speaking of butter...

BP Pals: Question of the Day:

Butter: Fridge or Counter/Pantry??

Freezer because I don’t eat butter often enough to need it soft except in March/April then it’s on the counter.

Both! I have some in a mason jar (mostly for Bagels and toast) and then about 5lbs on my butter/cream cheese shelf which is up higher where it’s colder.

While it does look delicious, there is NO way I’m paying $4 for a piece of fruit.

Fridge for my butter. Doesn’t it go off sitting out on a counter? I’ll sit it out for a short time if I want it to soften for cooking but that’s it. I have a spare tub in my freezer but it takes months to get through a tub.

I love mango but I find it sets off my restriction very quickly.😩 Don’t know why? Too rich?? I found a freeze dried version I can eat if I have a craving. Not the same but better than none.

Yea I can see how it sounds expensive but they are big. So you can eat them for breakfast like at least four times for one. So that comes out to $1. So not really expensive when you think about a meal. Even if you paired it w a yogurt.

Semi Homemade mushroom calzone & garlic knots (store bought dough).
The calzone wasn’t for me but I had about 5 garlic knots with 3 meatballs from the huge batch I made.

Caramelised onion, feta & thyme tart I made to take to my cousin’s for drinks night. Bought my pastry too @GreenTealael. Too much effort to make my own. Ha! So easy to make & delicious. Got 16 nice sized squares out if it & it was gone in seconds. I was lucky to get a piece to try.

I used Danish feta. It’s my favourite. Creamy, crumbly, salty goodness.

@GreenTealael I buy Butterball lean ground turkey and it is way less calories than what you posted here?? (And more protein) Maybe you aren't buying the lean? (purposely for burgers?)

Let me introduce you all to the many ways I’ve eaten eggs this past week. 😂 I was feeling a little heavy so wanted switch up my diet back to Keto (which has worked for me in the past) and decided on a slightly modified egg fast to get back into things. Lost 7lbs of Water weight in 4 days.

Eggs with avocado (my modified one a day veggie choice) and feta, hard boiled eggs with mayo and hot sauce (not pictured), snickerdoodle cream cheese egg crepes, scrambled eggs with cheese, hard boiled eggs and chipotle mayo, a pizza chaffle moth marinara (my modified one a day veggie choice), garlic bread? ( this recipe needs work but the flavor was good), the recipe called it a crustless quiche (with mayo added), mini lemon cheesecakes (these were SO good!), and then cloud eggs with homemade hollandaise (these were just ok).

Annnd what I ate for Breakfast this morning was these reverse scotch eggs.
