was still crafting a retort in his head.
As he walked off he replied " just to let you know that when my garden beans are ready for harvest they are ONLY for me! "
OMG, I almost peed because then he went on to say " and don't smell the cut lilacs I placed in that vase, they are also for me only! "
I messed that one up, but I am still laughing.

my hubby requested shanghai noodles and even said without the protein which was a surprise to me as I usually use double or triple the amount of pork in shanghai noodles vs the restaurant specifically just for him.
we're lucky to have a small family owned shop in Chinatown that makes fresh tofu and shanghai noodles.

Was going to make Clubhouse Sandwiches with Oven Fries but after installing the AC units, it seemed like too much work so instead we had Baked Chicken Breast with Oven Fries and Salad.
-
Tonight I am making Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Skillet, it is a pot dish something similar to an Alfredo with Chicken, Orzo & Mushrooms and I add Parmesan because Parmesan is never bad in pasta.
-
DH and I finally ate our lunch at 7 p.m.! So I'll call it dinner and post it here. Our excursions at 3+ grocery and other stores kept us out and about from 3 p.m. till nearly 6 p.m. ( we must walk slower than we think? )
The BBQ was fired up and I cooked up the burger patties I had mixed and formed before we left the house. A cookie sheet of cauliflower slabs sat on one side of the grill and some large Cremini mushrooms went next to the burgers. Watermelon to round out the meal. The Jays game and then Game 1 of the Stanley Cup were our choices for tv entertainment.
So late posting this....lol

Getting back on track with this dinner thing. Tonight is Homemade Pizza with a side Salad.
-
hubby is grilling some hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill.

DH and I just finished a meal for the 2 of us and tbh, there will be NO dinner. I am just too stuffed. Pork kebabs on the BBQ, homemade Turkish flatbread, freshly made tzatziki sauce, grilled tomatoes, pineapple wedges and bell peppers. Small bowl of coleslaw to use up that bag of shredded veg. We laughed because atm we're both trying to fight off an urge to nap!

Last night was Grilled Chicken and veggies (Peppers/asparagus/mushrooms/onions) and perogies.
Tonight- Burgers on the bbq
-
The last of the macaroni salad and vegan dogs for Dh and I had a big bowl of oatmeal.
-
The guys took large fresh salads again for their work meals with a hard boiled egg each and some fruit. I've been focused on getting to as much of the fresh produce ( asparagus, green beans and broccoli ) before they turn. My protein for dinner was Lilydale oven roasted chicken breast strips dipped in a tiny bit of sweet thai chili sauce. Mmmm.
-
Vegan Mac and cheese with romaine salad on the side.
-
yesterday was leftover for us, so today my hubby wants to go to costco as he needs to get gas for his car, they'll have hot dogs, fries, gravy and i'll have wings. Several costco in and around my area no longer have wings on their menus. I hope it's not a trend so i better get some wings while i still can :)
-
my dinner tonight will be a hodgepodge of carefully selected veg/fruit/protein and carbs with as little fat as possible so as not to go over my allowances. Now doesn't THAT sound appetizing? Not! ha ha
-
Managed to make a pretty delicious dinner last night after a REALLY long day. A huge fresh salad with a variety of lettuce and kale straight from my garden, a fabulous if I say so myself, potato salad and bbq tofu.
-
I have a big pot of split pea and lentil soup simmering away. Mmmmmmmm it smells so good and a great meal for a cooler and wetter day today. Plus it’s healthy and super inexpensive :top:
-
Another cooler day meant another soup. Last night was Mexican lasagna soup but with macaroni shells instead of lasagna noodles.
Dh took some pea/lentil soup for lunch yesterday and I gave the rest to my parents.
The leftover Mexican soup will be lunch today.
-
Last night we made Homemade Chicken Tenders with Homemade BBQ Sauce.
I made Potato Wedges in the Air Fryer, I used to make these all the time and not sure I stopped, they were good.
I had a Caesar Salad because I am a sucker for Caesar and BBQ Sauce, they go perfectly together.
As well I had some cut-up cucumber because I could not get the lid on the container.
-
It was a little cool and rainy this morning so I pulled out a Beef Roast for dinner. To go with it we will have Mashed Potatoes, Gravy and Broccoli.
-
Lazy after our pickle ball game yesterday so last night was breakfast sammies on sourdough. McCain hash browns and just egg with a tiny bit of cheese and hot sauce on sourdough bread. Love breakfast for dinner!
-
Fell asleep a couple of times while trying to watch that 3 hour Avatar movie. So at 8 p.m. I awoke to realize I had missed dinner and my late snack. ( HRMPH! )
My goal is to eat my last morsel of food no later than 7:30 p.m. but.....oh well.
I ended up having a 2 cup serving of my red pepper/cauliflower soup, a small piece of Lavash sheet spread with sweet thai sauce and pork loin slices inside. A baby cucumber log with 1 tblsp of just peanuts peanut butter inside and topped with fresh pineapple slices and a half a banana.
Against my better judgement I drank a small coffee. I suspect my breakfast in the morning will be late, no way I'll be hungry before noon now.

Pancakes. Banana chocolate chip pancakes to be exact.
