More "other" food

It has become apparent that I cook entirely different meals for me vs my fam & friends. I kinda swore I wouldn't and everyone would just eat what I ate, but it stopped working that way when no one wanted salad... Again 😂

Small potato, sauteed broccoli normandy, pan fried tilapia

My burger on a matzah with salad and beets

P.S. It's always beets 😂

OMG! Not only is she beautiful - she can cook, too! This looks delish and I'm not even a fish girl - although I have heard Tilapia has less of a fishy taste and smell?

dinner last night and lunch today. Raw cauliflower, broccoli, red grapes, cheddar cheese, chicken, red onions + slivered almonds tossed in light dijon mustard vinaigrette. Best the next day after marinating... Serving dish for hubby and myself. Forgot to show my serving size probably 1 ½ cups, and the after dish. New to this thread. Soooo, I'll get with the program. LOL.

Quickyquick meal: Uncle Ben's microwave rice with a Japanese spice mix ("Furikake") on top and Alnatura's lentil burgers out of the oven. Couldn't eat it all. Rice is way too filling for me.

That Soup looks fantastic, I need to find a good recipe, feel free to share!

No picture of tonight’s dinner because I forgot to take a picture. We had burgers and oven fries.

*Heads up when ordering Instacart. They have to substitute a lot of items right now which is understandable. I ordered burger patties from costco which were sold out and replaced with a different box of burger patties. I was planning dinner and plugging the numbers into MFP... lo and behold one patty is 330 calories! No bun, no cheese just the meat and It wasn’t even that big. I had half a burger, since 330 is a lot for me considering I’m maintaining on 1300 a day, plus I REALLY wanted oven fries!

It was a very good burger, fat=flavor is true with burgers.

Anyway, be ready for substitutions!

Ohhhhhh thanks ! I'm a fish person (only certain kinds-kosher) but I think tilapia is milder than other white fleshed fish and definitely less aromatic than other bright fleshed types.

(It's is not favorite because I do prefer fishy fish LOL but is a very soft entry into fish for someone wanting to try fish)

I haven't tried jackfruit yet, how does the flavor and texture compare to other meat alternatives?

Dried jackfruit is lightly sweet. So when dried it's not really meat substitute.

Every meal I make and post here is kosher (but not always pareve)

Oh I understand.

Have you tried pulled/shredded jackfruit (I think its a sub for pulled meat/BBQ)?

[summerset 5,265]

Didn't try it so far as a meat substitute. I recently got this from the grocery store but haven't tried it yet.

[summerset 5,265]

The Asian grocery store has canned jackfruit but I don't know if that is canned in sweet Syrup or in brine. I have to take a look next time I shop there.
