Kris77 reacted to Starwarsandcupcakes in Food Before and After Photos
Y’all, I’m thinking about starting a food blog about budget meals. I went shopping for my personal weekly groceries (no kids included this time as we mostly eat separate meals) and spent $35.38US.
So far I’ve made these-
lunch was a salad with scrambled tofu, roasted peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and romaine with a homemade dressing.
dinner was roasted chicken thigh, roasted sweet potato, spinach and a smidge of garlic confit.

I know this post is a few mos old but I wanted to send a reply.
For me, I do not eat breads of any kind, no tortillas, no rice, no Pasta
I do eat tortilla chips when we go out to eat mexican food.
For me letting those back in would be bad. Everyone is diff. I’m strict with that type of stuff and have other areas of weakness that I allow instead. Like I love dark chocolate covered frozen bananas. They have carbs but it’s my treat.
You will have to gauge what are the things you want to eliminate for success and the things you are able to eat in moderation to maintain.
For me things that a lot of people can eat in moderation I wouldn’t be able to. Ex warm rolls w butter that they serve at restaurants. I DO NOT allow myself that at all. Can’t open that door.
There are a lot of low carb bread options that people on this site have found and they like. I don’t do them though.
I do substitute hamburger bun for lettuce and also when I eat tacos I use a lettuce wrap or make it a bowl instead. There are a ton of options and a wealth of info on this site. Good luck to you!! Keep us posted! -

Enjoying a week off work so let the home meals commence!
Today’s included feeding Beans (a true feat!) to usually reluctant humans. Mine- crispy street style corn tortillas, homemade refried beans, homemade pico, shredded cheese and sour cream I didn’t even need. Theirs were on fajita size flour tortillas as they still balk at corn ones.
I was too lazy to calorie calculate homemade refried beans so used what seemed close. Also, all dinner items were $13.44US but there’s tons of leftovers for lunches this week and I’ll end up freezing half the beans for later.

Burger night!
cheese burger bunless w sweet potato fries
Ate almost half of burger and all the fries. Sweet potato fries are so yummy. If you haven’t tried them before they are so good. With sweet potato fries I don’t dip in ketchup. I do dip my burger though!

Slightly curried chicken salad wrap. This was two meals worth of food but the log shows the total for all of it.
I used to eat lettuce wraps constantly because I like them and I couldn’t find good low carb substitutes. For me this what returning to basics would look like (not going back to a liquid diet).
What does everyone’s “back to basics” include/remove?

dinner out with my colourist & her husband. Pre dinner gin & basil cocktail at local boutique hotel followed by dinner at nearby restaurant. Started with Brie baked in wood fire coals with fennel jam & fermented garlic honey. It was delicious. Wanted to scoop it up in spoonfuls but I used two small pieces of lavosh which sat ok. Then duck breast with puréed parsnip & baby carrots. Also sipped a glass of a lovely Grenache which I sadly couldn’t finish. I ate almost one piece of duck & 1/3 of the purée & carrots & have the leftovers for dinner tonight. Yippee!
Lots of young beautiful girls at the hotel. All dressed the same, with their matching laminated brows, lip & check fillers, lash implants & blonde hair. All mirror images of each other. Not an individual amongst them. Sad really.

“Breakfast” for today- iced coffee and a potato kale skillet with an over easy egg. I had a coupon for free eggs this week! 🎉 Had I not though it would’ve been $1.82US instead.
