Chicken marsala pappardelle! Super tasty and surprisingly quick and easy. https://www.saltandlavender.com/chicken-marsala-pasta/
Just skip the 1/4tsp of garlic powder, it shouldn’t suffer for that. Odd tip, I found the marsala wine in the baking isle of the grocery store of all places.
I love https://darebee.com/ for all of their free body weight exercises. They have individual workouts and a bunch of programs that you can try. I personally like the programs so it’s less work for me having to pick out my workout everyday, plus some of them have fun rpg storylines.
I’m not sure how you feel about the dairy industry, but Greek yogurt has been a life saver for me. I didn’t even really like yogurt before this, but it’s very much grown on me. I take chobani fruit on the bottom yogurts to work as breakfast everyday as I get the flats of them at Costco and they are very transportable (110cal, 11g protein) and at home I have fage 2% (120cal, 17g protein) with a splash of vanilla and either some fruit or a little drizzle of honey.
For non-dairy protein lentils are awesome. I like the brown lentils best, the ones you get when you pick up a pack just labeled “lentils.” You can do an easy lentil soup with just chicken broth, sautéed onion, celery, and carrot. Then just toss in a cup of lentils and a bay leaf and let it simmer for an hour. Or dahl is a very easy one pot dish that’s easy to batch cook. I use this recipe https://www.noracooks.com/red-lentil-dahl/ but let it simmer longer with my brown lentils.
For a snack, carrots and hummus is great, just be careful on portion sizes because the fat content in hummus is also high.
LoseIt! is the app I use. The free version has very good functionality. I pay for premium currently because I wanted to put food in future days and track protein, but you really don’t need to. I didn’t for several months. It’s a very intuitive interface and the way it does streaks and cutesy motivation things works really well for me. I also like the big calendar that the iOS version has because it helps me visualize my weekly calories, not just the daily version.
I agree with the other commenter about the database being somewhat questionable, you have to be a little discerning. Typically I look for entries that have other nutrition facts listed besides the calories. You can also filter for verified only. But it’s quite good for individual ingredients, so as long as you’re logging 1 tortilla, 2 eggs, etc rather than just “breakfast burrito” it shouldn’t be a problem, and that’s a more accurate method anyway. But I also have heard great things about chronometer.
Beehaw has a strict no hate speech policy and the mods aren’t afraid to put their foot down when people are sort of toeing the line about being a terrible person. That’s my instance and I’m very proud of it and it’s mod team. Sounds like it would be a good fit for you, too. Also, even if you don’t get an account there, you may be happy hanging out on the communities they host. Here’s a link to the mods describing their philosophy. https://beehaw.org/post/107014
Thanks for the photo! That’s a really nice ink.
Tomorrow is pasta primavera, inspired by another post on this community. Later in the week my boyfriend is making tater tot casserole with chicken bacon cheese sausage homemade by his family. Friday is blackened tilapia with roast potatoes and I’m roasting a chicken Sunday because it was on sale. I’ll probably do broth with the carcass sometime next week. We had originally been planning to enchiladas Sunday, but those got crowded out by the unexpected chicken.
Very cute kitty! Do you have a swatch/writing sample with the ink? I haven’t actually ever seen a wearingeul ink, although I have heard the name.
For me photos hosted on Imgur don’t pop up by themselves but if you click the Imgur.com link at the top of the post it will take you to the image.
You’re absolutely right. I’ve been learning a lot about portion control in the last year or so as I’ve been working on losing some weight and that’s a very effective method.
Mmm. Big fan of the cheese/crackers/salami combo. Except that it somehow always ends up turning into dinner so I can’t do it every day.
For me I just had to be a lot more thoughtful about it. I still use about a quarter cup (~60ml, 37cal) in my morning tea, but instead of having my tea like that 4-5x a day, I have 1-2 cups of tea like that and then have switched to other teas that I don’t put any or as much milk in. So I didn’t cut it out entirely, but I definitely did reduce my usage.
Thanks for the info! I’ll put it in my back pocket for next time I’m looking to buy a pen.
Oh my goodness! I typically find Benu pens a tad too gaudy for my tastes, but that one is really lovely. Those details are lovely. And I think oxblood is a brilliant match.
How is it to write with? I haven’t ever used a pen body quite that shape. Is it comfortable to hold?
Great execution from your girlfriend. How did you like it?
You inspired me to put pasta primavera on this week’s menu. Looks great! And it’s the best feeling to be able to cook with food from the garden. Tastes better too.
Thank you! I’m looking forward to trying it out, and I definitely will try roasting a duck as soon as the weather gets a little less hot where I am. I don’t like balsamic, so I’m thinking of trying with soy instead? Not sure how it will affect the flavor profile, I might be better off doing a mix of hoisin sauce and rice wine vinegar or similar to still capture the sweet/acid rather than going salty instead.
