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

i've never tried marmite, but have had vegemite (and really, really, really, tried hard to like it!, i swear') when we spent time in brisbane.

if marmite is anything like vegemite, its gonna be a hard pass from me.

though i feel like i could like it if used in like stews or gravies or marinades or something.

anyone try that?

Yes, Vegemite, Marmite and promite are all great additions to meaty stews , soups and casseroles. They all taste similar but slightly different my pick of the 3 is promite, on hot toast lots of real butter and a smidge of promite

Never again. My daughter ordered truffle fries thinking there would be just a few shavings of truffle on top but no. These were aioli covered monsters that no one wanted. They gave me heartburn (for the first time in 3 yrs)

If there was ever a fried potato I didn’t like it was these. My daughter ordered truffle fries thinking there would be just a few shavings of truffle on top but no. These were aioli covered monsters that no one wanted.

Oh yea, that truffle stuff is an intense flavor. I imagine that would have been hard to eat. I would have passed as well.

Yes I updated the post because I forgot to add the heartburn it gave me

Eh no fun!

There is a place by me that has fantastic truffle fries, I haven't had them since surgery but they were quite tasty. They used the truffle quite well.

Honestly I don’t believe there was any actual truffle in this. Made the aioli had truffle oil ??‍♀️

Another freezer meal- salad chicken topped with cheese. Ended up eating it all.

And now- a bunch of baked goods that I have absolutely NO clue what to do with. I might try and pawn them off to friends on Facebook!
Peanut butter fudge, blueberry crumble cookies, cranberry muffins, mini sweet potato pies, sweet potato pie bars, and a sweet potato pie. My cooking averse oldest even made vanilla whipped cream!

Yes, it's a Marmite sandwich. Not sure if it's the same as Vegemite. I think it's called like that in Australia? Or is it something different?

Vegemite & marmite are similar in that their main ingredient is yeast extract (from barley & wheat) but they’ve some other different ingredients. Vegemite has a much stronger taste & is thicker & harder to spread.

Promite has vegetable protein as it’s main ingredient. It is a softer spread & has a slightly sweeter & more mellow taste.

All three are good sources of vitamin B & generally considered healthier spreads. The main problem is you tend to slather butter on with them. LOL!

I’m a Promite girl but I did enjoy Marmite when I was a child which my paternal grandmother always had. Vegemite is too strong - even the smell irritates me. Yeah, not a good Aussie about that. ?

Part of dinner. Some Bratwurst that had to go (bb 30th September ?)

I've cooked. So I'm proud. Rice in the rice cooker (was out of frozen), vegetables and mock chicken strips with a sate sauce.

That looks delish! Squash and zucchini are one of my favorites!

Ah no, that's bell pepper, carrots, zucchini, shiitake and brown mushrooms in there.
