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

Thank you! This is embarrassingly easy to make. I slice the stick style imitation crab, mix with Mayo, sriracha, and sesame oil to taste. Add cucumbers, green onions, avocado, drizzle of no sugar teriyaki sauce, and a sprinkle of furikake. After the picture I ended up adding more cucumber because it tasted so good. It is probably my favorite quick meal.

Me too! Add a couple spoonfuls of tobiko (flying fish roe) and it'll be as close to a California roll (sans rice) as you can get! YUM.

Mmmmm...tobiko! Great idea!

Yep. My daily salad: 300 calories.

But more beautiful (to me) than the salad is the absolutely gorgeous day it is today. Funny how after months of sub zero temps that a day not quite even in the double digits is a reason to rejoice.

Ate about half before I got too cold and went back inside ?

I’m in the purée stage. I overdid it and now am feeling that sort of stinging pain in my chest ?

Ahhhh, the purée stage. Don't worry...it won't last long ❤️

Beef and Sweet Potato Empanadas. I ate 1 (the one in my hand!): 197 calories.

I can never seem to get the dough thin and uniform enough for patty/dumpling -type applications, so I busted out my pasta roller/maker...works wonders! Am thinking I could probably use this to roll fondant too ? Hmmmmm..

Was planning on grilling some jerk pork for dinner tonite, but didn't realize it takes as many hours as it does! I've never done it on the grill before, only oven or instant pot which is way quicker. Sooooo am going to let the meat marinate another night and start grilling it tomorrow morning.

Tonite was going to be the first time I broke out Mr.'s valentines day present he got me a few weeks ago: a super-cool food thermometer with a wireless transmitter. I think it was a subtle dig at my tendency to over cook stuff lol. (I haven't used it until now cuz I was intimidated by it, honestly)

Anyhooo, since the jerk pork is moving to tomorrow's menu, and I had already psyched myself up to try out this toy, I decided to make some chicharron from the skin of the pork I was going to throw out anyway, using the thermometer to monitor the temp of the oil.

O.M.G.

I am in love with this thing. Only perfectly cooked food coming out of my kitchen from now on. Plus I like wearing the transmitter around my neck....lolololzzzz.

Check out this perfectly crispy, crunchy goodness-ness (unless of course deep fried pork skin is not your thing, in which case, look away.)

I ate 10 pieces (44g): 241 calories

Ate a piece of broccoli before taking the photo. Oops!

1 oz basmati rice, 3.5 oz chicken teriyaki, 2.5 oz veggies. I ate it all! Love when it looks like a huge plate of food, but it's a small desert plate that I used. lol
