Roasted tilapia, pesto, and sheet pan veg. 10/29/22
This is almost an instant replay of a dinner we had last week. We enjoyed last week’s rendition of this fish dinner plus we had one frozen cube of pesto left so our only change was to add mushrooms to … Continue reading

Chicken enchiladas and spicy black beans. 10/27/22

Buffalo chicken wings and salad. 10/17/22

Grilled burgers and bean salad. 10/15/22
Even though I had to eat practically nothing all day to fit this hamburger into my diet regimen, it was worth it. Every once in a while I just crave eating like a normal (American) person. You know, a hamburger … Continue reading

Fun low-cal lunch. 10/13/22
My daughter had some extra zucchini from her plot at the community garden. After she finished making a delicious zucchini cake (which I should have taken a picture of before we ate it), I used the rest to make chicken … Continue reading
