I came out to the neighborhood dive bar, just to get out of my house for a little bit. going to stay and watch some baseball. debating ordering a small greasy pizza, which will mean leftovers of greasy pizza. I had planned to start tomorrow with cutting out eating and drinking like a frat boy. pizza is pretty much the only thing more solid than a basic salad that I can get here. too much seafood.

eh, it's fine. I'm WFH Monday, so I can start then and it will still kind if feel like the weekend. I'm fairly well set for healthy eating otherwise.

Chiv, it looks yummy. Looked for something similar at Wmt this morning, but nothing. May check Amazon or try to find a recipe for it online.
Thanks.

pizza has been ordered. I just feel gross lately, and I know it's how badly I've been eating. I mean, I bring lunch and ignore it in favor of a slice of pizza (you see my problem here...) for $2 at the caf. I've been justifying it to myself that it's all veggies, but it's still pizza. I didn't get my bike out today, but squished in a stop at the salon for some needed waxing TLC. tomorrow is still supposed to be great in the am, will be taking the bike out for sure. hoping to better the 5mi of last time, but it's been awhile. weather turned to shit and I didn't get out again. oops....this is the dinner thread. sorry. ETA: this will do. after snapping the pic, I unscrewed the cap of crushed red pepper and went to town. go big or go home.

Thanks. idk if this will help, and sorry but you'll have to copy the link. I'm on my phone. looks like you can buy online from the Pacific website via third party. Target popped up for me when I clicked 'buy online' www.pacificfoods.com/our-products/hearty-soups/organic-poblano-pepper-corn-chowder/

Our super Target carries groceries like regular grocery store. Other Target in mall carries stuff like a convenience store - milk, eggs, ice cream, sodas, snacks - you get the picture!

I use the Target app to check for foods they carry in-stock, sometimes just to figure out which aisle they are in. It has saved me a few extra trips, although my local store does carry a lot of groceries.

I'm on my own for dinner tonight, so it's going to be tuna casserole. My kid hates tuna. I can take leftovers to work tomorrow for lunch.

We had a chef salad, I tore up the kitchen looking for the large container of garlic salt, even hubs helped, we never found it so had to use salad dressing. We usually do oil, rice vinegar, and garlic salt. I have NO idea where I put it, I lose so much stuff, losing my mind I guess.
Then for dessert a cheese cake slice I got from Sam's, 530 calories. We left the box in the freezer, will thaw a piece at a time to eat or like hubs said we will just pig out on it till its gone. Now I'm having a glass of water, I feel so full of all the crap we have been knoshing on today.

Fresh garlic is best, though.

I had powder, we talked about it but was afraid it would be to strong. Guess I should have tried it, we rarely use commercial dressings anymore. I did have ranch and some Italian, will stock up on the other I guess.

I just snacked on a slice of cold pizza from last night. I made my big meal around 3pm, roasting a tray of veggies and tossing with pasta and leftover turkey. I've got a couple more meals for the week now, too.

A few of us went to Mimi's Cafe after our spring choir performance yesterday. The corn chowder soup was a perfect way to end a wonderful afternoon.

after having a bagel with the rest of the department this am, and a slice of veggie pizza just now, I'm having vegetables for dinner. I didn't roast all the veggies for that pasta toss this weekend, so I can roast more. maybe add a couple cut up tiny potatoes to the pan as well. if I like what the fish market has today, I may grab a small portion to flake into the bowl. season the veggies with garlic and some Penzey's "mignonette pepper" blend, maybe a balsamic glaze over the top? idk.

We just had pinto bean soup I made day before and made cornbread with it. It was ok, but I'm pitching the rest of the beans, I have trouble finding good tasting seasoning anymore. I used a ham bone but still had to add some of the jarred ham seasoning. It was just ok.

DD and I had tomato soup, she put bread in hers. I had sausage sandwich with onion, it was some of the Odon meat. It was sooo good, a mild seasoning, just perfect, but I also like their sage sausage, I think it may be whole hog sausage. It doesn't give me indigestion, doesn't smell, and not a ton of grease, I'm cooking it in the foreman grill, so drain it off. Then I fried up a skillet of cabbage, onion, zucchini, and bell pepper, very good. I may have some stewed apples for my dessert. Maybe get strawberries from the freezer for hubs.

I'm roasting more veggies - cubed the other half of the eggplant, quartered a handful of cremini mushrooms, and cut up a few stalks of asparagus into 1" chunks. going to toss it with whatever was left in my box of mixed curly pastas (~half a box) with some pasta water and cheese. there will be a bunch of leftovers, b/c I'm not very hungry. but this is killing time so I can go to bed later and not wake up wired at midnight. cost: free. everything's been here and accounted for. I'm decluttering.

Tuesday night ended up being take out. $22 for that but I was exhausted after running errands and unloading the car.
I cooked the chicken Wednesday night. All the broccoli in the fridge got steamed so no waste.
I made spaghetti tonight. I was going to make burgers but DH got home late and he grills. We'll do some this weekend.

We finally tried DH’s 2-year old grill basket tonight. Grilled mushrooms, zucchini, carrots, grape tomatoes, and green peppers with some salad shrimp. I had half a head of broccoli I meant to include, but I forgot. Might roast that for dinner tomorrow night instead. And there are leftovers from tonight for tomorrow’s lunch. Yummy!!

I have a grill pan, actually I moved it to this house unused and I have been here 4y already. (in my defense, it's too big for tailgate grills, which is all *I* have ever had) how do they cook, relative to the grill? like, does it add a lot to the cook time?

He had the grill turned all the way up, which he doesn’t usually do, so it’s hard to say. The mushrooms and peppers were not quite cooked enough though. I’d say to allow at least an extra 5 or 10 minutes, depending on what you’re cooking. For reference sake, he finished a whole beer. Burgers are usually about half a beer.

thanks, that is helpful. I'm obv still going to have to play with it here to figure out settings, but a ballpark is nice.
I had a very late and filling lunch, so dinner now is a can of soup. I want to just go to bed, but I'm trying to rally a little at the start of a 3-day weekend. I'm in for the night, but I'll see what I can do about staying up to play with the big kids lol...
