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

Tonite's dinner: Mango salad w/ cashews, mint and ginger syrup AND a teacup filled with Massaman Chicken Curry: ate all 430 calories worth of it.

Fam went to Korean BBQ (without me!) but they brought back some Banchan for me (traditional Korean side dishes), which, honestly, is my fave part of Korean BBQ anyway!

Clockwise from top: Seasoned black beans, spicy marinated dried cuttlefish, spicy anchovies & peanuts, and radish kimchi. About 1.5-2 tablespoons of each. Total for plate: 170 calories. Ate it all.

I love banchan. It’s like dinner roulette but it’s all tasty. Which reminds me….. I have some dried anchovies I need to fry. ?

I’m contemplating a career move because my current position is giving me ALL the stress that’s lead to weekly baking. It just seems like each week it gets bigger.

So this is what we have so far…

Jalapeño cheese bread (yeast edition)
Jalapeño cheese quick bread
Chocolate espresso cookies
Chocolate s’more cookies
Sugar cookies with mini M&Ms
Kitchen sink cookies
Amigthalota (Greek almond cookies)

Oh, and I currently have the stuff waiting to make pumpkin pie macarons….

…. I did eat a little less than half a chocolate espresso cookie and almost half a M&M cookie and an amigthalota after dinner of which I’m still under calories for the day. ?‍♀️

What are kitchen sink cookies @Starwarsandcupcakes? The mind boggles. ?

Sorry you’re disliking your job so much. When you just want to keep driving past your office or dread walking in the door, it’s time to move on. It’s just not worth the angst.

What is the app you are using to Keep track of your instake. Everything looks good. I understand what you going through i have been going through something similar

They’re a sugar cookie base with a mixture of milk chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, toffee bits, and crushed up pretzels then topped with flaky sea salt.

It’s the Baritastic app. It’s okay. I just wish it’d track more vitamins and minerals just calcium.

My middle child is vegan again ?

I need supports group for the amount of cooking I’ll need to do now ?

I think you should consider Professional Baker as an option. I'd definitely be a repeat customer.
