Airport lounge food

Gyro meat & Cucumbers w Feta Vinaigrette

Lounge food has improved dramatically just over the past couple of years. Today there was build you own greek salad bar, build your own taco bar & build your own broth bowls (among many other things). There was beef & chicken gyro meat, chicken taco meat, poached shrimp, grilled chicken & hard boiled eggs all available along with a variety of veggie garnishes & sauces. So easy to build a healthy and interesting meal!

Is there a thread for people who still like to cook and be creative? I enjoy creating or tweaking recipes so I can still eat things I love.

I would love that as well. I cook pretty much every night. When I was on WW I made some amazingly healthy & delicious meals. I used skinnytaste, Emily bites and a few others.

dinner tonight: Overnight marinated Galena Spice Company dry Jerk spice mix with Kirkland boneless skinless chicken breast. With 1/4 cup brown rice mixed with scallions & pico 70 cal. and 2 grilled pineapple rings 60 cal. 2 days in a row for grilled pineapple.

The chicken calories on the label are very low. 100 calories for 4 oz! (About 2/3 of a breast) I still weigh everything. They must pump them full of Water. I am beyond stuffed tonight, some days are just like that.

It turned out awesome and the calories ended up being crazy low, (225) although it really seemed like more.

Weber propane grill. My husband is a very serious grill and bbq person. We have a hilariously huge smoker on our patio. This picture doesn’t do justice to how big it is!

edited to add: I will throw pineapple in cast Iron or a non stick pan too. You don’t have to have a grill.

There is a recipe section in the food & Nutrition Forum. I have posted a few there but it's never been very active. We could change that, though!

K, I know I eat alot of salad. I was all excited to eat this salad as I was making it that I sort of made it ginormous, and ate it out of the mixing bowl because it wouldn't fit in a regular salad bowl. The Kid asked me why I go nutso for salad of all things, and I told her because it's delicious and just feels CLEAN. Anyone know what I mean?

Anyhoo, as anticipated I didn't finish it....will eat the rest later.

I love salad too!!! And I love tuna in my salad. I usually just open a can & mix it in with everything else. Believe it or not.... I love just fresh lemon juice & pepper as my dressing. Favorite lettuce... arugula . Also love butter lettuce to make lettuce wrap sammies
