What did you have for dinner II?

[VolNExile]

Thank you!!

If you're the one who does the cooking (and deciding every night), it gets real boring real fast. But I love being able to put the pic here in this thread. It seriously helps my frame of mind doing a task that I don't particularly love to do.

Volnation is so good for my soul, in so many ways!

Posting a pic of dinner helps me behave and keeps me honest.

I am NOT posting a pic of my bathroom scales every Friday though!

It was! And it was a bag of frozen cauliflower!

Weird-looking dinner, but it’s out of the way, and the salad was tasty.

Grilled romaine hearts, chopped after grilling and topped with diced and sautéed shallots, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, garlic, mushrooms, crumblEd bacon, and Parmesan. And a burger patty and beef dog on the side, because why not.

And now we’re down to 5 1/2 Romaine hearts!

There is a place here that has the best salad using grilled romaine!

I’m starting to love frozen cauliflower, after seeing how a head of fresh cauli triples in size as soon as you try to fit it in the fridge.

That's good cause I'm going to have a gain tomorrow. Stressful week at home and I was snacking! Been so good the last two weeks with that.

Saw a joke that said
" I hope everybody remembers when bathing suit season gets here that the gym workout facility Covid lockout occurred during Reeses chocolate peanut butter egg season, so not my fault".
Tonight we had a variation of oysters rockafeller with oysters, panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, creamed spinach and topped with some crumbled bacon. Served with a couple of sliced of a sourdough bread my wife made tonight.

LOVE oysters Rockefeller!!

Wouldn't that be great? Got a great marinade for frog legs. They grill up so darned good. Best of all...the family doesn't want to try them so I get 'em all!

I've been going to Raffaels's since it opened. I was in middle school back then. Went to school with one of the grandkids.

Last night, I had leftover white bean chili and a heal of crusty Tuscan wheat bread. I got to thinking a bout the places of origin for the spices used - South Asia, The Middle East, the Northern Mediterranean, Mexico. This was some world chili, y'all.

So jelli!!!

I have rosemary and thyme that comes back every year. But I've only been able to grow basil once in the last five years. So frustrating!!

Doctored up frozen cheese pizza - added shave onions, green peppers, sweet Italian sausage with spinach, black pepper, and milled Parmesan cheese.
