I know the wonders that diet has done for you and I salute the discipline you've shown in following it, as well as the results you've achieved.

thank you!

for dinner tonight i mixed together...

7 oz turkey sausage

1 1/2 cup mixed veggies that included : asparagus, onion, fresh garlic, tomato, celery, jalapeno pepper, red sweet pepper.

pan fried in a wee bit of olice oil - everything was diced.

Catfish dry-sauteed with creole spices and steamed cauliflower.

a steaming cup of medifast hot cocoa

Ugh. Tonight's feast: a bottle of gatorade, two corn dogs with mustard, and spinach salad.

Welcome to The Galley, LotG.
Not so sure I'm enthused about your meal though...

The spinach salad
Has good nutritious value
The rest...not so much

Well if you wish to prove me with more cash to get some good food, feel free.

ah...
I completely understand. Our own food stamps barely make it through the month.

If you have freezer space, I recommend chicken leg quarters at 29 to 59 cents a pound when bought in the 10 lb. bag on sale. Split the quarters and use the drumsticks multiple ways: fried, grilled, smoked then glazed and broiled with teriyaki, etc.

The thighs can be used whole, skinned, skinned and deboned to be flattened in to cutlets which can then be substituted for boneless/skinless chicken breasts in recipes, boiled for stock along with the bones that were removed from others and then shredded for recipes that call for cooked chicken, etc.

I have found leg quarters to be one of the most frugal of meats when on an extremely limited budget.

And don't be afraid to try, it tastes like chicken.

Hi, everyone! If you're like me, you're probably wondering: why do pancakes have to be so sweet? The thought of syrup and sugary jams probably turns your stomach, but what can be done? Pancakes are so bland, how could it possibly provide a refined taste? Well, wonder no more! By adding garlic powder and shredded cheddar to the pancake batter, you can transform your breakfast from average-American, to English aristocrisy!

Certainly!

Pancakes, and crepes for that matter, can definitely be savory.


yummm

sugar free popsicle - red. (i'm guessing fruit punch?)

Sambuca on ice.

Well, it's not really eating, but it has an anise flavor and herbs are food so technically this drink is dinner. And if I keep on drinking breakfast as well.

Following Vader's theme...

Three queen-sized pimento olives from the gin martini I made to keep me company while I make dinner.

What's for dinner? Sorry, that's a different thread.

Edit: added bacon to that martini. Will post dinner info to the WFD thread later.

sugar free popsicle - yellow (pineapple flavor)

Poppyseed-lemon surprise muffins. I made kolacky at New Year's with canned poppyseed and apricot filling. There's always about a cup of filling left over after I make the cookies. I decided to use up the poppyseed filling by making muffins. I added a tablespoon of lemon juice and a teaspoon of dried lemon peel to the muffin batter, and put a dollop of poppyseed filling inside each muffin. Very tasty.

I still have about a cup of apricot filling left. Maybe I'll make apricot-ginger surprise muffins next weekend....

Made some "sushi" (it's in quotes because to me, true sushi uses raw fish. This used tempeh). The roasted nori sheets I used were quite chewy. I also found out that the "fish smell" sushi has comes mostly from the rice and nori. I also used avocados and green onionstalk strips. Still have some left over for lunch to morrow, when I will eat it with some horseradish wasabi.

Garlic chicken Kiev - the real processed crap. The closest this chicken has ever been to a chicken is it's arse.

Turkey ham with pineapple-ginger glaze (pineapple juice, ground ginger, allspice and a little soy sauce), mashed potatoes, Caesar salad from a bag, and homemade baking-powder biscuits with butter and honey. And Easter candy for dessert. Happy Ostara, y'all.
