What's For Dinner? - 2021

They are good with peanut butter & jelly on them too, but they taste like shredded wheat cereal.

LOL. Maybe they need milk and sugar then.
I'll have to try them with peanut butter and jelly though.

Didn't actually have my Triscuits and carrots and hummus for lunch, as my carrots were getting "fuzzy". So they ended up in the green bin. Worked out ok, though, as I had an avocado that was ripe, so I ended up using half and having avocado toast.

For dinner I had soup and a piece of cornbread, and a small gala apple.

I'm just having a Boomerang brand steak and potato pie. Not as good as the meat pies from down under, but a decent substitute. I bought some non dairy ice cream for later!

Aren't those vegetarian?! I have one in my cart at Walmart for when we do a pickup again. Here's a pic:

When you only use half of a avocado what did you do with the other half? I always ate the whole thing because I did not want it to go bad. What goes on avocado toast besides avocado?

Last night the only thing I could pick was cottege cheese and fruit (cantaloupe & honeydew melon). I did not want the fruit because cantaloupe interfers with my IBS-D so I asked for cottege chesse and a side salad. Instead they me the fruit and no salad. At least it was better than it has been. I ate a litle bit of the fruit.

Tonight they gave me two large portions of cheese manicotti, a salad and a roll. The manicotti was delicious. It taste like it came from The Olive Garden.

Thank GOD, you finally got fed! I can't tell you how relieved I am. It sounds like a very satisfactory dinner, so now we know that they CAN do it, they just DON'T. Rat-finks.

Tonight? Hotdogs. With cheese. And onions.

Not all of them. It looks like they have a vegetarian line, but mine was with actual meat.

So my Ben and Jerry's mint chocolate cookie ice cream made with sunflower milk is pretty good. I also got a peanut butter half baked made with almond milk.

Last night I made Beef Noodle Bake (but used ground turkey instead of ground beef). Oldest had 3 helpings!!

Yeah, its hit or miss around here. Tonight they are having egg rolls and fried rice. I would love to have them but I'm sure there will contain meat and eggs. I have not had Chinese food in over a year.

My brother is going to order some plant based multi vitamins and some protein tablets.

I quickly put the 2nd half in a container and put it in the fridge. I leave the skin on, and don't remove the pit, so that there's less areas to go brown. Then I use it the 2nd day, and just scrape off the brown parts. I've read that brushing lemon juice on the edges will delay browning, but I haven't tried that yet.

There's tons of elaborate ways to make avocado toast, but usually I just mash the avocado and just spread it on the toast. I have sliced the avocado and topped it with cheese, which I melt in the toaster oven. Another time I topped the mashed avocado with sliced strawberries. Today I may slice the avocado and make a sandwich with cheese, tomato and maybe a bit of onion.

Googling avocado toast will find tons of different variations. Here's one pic Google found:

They look pretty good. I would like it with just smashed avocado and salt and pepper or the mediterranean style. It's funny but I like chickpeas but not hummus.

I definitely need to cook the pork tenderloin today. I did not feel like cooking it yesterday.
I did bake a sweet potato; so, all I have to do is decide on veggie....

Yesterday, I saw a video clip from Jacques Pepin; who was auspiciously cooking a port tenderloin..
He cut it into 4ths.. kind of mooshed down the pieces, pan frying for 3-4 minutes each side.. It looks so good, and easy..

I think I will try that method for this tenderloin.. kind of like a pork steak....

Of course he added a sauce with it.. some onion, V8 juice, a bit of water to deglaze the pan... but easy...I think there was another ingredient.. but it looked really good.

M maggiedemi You could probably make it from a regular recipe, but omit the pork? I always use lots of peppers and water chestnuts. You could also add sliced carrots, I'm thinking, as well as extra pineapple. What about subbing tofu for the pork? I don't care for tofu, but a lot of people like it.

artiemom You were talking about Easter dinner. Last month when we were grocery shopping, our store had spiral hams for a very good price. I bought two and we'll have one for our Easter dinner. The other will work for later on this summer. As for your pork roast, great minds think alike!!

Tonight I think we'll have tuna melts. And maybe a few French fries. Or cole slaw. Yeah, cole slaw instead of the fries. Or, maybe in addition to. Yeah, that works.

Here's a pic of today's lunch. I should have cut the tomato and onion into smaller pieces, but, oh well.

Also a pic of the avocado half showing the amount of browning after 24 hours.

It's funny but I like chickpeas but not hummus.

It took me a while to find a brand of hummus I liked. I also discovered I prefer it plain, and not garlic, or other flavoured.

Not sure what's for dinner tonight. Possibly rotini and broccoli, with jarred tomato pasta sauce.

Your lunch sure looks good.

The avocado looks good for being cut 24 hours ago.

I used to like hummus but I ate so much of it when I was vegan I can barely stand the sight of it. I used to like it with garlic and red peppers.

Maybe you should try it with Triscuits.

sunflower milk

I've never heard of that. I wonder if they sell it in cartons. I love sampling new milks.

plant based multi vitamins and some protein tablets.

I use Deva multi. I never heard of protein tablets. I use Now Foods for Calcium/Magnesium tablets. That's all I take.

What about subbing tofu for the pork?

Thanks for the ideas. I tried a marinated tofu from Aldi that was amazing, but they never had it again.

Breakfast: Finished up the Bakery on Main apple walnut granola with 1/3 cup 2% cow milk. It wasn't really granola, it was grain-free, so they used bean crisp flakes instead of oat clusters. I don't really like flake cereal anymore unless it has nut butter in it.

Lunch: Veggie sammich on Aldi brioche bagel toasted, 2TB mayo, 1/2TB El Yucateco green habanero hot sauce, Aldi swiss cheese block sliced, tomato, onion, mixed greens, diced Pinata apple, slivered almonds. I prefer sliced almonds over slivered, these are too tiny and stick in my teeth.

Dinner: Leftover spaghetti cake casserole. I added a diced Aldi veggie burger, canned mushrooms, 1 pinch spicy fire salt, 1/2TB El Yucateco green habanero hot sauce, 1/2TB mustard, and microwaved it. Yum! I joined a mustard page on Facebook and they put mustard in everything, even pasta, so I tried it. It was great. This is my new mustard:

currently eating chinese takeout, feel bad because everyone else is eating healthy

Finally finished up the pizza and I made a big salad.

I made this lemon oregano salmon with spinach rice and tzatziki recipe today.

I basically get all my recipes from mealime. I have the app set to filter out recipes with ingredients I don't like.
