My cherries look so pathetic. Now I want chocolate covered strawberries...

If I had chocolate I’d dip these!

The spreads look so good! What are these, and the others you have posted while on vacation? The apricots must taste heavenly...

The spreads are Peanut Butter, a vegan chocolate spread and the fruity stuff is a high quality (i. e. high fruit content) raspberry or strawberry marmalade.

The apricots were indeed very good.

Romaine + baby spinach + carrots + cucumber + grilled chicken breast + vinaigrette + spices. Ate it ALL. YUM.

147 cals: 19g protein, 4g fat, 1g NET carbs

how many ounces of chicken breast did you put in your salad/how many ounces of meat do you usually put?

Before and after hospital food. Went to the ER yesterday morning because I was experiencing severe pain on the lower right side of my stomach. Turns out I have a 4 mm kidney stone

What's that supposed to be? It seems to have broccoli in it?

For this particular salad, it weighed out as 90g (3.17 oz).

I usually have anywhere from 90-120g of meat/protein on my salads if I put some on....with the exception of lean pork: for some reason lean pork fills me up way faster (or maybe I just tolerate it less?) so I would serve myself maybe half of a regular "meat portion" if pork is on the menu.

Yikes! Does it/did it require surgery? Or do you have to pass it yourself?

You have inspired me to try a fresh apricot! Bought two today at the market. I've only used them dried from Sunmaid for my grandmother's apricot nut bread during the holidays. Excited to discover their taste fresh. ;]

Oh NO! Do take good care and wishing you a smooth recovery. Well, I guess it doesn't look too bad for hospital food? The tray bottom is pretty cool! ;]

Leftovers for early supper tonight. Just ate my salad, and nibbled on one strip of the Cuban style skirt steak + a roasted potato. Hubby ate half the food on buffet styled plate. He'll enjoy the rest for tomorrow's lunch. These chops with rosemary and garlic were really tasty! Now, I am contemplating making apricot chia pudding! ;]

Ok, it was a “Side Dish” feast at Casa SSS tonight! Had a bunch of foods that needed to be used up again!

Meal for me consisted of one lobster tail, one lobster claw, 1/2 a corn cob & maybe 1/4 cup-ish of Brussel Sprouts. Cleaned the plate! Am stuffed.

P.S. the fam LOVES sautéed onions. They can eat it by the bucketful. Im always annoyed with how much it looks like raw vs. how little it looks like after sautée-ing for an hour....
