What did you cook or eat today (September 2024)

But no mention of the container of ice cream!

Was that an appetizer, LOL?

Given my appalling diet over the past 5 days, I decided that today I would eat properly.
Buttered toast with peanut butter and pepper jelly for breakfast.
Cauliflower cheese, potatoes and carrots for lunch.
And if I'm hungry a little later on, it will be goat cheese, watercress, baby lettuce, rocket from the garden and a few slices of tomato.

I am trying to get back to eating healthier as well. Since I retired five months ago I have been hitting snacks during the day. I had salad the past two days for lunch and will again today. Also bought bananas and oranges so I have those instead of things that are not good for you. Picked up microwave popcorn too. Was eating potato chips, protein bars and M&M’s.

Sheet pan meal mostly. Onions, fennel and red bell pepper strips roasted until soft and partly caramelized, shrimp tossed in garlic, oil, butter, and a bit of the juice from preserved lemons. Couscous with chicken stock, pine nuts, garlic, a bit of preserved lemon juice, and chopped up preserved lemon.

I made pizza last night. Awhile back we were out and about and picked up a pizza with Mike’s Hot Honey drizzled on it and it was a game changer. I added some to my pizza when it was done and it made a big difference.

Not tried honey on pizza before but definitely will now. Olives, ham and honey will be my next pizza toppings.

Made chicken piccata tonight. Haven’t made it in forever. Hashbrown casserole with smoked Gouda and bacon cheese. Quite a comforting meal. Didn’t have any vegetables to make. Got watermelon for dessert.

I think it's a spicy honey.

Hey TastyReuben and anyone else who is interested: tomorrow September 18 is national cheeseburger day! McDonald's is selling double cheeseburgers for .50 cents! Bet lines are gonna be so long they'll look like Chick fil A.

Rumminyah with roasted cauliflower, peas and snowpeas

I've been getting rather hungry, so I filled up with some veg.

Yes. I tried a bit in the tip of my finger and it was spicy. On the pizza it adds a sweetness but not much heat of the spices.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. People eat cheese n crackers with quince and other sweet jams. The sweet n salt probably goes together nicely. I’d try it!

It's quite popular at several pizza chains.
