Ate a piece of broccoli before taking the photo. Oops!

1 oz basmati rice, 3.5 oz chicken teriyaki, 2.5 oz veggies. I ate it all! Love when it looks like a huge plate of food, but it's a small desert plate that I used. lol

I fired up my smoker today for 10 pounds of leg quarters and 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

Finished product (this is the smallest one):

Took 2 ounces from that one to put on a salad for lunch:

And 2 ounces with sugar-free BBQ Sauce and a side of asparagus for dinner:

Smoked chicken freezes well, so the rest of it's going in the freezer. I'll have plenty of chicken for weeks!

I love grilled meat!

I got a question for you, lol: I recently started using a leave in food thermometer, and been practising with different food items. Today I pan fried some chicken breasts and waited until the specified temp, but by the time it was served it was not perfect (a little on the over done side). I was thinking I should take the meat of the heat just BEFORE it reaches temp to avoid this....but not sure at what temp exactly do that at...??

What is your strategy? (cuz your chicken looks pretty juicy in your pics!)

Went a little nutso with some biscotti baking tonite. I couldn't decide what flavour to make, so I made them all.

Lemon Ginger, Cinnamon Apple, Maple Bacon, Espresso chocolate Walnut, Cranberry, & Almond.

I ate an entire Almond one (about 2-3 inches long), plus a taste test bite of the end pieces of each of other five. I have no idea what the calories are but I marked it down as 250 calories.

The majority of these are going out for delivery tomorrow morning. I just leave stuff on their doorsteps, ring the doorbell then run/drive away, 😂

I make biscotti occasionally. At 2-3" long, you've most likely overestimated the calories - it's probably half that. But it's always better to overestimate than underestimate...

btw - try this one sometime https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/chocolate-hazelnut-and-ginger-biscotti-102709

Well... I'm the wrong person to ask because I'm super cautious about food safety, and I err on the side of overcooking meat. I don't take it off the heat until it's at a safe temperature (plus at least a few more degrees just to be safe). I also ruin it by stabbing it in multiple places with a thermometer (just to make sure!), which lets a lot of juices out. Dark meat is very forgiving, so it was still very juicy even though it was cooked a little more than necessary.

Here you go!

Dessert : Biscotti.pdf

I have been playing around with the sugar content, and I have gone as low 1/2 cup sugar (vs the stated 3/4 cup) and was still good. I went down to 1/3 cup once but it was a little bland (esp cuz it was a chocolate flavour base).

Am going to try with the extra egg + the egg wash from @catwoman7's link above next time....

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
