Ordered this falafel bowl from a new Greek restaurant in town. Holy smokes it’s HUGE! It’s taken 3 different sittings today and the help of a 9yr old (who ate all the pita and tzatziki, a few of the cucumbers and tomatoes and half a falafel). At this point I’m done trying to eat more so I threw it away.

I made silky edamame Soup today, but added chicken breast for extra Protein. It was like one of the fancy restaurant soup! If you are interested, Google the name of the soup and try it out.

I didn’t have much ingredients at home, I only used sesame oil, edamame, shallots, chicken broth, chicken breast and sour cream. Turn out great.

I have the small bowl in the pictures, the bigger one is for my family. They enjoyed it also. Some of the restaurants I been to add bacon bite on the bottom of the soup. And maybe I will do that for my family next time.

chicken salad, carrots and crackers. I usually make a salmon version of this but I wanted to use up leftover rotisserie chicken. I also want to make a chicken Soup from the remnants.

Anyone else reworking leftovers? I’m terrible at it.

It’s my week 5 now and I can add some toast and crackers in my diet. Which mean I can eat left over from my family. Lol

I always rework my left over. Today morning I made salmon omelet with left over salmon and added low fat cheese. I should have added some onion as well. For lunch made chicken salad with left over rotisserie chicken as well.

For dinner I made it fresh. 93/7 Ground beef with onion, and some cracker. make sure I cook my onion very well and I can tolerate it.

I should add more veggies on my diet. Need to go food shopping soon.

omg repurposing leftovers is one of my fave things to do!

a sample of my "Leftovers MacGyver-ing" (yes i take pictures food every. single. day. ...almost...i have an album titled "random food pics" on my phone hahahhaha)

in order of appearance:

1. leftover baked potatoes into chunky cream of potato Soup with bacon and cheddar

2. leftover cheesecake into cheesecake brownies

3. leftover dahl and sweet potato fries into curried sweet potato soup BONUS: also used leftover pita bread to make the croutons on top.

4. blueberry yogurt that was about to expire into yogurt bread

These are really good ideas! I definitely have to step my game up.

I finally mastered the Protein waffle recipe (again) the texture and flavor was perfect. Tracking is for the entire Belgian waffle, the pic was the last quarter that I remembered to photograph.

Breakfast today was Greek salad and a pita.

dinner tonight was grilled cheese (made on 45 calorie a slice bread with a slice American cheese) and Tomato Soup (made with milk). Cooked the grilled cheese with non stick spray and finished in the oven to crisp without burning.

A couple food before and after-

the first one is vegan chorizo with zucchini and peppers, cucumber Tomato salad, and spinach paneer puff pastries

the second is an impossible burger and multigrain toast (she got my order wrong but I wasn’t about to complain and ask for it to be fixed)

I’m assuming you wanted the burger on the toast, right? If so, the jam on the side is hilarious 😂

I had actually ordered an impossible breakfast plate with the multigrain toast. How I got a burger, not a clue but I really wasn’t about to complain.
