Do you struggle with who eats the food you make?

not usually...Mr. eats a lot, and when The Kid is home, she's a decent eater. i almost always make stuff with the intention to share with friends and family (i am known as the "dessert fairy" 'round these parts, leaving containers of homemade treats and baked goods at their doorstep, hahahhaha...this started at covid - social distancing and all that - and i just kept doing it..."drop off and go"!)

im also big on freezing stuff for later!

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

It is fresh chicken broth that we make at home and freeze or kettle beef broth that I boil and add spices to (mainly cinnamon and a little cajun) and bake the chicken in. The secret is to pour a little spiced broth while you’re baking your chicken (don’t simmer) so that the chicken juice mixes with the broth and result is extremely flavourful tender chicken

White fish Ceviche and Mexican street corn salad (made with a greek yogurt dressing). Below is what I plated for myself but decided to go for seconds for the ceviche and only had one bite of the corn salad (which was really good).

Meals from the last few days-

those cheesy stuffing waffles with over easy eggs and griddled tomatoes (clearly didn’t eat it all)

cottage cheese mixed with cooked onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms then microwaved with marinara and turkey pepperoni (this I will definitely eat again)

lemon poppyseed bread with ricotta, sliced apple, and honey (ate about 3/4 the bread and ricotta)

polenta with French onion roasted green Beans (a kit from the produce section) and shrimp, onions and tomatoes in veggie broth (the kids had theirs mixed with rice)

spicy Thai chili tuna mixed with nonfat yogurt, more reduced sugar Thai chili sauce, and shredded lettuce. Only ate 10 of the Thai chili rice crisps

cottage cheese plate with an everything bagel, strawberries, mini bell peppers, Tomato slices, and lettuce (ate half the bagel, most of the cottage cheese and peppers and about half everything else)

They look like red globe grapes to me but I could be wrong. Fun fact- Japan has a grape variety that grows to almost the size of your palm! More about Japanese grapes here!
