From my sons grad food spread. What’s funny is I never did eat anything bc I was so busy til everyone left and so by then all I got to eat was some guacamole and some cucumbers with ranch dip.

Congrats on his graduation ♥️♥️

The cake is beautiful!!
I’m not sure on the whole no one eats cake anymore. We however did cupcakes instead of a cake (less having to cut and serve)

CONGRATULATIONS btw!!!🥳

This all looks delicious. @GreenTealael your niece is very talented. And isn’t that always the way @Kris77. You put in all the effort to cater & present a most beautiful spread & then you spend all the time rushing about ‘hosting’ that you don’t get to really enjoy any of it.

Congratulations to all the graduates.

This was the dessert at my nieces recent elopment celebration. Was supposed to be a brownie - more a mud cake - with berries and a berry sorbet. You can see my little taste of the cake on the side. Did have a second taste & I had a little of the surgery. Rich but delicious.

Poke bowls post workout.

Hubby’s bowl:

White rice, salmon, edamame, cucumber and carrot ribbons, avocado, spring onions. Added later: crushed nori, birds eye chili and a spicy mayo dressing (spicy mayo, ponzu and a little ketchup). I kinda like the before picture better lol.

My sad bowl 😂

At least ate a decent amount.
It’s pretty much the same sans the rice, had one bite of avocado and passed to hubby and barely had any dressing.

My daughter’s High School graduation cake. After the party we threw away 1/2 of it instead of eating everything. I’m noticing that cake isn’t a big thing with anyone I know anymore. Anyone else noticed Desserts are being left uneaten?

Congrats to your Graduate!!! Such and exciting time for them!!

food from the last week- lemon vegetable orzo and garlic cheese breadsticks (ate it all)

Sheppard’s pie, roasted red pepper ranch cucumber salad, and fresh pineapple (ate it all)

Not quite a frittata but spinach, bell pepper, chili powder caramelized onions, mushrooms, garlic, sharp white cheddar, with rosemary sea salt and saffron infused eggs alongside a slice of brioche toast (ate it all… I think?) The blue cup has light mocha iced coffee in it- drank all that.

steakhouse seasoned burgers- mine was on a Hawaiian roll with roasted red pepper mayo, pepper jack cheese, Vidalia onions, banana peppers, and pickles (lettuce and Tomato on the side) alongside Parmesan ranch smashed red potatoes. (Obviously didn’t eat it all)

Im still not counting calories right now but down another lb so I’m not worried about it.

Your ‘frittata’ looks very much like what I called my ‘omelette’ @Starwarsandcupcakes. eggs and whatever vegetables are on hand and cheese. I often made it for lunch. Still haven’t tested to see if my tummy likes eggs again. When i do, & if it does, I’ll be making it again - whatever it really is. 😁 Always so tasty.

I can only tolerate eggs sometimes, mostly hardboiled. Also if something smells like eggs, I can’t eat it. Even if I already started eating, I can’t continue.

It’s been this way my entire life so it might be a true aversion (even my children inherited my egg smelling abilities) but after revision, it became 10 times worse.
