Has anyone else tried the impossible burger yet?

They’re okay. I like the incogmeato burgers more though I think. Or is it the other way around? 🤔 Either way they’re much better than the veggie sausage patties and I do like them better than most veggie burgers. Don’t overcook them though or they’ll end up dry. I actually have a coupon for a free package from some sample box so thanks for the reminder to use it before it expires.

love red lentils Green ones? Not so much

Same! The green ones never cook quickly enough for my needs (which are 30 mins or less meals) despite how long I prep them 😤

I get them in the frozen burger section of my Kroger but with with the other veggie options at Walmart. 🤷‍♀️ I bought some last week (along with the ribeye) because they were free after coupon, rebate and on your next order coupon. 😂. I like free/cheap food. 🤷‍♀️😂

Also, I’d you haven’t seen this episode of hellthyjunkfood, Julia goes a little into the science of how they’re made and why they might actually taste like beef without being beef.

OMG 😱 now I want to make them from scratch!

Beef Pot Pie (beef, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, celery, onions, leeks, garlic, in a gravy) with homemade biscuit top (because I have not yet mastered pastry crusts, arg!)

My serving: 390 calories...one of my human disposals ate the rest.

I actually ate this really late (around 9-10pm, as I wasn't in the mood to eat at regular dinnertime) and as a result forced myself to stay awake longer than normal for fear of bringing it back up in the middle of the night. Despite going to bed around 4am, I still woke up at 7 (my old person's inner alarm clock works way too well).

P.S. It was delicious.

Maybe it just loses its frenchness and becomes onion Soup. But I did end up going to Olive Garden with the kids for dinner and was able to eat a pretty good sized plate of salad AND a whole bowl of zuppa tuscana soup before being full. So it definitely had to have been the melted cheese because I can do cheese unmelted just fine. 🤷‍♀️

Every time I go to Olive Garden, I eat soooo much salad 😍

Mr. & I went for a drive up in the “country” this afternoon to alleviate the boredom and came across a mushroom farm. Naturally we bought way too many.

Guess its mushrooms in the menu for the next little while!

Still had some leftover pot pie filling from yesterday so basically just served it on rice for the fam. I ate about a tbsp of it when I was checking the warmth of it after microwaving it.

I just make a couple side dishes tonite: Bacon wrapped, oven roasted asparagus, and stuffed portobello mushrooms.

1 tbsp of the pot pie filling, 1 asparagus spear, 1 mushroom cap, and 3 of the cutest little dark chocolate-pecan shortbread Cookies you would ever see: 274 calories

(had also eaten my lunch salad leftovers, but I already logged those calories earlier)

Steak Bites swimming in melted herbed butter, roasted mushrooms and Creamy Mushroom Soup.

The two pics on the right: had 4 steak bites (90g), 3 mushrooms & 3/4 cup of soup, + some red wine:

470 calories (ate/drank it all)

The steak was unbelievably delicious (it was Mr.’s doing ❤️)..: if I could have, I would’ve eaten much, much more. Eff you sleeve AND Thank You sleeve at the same time, lol
