Food Before and After Photos

My kids “mystery box” ‘ed me tonight, so this was dinner- cheesy stuffing waffles (crispy, delicious… recommend), air fryer buttermilk chicken legs, Caesar roasted broccoli, balsamic cucumber and Tomato salad. I also used about a tbsp of BBQ Sauce for my chicken leg

Gonna use the leftover waffles for Breakfast sandwiches this week

Waffles recipe - 1tbsp butter, 1/2 onion finely diced, box of stovetop or similar stuffing mix, 2 eggs, 4oz cheese, vegetable broth to moisten

Sautéed onion. In butter until lightly browned. Add a bit of broth to get up any goodness in the bottom of the pan. Pour into bowl with stuffing mix

Preheat waffle maker

blend eggs with cheese until smooth. Mix into stuffing mix. Add broth until soupy. Don’t worry. After it sits a few minutes it thickens. I think I used 3 cups for 2 boxes.

spray waffle maker and scoop in stuffing mix. Used about a cup a waffle. Cook for 6-8 minutes until crispy and delicious.

Random saladand Egg salad open faced sandwich

This is the only time I miss bread. An egg & lettuce sandwich or a cucumber sandwich, on white bread, are heavenly. I used to soak my cucumbers in balsamic vinegar for an hour or so before.

Mmm? Now I’m wondering if it’s worth the groaning & complaining tummy & general blah feeling of eating bread just to have one of them.

Totally not worth it 😝

I couldn’t always tolerate bread (and I still don’t eat soft breads) but over time it’s become easier.

I like cucumbers soaked in sesame oil and lime

jumped on the focaccia train the other day...

clockwise from top left: (1) brie, honey, walnut, pear (2) everything bagel seasoning (3) garlic confit and rosemary (4) roasted grape, goat cheese and honey

(the brie one got a little too melty and caramelized, but the others turned out well lol)

k, i didn't feel like washing a bowl (all were dirty in the dishwasher) so i just ate this approx ½ cup of ice cream straight out of the container.

yes, im an animal...lolololzzzz

160 calories for ½ a cup of this yummer ice cream.

no after picture...so just imagine an empty container, ha!

cheesy waffle (not for me) & burger w/ fries (split between 2 people)

I liked the idea of the cheesy waffle but then I made it and decided it was not for me.

Tea sandwiches? Do you mean finger sandwiches like you’d have at a high tea? Oh, just googled it. They are the same.

Can’t say I’d blame you @GreenTealael. cheese waffles just sound wrong. Don’t get the savoury waffle thing.

I can literally smell this through my screen! The look amazing.

Do you struggle with who eats the food you make?

Dinner:

Spiced chickpea rice with caramelized onions, baby carrots and roasted corn. Cinnamon broth baked chicken and a side of tzatziki. I ate one thigh, 2 chickpeas and 2 baby carrots.

This looks amazing! What is in the cinnamon broth (besides cinnamon of course)?
