What Did You Eat Today?

The other day I made nut butters out of some nuts we haven't been eating. I made peanut butter, almond butter, and pecan butter. They all had different strengths, so I mixed them all together. Not bad.

You just put the nuts in the food processor and turn it on, and after a while drizzle in some vegetable oil.
 
I used 10 slices of prosciutto and coated one side with grated Gruyere cheese, sprinkled a dash of cayenne and rolled them up. Baked them in the oven atop some cubed potatoes.

Then stood the prosciutto up on a plate where I had made a layer of Hoisin covered with a layer of maple syrup.

Dumped the potatoes beside my eggs over easy, and thick Texas toast dripping butter.

Not a bad snack.
 
So far, just a cup of coffee first thing this morning, then a salad at lunch time, washed down with about 1/2 a diet Dr. Pepper. Gonna oven-bake a big chicken breast for dinner. I'm down about 9 lbs right now. Woo hoo...only 41 lbs to go!
 
Breakfast: strawberries blueberries nuts yogurt
Lunch: broccoli and cauliflower
Supper: not sure - bacon mushroom omelet
 
Breakfast: oat cereal, banana, "whole" milk
Lunch: green salad with chicken, blue cheese dressing, milk
Snack: orange
[-]Supper[/-] Dinner: two hotdogs with a slice of jalapeno cheese, some dill relish, onion, and mustard; handful of tortilla chips, milk

Prepped lunch for the next few days: grass-fed Italian meatballs, with a tomato, pepper, onion, mushroom, garlic, thyme, oregano sauce thingy. Steamed asparagus.

I tried to imagine the taste of prosciutto and Gruyere with Hoisin sauce and maple syrup, but just couldn't. I guess I would have to try this combination myself if I want to know what it tastes like.

This is exactly my diet while in college. USC, 1973-75 for Masters in some engineering stuff, oh yeah, aerospace. Just the perfect diet for studying.

We sat down and began to eat. I didn't mention the potatoes were on the crunchy side, but he did see my expression when I took a bite of the fish. It wasn't cooked thoroughly... Fortunately he took a bite and agreed. Then the process started all over again....:LOL:

Ahhh....but supper ended up being good after all.....:)

I have been trying recipes from Glorious One Pot Meals, a book full of recipes for quick cook, Dutch-oven meals. Chicken Satay a week ago was great, tonight was chicken with red curry and coconut milk and that was so so.

You jest, but they were scrumptious, grass-fed notwithstanding. :cool:

One pound of ground beef, one egg, 0.5c bread crumbs, seasoned with garlic and onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix, and form into [fat pitch] balls. [/fat pitch]

For sauce, saute some onion, bell pepper, garlic, onion, and mushrooms in olive oil, until translucent. Add canned, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil, then add the meatballs, simmering and turning until the meatballs are done.

Grass optional...
 
BKFST: Strawberry banana yogurt with whipped cream on top :D
SNACK 1: 6 small chocolate covered pretzels from the Mennonite Country Kitchen in Lairdsville NY, visited on the monthly low cost high quality cold cut and cheese stock-up run
SNACK 2: 3 pints of Coors Lite at the Legion :LOL:
DINNER: 1 of the last 2 servings of frozen homemade lasagna (circa Nov 2010) and sauce, half of a small sub roll toasted as garlic bread.
DESSERT: 1 nice cold bottle of St Pauli Girl brewski

Well, my meatballs feed on corn, I believe.;) They get baked or fried before taking a swim in the sauce.

I skipped that step [-]because I'm lazy[/-] to save time, and to impart some meatball goodness into the sauce.
