Food Before and After Photos

I blanched all these yummy green vegetables for our Christmas Eve feast. Tossed them just with butter, salt & pepper & let their goodness shine. Had races eating the Beans & asparagus with my 3yr old nephew. Num, num, num, num, num. 😁

I have been indulging. A sliver of Christmas cake each day. Seven slices eaten two left. It was a wee cake I received as a gift. Very yummy. Moist & fruity. I was worried about the fondant but unfortunately I could eat it without a problem. 😂

How are you settling in?

All settled in, I really like this house. I’ve moved a lot and all over the Midwest (+Pittsburgh). I counted and that was the 10th house I’ve sold in my 60 years on this planet. I don’t get too attached!

Thank for asking!

First meal in 2021: turkey bacon and biscuit

Another year, another batch of yummy food photos! ❤️

Everything looks delicious as usual, but I have to give a special shoutout to @Arabesque...those greens actually MOVED me...lol.

Anyhoo...I can't stop making homemade bread because 1) it makes the house smell awesome 2) it gives me an excuse to see fam and friends to make deliveries to and 3) its effing DELICIOUS. Yep, I'm totally eating bread now.

Today's first food: a bit of said bread and some HOMEMADE BUTTER. I got curious about how to make butter so googled it and then made Mr. do the muscle work. It's ridiculously delicious. If you are bored and have some arm muscles (or know someone who does)...i totally recommend giving it a try: put heavy cream in a jar and shake "violently" until it separates to butter and buttermilk.

estimated at 123 calories for the bread and butter I'm holding shown below.

P.S. that is yet ANOTHER bread batch resting for baking later in the background, lol....I have made 12 loaves in the past week.

you can also use an electric mixer. If you do it long enough, it'll turn into butter.

salad time. Kinda full from the bread, so didn't get very far. It went back in the fridge for later.

Romaine, vinaigrette, carrots, cucumber, cheddar, soft boiled egg, imitation crab and masago.

270 cals for the whole thing.

For Breakfast today I had this (don't judge me 🤣) but because it's 2021 I'm logging food again

This looks like a pregnant woman’s plate but I’m trying to cut down on trips to the fridge to keep me from “grazing all day”. This was the last of my Peanut Butter. Looking forward to trying PB2 or something “healthier”
