Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !

I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc

salad FAIL ?

I ran out of salad greens so I just took whatever veggies where in the fridge (napa cabbage, pea shoots & carrots) and tossed em up with my vinaigrette. Well, turns out I don't like raw pea shoots, so I painstakingly picked them out one by one after the first bite.

Also, I tried to recreate that baked egg and avocado thing that @MarvelGirl25 posted a while back, and I guess I left in in the oven too long, as the yolk was disappointingly UN-runny. So that was banished to the edge of the plate as well.

*sigh* and I was so excited to eat it too .

I dont think I ever baked an egg with an avocado before? lol I know recently I posted stuffed avocado. But that baked idea sounds good!

Hope everyone had a great dinner last night! I tried to avoid all the heavier foods and stuck to some basics. There was a roasted pork shoulder I didnt even try, a Chifa (Peruvian Chinese fusion) beef stir, oven baked hot wings, pasta, and a few other items my family members brought over. The pre-surgery me would have tried it all. I ended up making some sauteed asparagus and green beans last minute so I had other options.

Dinner: The turkey was amazingggggggggg. Props to my dad. I was able to finish the rest of my turkey a few hours after and then I served another 2 oz of it. I never finished my veggies or mashed potatoes.

Third pic are those babies that took forever to make. Its similar to a traditional tamale except the "masa" is made out of grated green bananas, plaintains, taro, and fresh pumpkin. The inside has pork, olives, and chickpeas. I couldnt skip out on this lol

Dessert: I ate half the pumpkin pie filling from that slice. I knew how much sugar was in the pie since I made it so i figured it would be ok as long as i avoided that crust.

LOLOLzzz...ah, i thought it was baked!

And yeah, I think it would have been really good if I didn't overcook it! ...topped with bacon of course cuz bacon makes everything yummier.

Survived Thanksgiving weekend friends!

My family enjoyed zucchini lasagna (ok I enjoyed it but they tried it haha)

I then proceeded to bake about 15 dozen cookies: Hershey kiss blossoms, peanutbutter cup Cookies, and chocolate chip pecan Peanut Butter with some maple Protein Powder thrown in.

Bonus: 3 loaves of zucchini banana bread

Made a quinoa/cucumber salad, super light and fresh.

Something I LOVED before surgery was salad. Like...last meal death row loved. Ever since surgery I can only handle about 2 bites then I need to toss but this one is delicious it.

Absolute personal favourite place in Toronto (is actually in a suburb north-east of T.O. proper? Sumilicious.

I’m marking this down for when we head back to Toronto in March.

I didn’t have time to take pictures at Thanksgiving since I was hosting. I didn’t eat as much as I thought I would. I anticipated I’d eat my weight in stuffing but ended up having about a 1.5 cups over 2 days.

I’m not much of a dessert person but this year pumpkin pie was my favorite item.

Two things Ive been wanting to make! Quinoa salad and lasagna Looks good!

Dinner last night: Turkey soup made with the leftovers.

Gosh this was a delish Sunday brunch! Make an egg white puff using my egg poacher and also made radish and mushroom hash. I have an extra one for this morning and am looking forward to elevensies.

It was so hot I caught the steam rising off of it!

Here's the breakout of the whole breakfast.
