New light weight, exotic animal toile dress perfect for summery sultry days...

I like to keep my food separate as well. I eat a bite of this and a bite of that but I don’t like the food to be mixed. My husband jokingly bought me a kid plate with the sections on it. I actually liked it. Lol

Going away for the weekend and i felt the need to use up all the vegetables in the fridge!
Eggplant parmigiana and grilled veggie flatbread
Eggplant: fried and breaded eggplant, layered with marinara sauce and mozzarella. (And yes, i sneaked in some anchovies in the marinara! Shhhhh 🤫 lol). And fresh basil leaf.
Flatbread: flatbread from a package, grilled on bbq with truffle olive oil, seasoned ricotta and egg base, roasted eggplant, zucchini, yellow & orange peppers, portobello mushrooms, shallots, garlic, feta, mozzarella and balsamic glaze drizzle. And fresh basil leaves.
i didn’t bother figuring out the calories because I didn’t get to eat any!!!
Them fam gobbled it all up in like 10 mins before i had a chance to have a sample. Im gonna assume it was delicious.

Peach parfait: plain Greek yogurt, fresh peach, granola and local honey
(the pic I take to post vs they way I actually eat it 😂)

Breakfast: 186 calories

I’m also team butter and oil, I just measure carefully.

Ok, so for that little amount of lobster, even 1/2 a tbsp would be more than enough! So max 50 cals.
i say go for it! (But of course i’m butter-lovin’ biased lol)

Okay this is my actual plate.i ate about half the steak and veggies and all the lobster and snow crab

Cucumber, strawberry, feta salad with almonds: 160 calories.
Ate it all, yummer.

Obviously, butter/clarified butter would be my first choice, but of you are looking to watch calories, how about a nice mignonette (if you like vinegar, that is). Its basically red wine vinegar (or whatever vinegar u have on hand), and shallots (or red onions). Goes great with shellfish.
Or maybe some dry white wine and lemon juice?
P.S. depending on what ur personal calorie limits are, a tbsp of butter is only 100 cals…which is more than enough for dipping say a good sized lobster tail. The trick is to have it on the side vs. pouring it all over.
Good Luck! ❤️

Brunch with my BF
2 eggs w/ potatoes, crimini mushrooms, zucchini, shallots, red peppers, baby spinach, melted mozzarella, herbed goat cheese whole abs whole grain toast.
Coming in at a whopping 1310 cals. I estimate I had about 300 cals worth.
I’m sure the majority of the hidden cals were from butter or oil while cooking. I can’t help but think of I made this at home it would be 1/4 the calories. But this will be either two or three more meals depending on who finishes it.

We got a holiday long weekend up here ourselves! (Canada Day is July 1st)

Sous vide filet mignon and air-fried asparagus. Sous vide is the way to go for steak! Perfect medium-rare all the way through, and just pan-seared the outside. Not pictured: chimichurri sauce (but the steak was so good, it didn't even need any sauce).
Nutrition information for filet mignon is all over the place. I'm seeing anything from 170 to 300+ calories for a 4-ounce filet mignon in MFP.

That looks more like truffle with lamb vs. lamb w/ truffle! #yum

Sorry @Starwarsandcupcakes another dining out pxt but I’ll only post one cause it had truffles. Yes, truffles. Not on the menu, just a special treat addition from the chef. Funny thing was I got truffles, my friend got truffles but her husband who also ordered the same dish didn’t. Never hurts to flirt a little with the wait staff 😁😁😁. I ate half so I have more lamb & truffles for dinner tonight.

My work meals the last couple of days- I did end up swapping out the tuna and had the carrots for a Protein Bar and on the one with a smoothie I added pretzels and a Protein bar. The sandwich bags have cranberry pecan granola and roasted chick peas in them. The little white lidded container is garden vegetable cream cheese.

I only eat Pasta when Mr makes it, so since today he made spaghetti with pasta from a bag, i paired his meat sauce with 1/2 a bagel instead.
247 calories, had I eaten everything…which i did not, as the pairing was not as delicious as i thought it would be…tossed the rest cuz no one in the fam was interested in the leftovers.

It does look big doesn’t it? Its actually probably about only 2” in diameter….i guess i have itty bitty hands lol.
Here’s another one i ate about an hour ago. I had to share it with Mr cuz he was all “you’re going to get sick…you haven’t eaten yet”…ah, he knows me well.
Anyway, this one was “Vietnamese Coffee” flavoured. 6/10. But sooooooooooo cute!!!

Why is it so big and look so sad 😂

On Micro-vacay with the girls…they got the late night munchies and ordered Uber-Eats subs, and i was all, um…no thanks. So i went across the street to get this salad.
Surprisingly delicious considering i dropped the dressing packet somewhere on my way back. I may just eat dry salads from now on!
The nutritional label said it was 350 calories for the container, but MFP didn’t recognize it when i tried to scan the bar code, so i just guessed the amounts to get as close the 350 as a could. Ta-da!
The leftovers are still in the mini-bar (frozen, cuz I accidentally put it in the freezer section), and am probably gonna toss it.
