Bariatric Mexican Pizza
CRUST
1 package ground chicken
1/3 envelope of taco seasoning
1 egg
1/4 cup fat free shredded cheese

Mix everything for the crust together and air fry at 450 degrees for ten minutes. Spray the pan liberally so it doesn’t stick.

Toppings:
1/2 cup taco sauce
1/2 cup refried beans
1/2 cup fat free shredded cheese
4 pickled jalapeño slices, minced

Once crust is finished cooking, add toppings. Put back in the air fryer at 450 degrees for five minutes.

Once out of the air fryer, let sit for five minutes. Slice into 3 ounce portions. Top with a little fat free Greek yogurt and avocado of you would like.
My husband LOVED this.

I’m still on soft foods and this really satisfied the Taco Bell craving.

Cinnamon swirl and raisin spice bread! Apparently I make bread so infrequently now that I didn’t know that my bread machine was on the fritz. I had to use the oven. Not doing this again for a while.

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.

It’s per kilo (2.2lbs). Lamb has been expensive for a couple of years. Drought & apparently a high demand for Aussie lamb overseas. Blueberries have doubled in price also (from the recent floods) - $12.99 a punnet at my fruit shop but again high quality. If I buy them from the grocery store they’re cheaper but I end up throwing most of those out because they become overripe, soft & mouldy in a day or two.

General grocery items have gone up here too. Spend $150 & walk out with like two bags. Crazy. Still have trouble buying certain items. There one day & then no supplies for several weeks or months. Taken to buying doubles of things.

I’m a carnivore through in through, @GreenTealael. I enjoy the occasional meat free meal but could never go full vegetarian or vegan like some of your family. But I grew up on a generational farm & my grandfather was a butcher for many years so it’s in my blood 😁😁. Damn that bread you made looks spectacular.

140g eye fillet steak, cup of salad made up of baby spinach leaves, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and crumbled feta cheese. Small baked potato. If I am honest I should have stopped after the steak but had some salad for fibre 😁 the sauce is knorrs bernaise sauce very naughty but yummy.

It is sooooo good and surprisingly I don’t want any more of it (so I have to trash it soon) 😂

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!

I have a couple bags of "salad kits" than i am working to eat up from the fridge. They are nowhere near as tasty as the ones I make myself, AND the packaged dressing is sooooo HIGH in calories (and honestly, too sweet for my taste) for so little of it, but its salad, and it was either this or baked mac and cheese. I choose salad.

390 calories, ate it all.

@ms.sss yummmm my fellow salad lover!!

Bagged salads are a lifesaver sometimes!

Been traveling all day and was able to only get in one meal. Bought some cheese plate ingredients at the store and had a little charcuterie plate.
