I'll have to try it that way! I struggle to find a sauce that goes with it.

Lunch: Veggie Omelet with swiss cheese, ketchup on top at a cafe in town with mom.

Dinner: Brought home a veggie sammich on white bread from deli in town. I'm gonna ask them if they have hard boiled eggs to add to my sammich next time. I need more protein, but not a single restaurant in town uses fake meats besides Burger King!

We went to this little sports bar because my husband wanted to eat out someplace not fancy. Thankfully, they had Lenten specials, so I got the fish fry, which was pretty good.

Lunch was pancakes, and supper will be Cajun style Alfredo with chicken and sausage.

Last night I had a tiny amount of mushy mixed vegetables, a few bites of a greasy grilled cheese and some cole slaw. I should of had 2 packages of plant based meatballs and a package of chicken tenders in their freezer that I brought but they could not be found. That's the third time they just threw my food away that I brought and paid for because they won't give me enough protein. All they seem to want to give me anymore are greasy grilled cheese sandwiches and a salad made with lettuce and ranch dressing. For awhile they got really good but that has stopped.

I don't recall if it was suggested but can you bring a mini-fridge or microwave in your room? That way you could keep your own food and not have to rely on the kitchen staff who throw your food out.

Beef stew in the Foodi pressure cooker (it's an experiment, not my Foodi, but I'm trying it out). Pickled cabbage, applesauce, homemade bread. Dessert will be Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate cake with whipped peanut butter frosting.

I'm trying to talk DH into trying a new diner someone told us about yesterday but he's being stubborn. If we do go it will be for lunch and I'll probably be stuffed so not planning dinner. If we don't go I think I'll just make grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato basil soup.

I have a microwave and a mimi-fridge in my room and I want to get a toaster if I can. Some of the veggy meat cannot be cooked in a microwave and they taste better when they cook the food and add a sauce or flavoring. Tofu taste better when it is stired fried or cooked on a stove top. Also I need to get out of my room and socialize with people. I do eat some meals in my room and sometimes I have food delivered.

Maybe you can get a toaster oven. Too bad they don't have a stove that you are allowed to use, like some college dorms.

Lunch and Dinner: Dad cooked a big batch of a rice and veggie dish in his instapot. It's really good. I added melted cheese and those jalapeno cornbread crackers from TJMaxx that are so yummy.

I rejuvenated the leftovers of the breakfast pizza with some extra cheese and baked in the oven.Turned out so yummy!

You might consider a single-eye hot plate, that would allow you to stirfry.

Lunch was waffles, and dinner will be my darliing chicken strips, mac and cheese, and corn!

They do have a stove in the activities room I guess I could use if I wanted to cook pasta or bake something.

That could work but I'm in a wheel chair and the counters are high so I would have to stand to stirfry. That's just too labor intensive for me. I like their stirfrys with the tofu I provide. Tofu is cheap and I don't mind if it gets lost sometimes.

Last night they gave me a stirfry with tofu.

You're right. Tofu is pretty cheap. I can get 5 servings out of one block. Thanks for the reminder. I need to buy it more often now that I can drive. Plus some places will even ship it.

Definitely consider a toaster oven over a toaster, especially if you can't stand. We use ours so much!

Shuemei soup that also contains Angel Rice noodles, parsley and Green onions.

We didn't make it to the diner yesterday but fortunately I talked DH into going today. We both loved it and, best of all, there was a cute coffee shop right around the corner. Believe it or not I had too much caffeine between coffee at the diner and a cortado at the coffee shop. I'm stuffed from going out to lunch so planning to just have a large sweet potato for dinner with strawberries and kiwi afterwards.

I grilled a ribeye that the girls and I enjoyed. I cut up about 1/3 of it into little pieces and added that to their dinner as a topper.
