Food Before and After Photos

[Starwarsandcupcakes 1,898]

Just some random foods from between the 26th and my birthday (today)-

Some weird creamed spinach and (fake) chicken dish, broccoli slaw (with cranberries and walnuts), bbq pork, hard boiled egg, a turmeric (fake) chicken and spaghetti squash Soup, a vegetarian taco bake with vegetarian beef crumbles and vegan cheese and sour cream, and a Christmas sprinkle and chocolate chip cake (kids liked it… I though I would but would rather have more tea or coffee instead.)

There is loads I forgot to take pictures of but 🤷‍♀️

This is so simple, yet so ingenious at the same time! Adding this to my meal routine!

Defrosted one of my frozen meals last night. Truely a mystery meal. Couldn’t remember what it was & hadn’t written on the bag. Turned out to be ginger pork tenderloin stir fry. Looks a bit sad but was zingy with ginger. Looks more but it was about 1.5 cups which I ate over an hour.

From the photo it certainly doesn't look more than 1.5 cups, I would say less than a cup even 0.75 cup, but it does look like something I would enjoy eating

Welcome back @MarvelGirl25. Hope you have been keeping well. And happy birthday @Starwarsandcupcakes.

Have to take a plate to a small New Year’s gathering at a friend’s tonight. Decided to make sausage rolls. Cheated & used bought puff pastry. Wouldn’t get a handshake from Paul Hollywood but they look pretty good for my first attempt. Hope they taste as good too 😉🤞🏻.

I finally finished going through the 58 pages of deliciousness I missed and all I can say is WOW 😋 everything looked sooo good! I have pork skewers, an iced skinny chai latte, salads, chilis, sushi, tofu, steak bites, and lots more stuck in my head.

Here are a few dishes I made while I been away:

• First 3 pics are from the summer when we had a cookout. I made rice, chicken wings, a rack of ribs, bbq pork, steak, hot dogs, and two types of macaroni salad with tuna and smoked ham. I still mostly stick to eating just meat and make regular sides for everyone else. (1st pic is fiancés plate)
• Pan seared salmon salad (my plate and this was an all day meal)
• Veggie and cheese omelet (my plate and something like this typically gets me full until dinner but I'm picking at it all day)
• Ground turkey veggie wraps (my plate and remember I finished it all - lighter than what it looks).
• oatmeal banana pancakes with sugar free Syrup (my plate and get me full until dinner).
• Shrimp and squash salad and I believe I used trader joes green goddess dressing for this (my plate).
• chocolate covered berries I made for a party. Colorful ones were for the kiddies and the bottom for the adults. I covered the bottom ones with coconut, choco chips, and walnuts.

Batch two:

• First two pics is lomo saltado - Peruvian steak stir fry (fiancés plate)
• The other three are from a second cook out I had where I made carne asada tacos with a homemade tomatillo sauce, avocado sauce, and not in the pic but a red guajillo sauce. Also in the pic is cotija cheese and crema mexicana.

I have more pics but I'll leave it at this lol I've also went to a few AMAZING restaurant while I've been away but as usual I'm still always asked if I even liked the food because I can barely fit anything in.

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY @Starwarsandcupcakes!!!! ❤️

It is so simple that I contemplated even posting these because I barely did anything to them. The chicken could have cooked itself honestly 😂.

I don’t know how anyone else is doing but I became so burnt out on cooking that everything I do has to be very simple or I can’t be bothered (with the exception of my fat too ornate pies 😩)

Looks delicious!!
What brand SF BBQ Sauce? I tried the Sweet Baby Rays bc that’s the only one I have found in our grocery store. But I didn’t like it. Told my husband I’d rather use less or nothing at all. I want to try other brands and see if I like another brand.
Other SF items I like a lot. Like Syrup. Mrs Buttersworth. Love it. Tastes the same to me as the regular.
Anyways your tenders look sooo good!!
