I love all cuts of steaks actually but my top is fillet. Kids and hub too so for us we buy four of those when we cook. My husband cooks them both ways too. Sometimes cast Iron and sometimes the grill.
I’m at the gym now dreaming of steak now @ms.sss!!🤤🤤🤤🤤(drool emoji)

Wow that’s high!! Per pound or for two cutlets? Prices here for everything have gone up. I spend almost a $100 more at the grocery store now than I did 6 mos ago.
Use to spend like $200 a week and now it’s easily $300 and over.

Jonesing for a steak now! And asparagus w mushrooms!!! Except my fav cut is a fillet-not that that one didn’t look freaking delicious!!
Fillet here at the butcher meat counter is almost $40 a pound now. Crazy.

Omg that looks ammmmaaaazzziiinnnggggg!!
Yum!!

Yes it all looks soooo good!!
My husband cooked up a new recipe he got from his brother. Apple Cake. Haven’t had any yet but I’ll send a pic of it. Sent over some to parents and they loved it.
This is all that’s left after parents/his Dan , one teen kid and still one to go….my guess is there will be none very soon lol

I have a cast Iron pizza pan that I use as a griddle. (It never leaves the stove top and is used at least once a day.)
I heat it to 500 degrees or so. I spray the steak with an olive oil spray, then put it on the griddle with a weight on it. Thirty seconds on each side with the weight gets a pretty good sear, but not quite a crust. I usually cook them at 124 degrees, so if it's a thick steak it's still a long way from medium after 30 seconds a side.
Since my surgery, we never eat more than 3.5 ounces each. Sliced and artfully arranged on the plate, a rare steak is pretty beautiful. A steak house would be soaking it in butter. I generally leave that off.
I have a torch, but I've never used it.

I was 417 when I started, currently stuck at 278, but it will go, I just have to be patient. Pic next to car is Sept 2020, pic with the palm tree is from April of this year in Florida. 54 pant size, to 42 pant size, 5xlt shirts, to 3xlt shirts. Big change!

The picture on the right was yesterday; the one on the left was me close to my fattest. I'm eight months post-op and still losing weight, albeit much more slowly now. I was wearing size 46 pants that barely buttoned around my waist on the left; size 32 on the right. Size 4XL shirt on the left, L on the right. (The left is blurry because I had to crop and it didn't do it nicely. You can still see puh-lenty!)

175 lbs down. Work outfits, and swimsuits.

meat is crazy priced here too. $79.99 for lamb at my butcher. They do get in very high quality, very flavoursome, organic meats which is what you’re paying for. I usually justify it because two cutlets is an ample meal for me. I think I might buy some fillet steak (my favourite cut too) next week too now after seeing @ms.sss’s dinner. Mmmm

I’m in. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all meet up. Though I do live the furtherest away ☹️ so it will be a bit more if a challenge. Even if we don’t know everyone’s faces at least we’ll recognise everyone by their neck down bodies from all these post 😆😆😆.
You both look gorgeous @Sophie7713 & @GreenTealael. And you got a Bobby kiss @GreenTealael (plus more bright colours - go the pink).
Looking great @sillykitty. Where are you? The scenery is gorgeous.
What a lovely photo of you & your daughter @VIKING 0424. She is a beautiful bride.

So i’ve been bugging Mr to grill me up a steak all week cuz i was terribly missing some good quality, well cooked meat since vacay (where the food was borderline terrible!)
Tonight, Mr. came through and prepared THREE of these babies!! Its hard to tell in the pic, but this Porterhouse is GIGANTIC. It was almost 2 inches thick raw, and weighed 2.35 lbs cooked. 😳. Did i mention he made THREE of these?!?!
Overkill is an understatement cuz I ate like 1 measly oz of it. Along with some roasted asparagus and portobello mushrooms. Cleaned my bowl: 345 calories, which included an espresso martini i drank beforehand (not shown).
Totally hit the spot!
Mr is gonna be rewarded for his efforts later (once my food is digested 😂😂😂😂)

This was my meal from lunch with @Sophie7713. chicken souvlaki complete with salad, fries, pita, hummus and tzatziki sauce.
This is probably the biggest plate of food I’ve seen place before me in years. Obviously I didn’t pay attention to the the fact that it was an entree not a small plate/appetizer. This became 4 separate meals (I ate leftovers 🥹) with some that was tossed in the end. Still it was very good.


And a yesterday this was my version of a pita plate with carrots, beets, cucumber and hummus. It was shared with one of my teens.

My husband is from NYC and made chopped cheese for his lunch and made a special one for me:
1/3 cup ground turkey seasoned with salt, zatar seasoning, and hot sauce all cooked until done and chopped into pieces in the pan
2 TBSP non fat greek yogurt
2 teaspoons of sugar free ketchup
He knows I love pickles and went the extra mile and grated in a half sour pickle spear for me.
It was delicious and filling and just everything I wanted for lunch on the soft meat stage.

I realize my meals have been lacking of greenery of late (i have yet to go grocery shopping since coming back from vacay). 🤷🏻‍♀️

Jamaican beef patty and some ketchup chips. Ate 1/2 the patty and all the chips: 346 calories.
I’ve been told that Ketchup Chips aren’t as widely available in the US as it is in Canada. If the Americans on here haven’t yet sampled Ketchup chips, you don’t know what you are missing!! Think: sweet/tangy/savoury. #yum

Breakfast reminded me very much of dinner. Ate it all.

I ❤️ Scones! I think my favorites have always been lemon poppy or orange cranberry.
I haven’t had one in a couple of years because the bakery I went to stripped down their menu thanks to the pandemic. So I began to make them but along the way everyone in my family was over eating baked goods.
I still can’t believe we were all making sourdough starters and decadent confections. Now I get absolutely angry if a meal requires that I turn on the oven. 😂

Love it!!
That is so cool that y’all were able to meet up!! I’m still hoping we can all get together for a BP reunion of sorts!!
Great pic! All three look fab!

Yes!! Who’s in?!!
