Venturing back into egg territory! I give eggs up often because I don’t think I actually like them but they are considered a Breakfast staple.

Fluffy scrambled eggs, vegan sausage and French bread (not my plate as usual)

What is everyone’s favorite egg style?

I like a fried egg, scrambled too, poached as well—-hard boiled and of course deviled!!

Either poached or in a baked good. Lately though I’ve been contemplating making a deviled egg salad to top some crispy pita chips.

While I may be in the middle of a baking spree (I’ll post pictures later), I did make a potato leek Soup and this here Panera knockoff turkey chili.

Scrambled all the way. Don’t mind the odd omelette with celery, capsicum, spinach, mushrooms & of course cheese. Never been fond of poached except as eggs Benedict & smothered in hollandaise sauce but that’s off the menu now 😁

Had to look after niece #3 yesterday but before my brother went to a parent information session at her new school, we had a late lunch early dinner. My niece wanted Mexican & the only thing on the menu without chilli I could eat was … calamari (why is it always calamari?) as they could omit the chilli salt. It was a starter & the waiter said several times it was a very small portion & I’d want to order something else - good grief!! I ate most of it with some help from my niece. Also drank most of the passion fruit & lychee margarita. 😁

I did! I also just added the whole bag of shelled edamame and the rest of the frozen corn bag I had. And I used shredded carrots I had leftover from a something else I made.

Sour patch kids crinkle Cookies, chocolate Reese’s cookies, mint chocolate chip cookies, double chocolate espresso espresso biscotti, mini vanilla cupcakes (I’ll top with buttercream before work), and I tried my hand at royal icing on top of pumpkin shaped sugar cookies… definitely need to practice with the royal icing.

… I did end up eating the small ends from the biscotti, a sour patch cookie (holy sour sweet!), and an unfrosted sugar cookie but still only ended up eating around 1500 calories with the cookies and meals I ate yesterday.

@Arabesque, while the calamari looks good, that drink is MOUTHWATERING. Did it taste as refreshing as it looks???

@Starwarsandcupcakes, All Hail the Cookie QUEEN. Holy crap, I want to jump into that batch of mint chocolate chip Cookies. Are you feeding an army?? I would like to enlist. P.S. I too tried my hand at royal icing many moons ago. I suck and gave up. I also suck a fondant work, but I haven't thrown in the towel for those yet....

I sort of am. I work in a hospital so my coworkers include just about everyone. I try to vary what I make when I bake so that way everyone has something they can enjoy.

Today's lunch...though its past 4pm so maybe its an early dinner?

Anyoo, sat myself on the couch in front of the TV to do some binge watching and dig into this ginormous salad that I made cuz I was STARVING (one of those busy-forgot-to-eat days): 351 calories. Ate about 2/3 of it. Rest went back in the fridge for later.

We like Chicago Med, but have you noticed how very graphic they make their shots of peoples' insides?
