I Made Sushi!

I decided to have a go at making sushi so I could take it for lunch. I worked Monday and Tuesday, so I made these on Sunday afternoon. I learned there are recipes for sushi rice, which was a surprise. Apparently, you take the cooked sushi rice and add a mixture of seasoned rice vinegar,Continue reading “I Made Sushi!”

Roast Beef Roll-Ups

It’s time to prep lunches again! This time I decided to do something with roast beef. I saw something similar online, and it looked great… so why not? This is pretty simple: sliced roast beef, cheddar cheese slices, green chilis, and thinly slice red onion. I really wanted the whole green chilis, but my localContinue reading “Roast Beef Roll-Ups”

Lunch Prep: Pizza Zuke Boats

Trying to get back on the diet wagon, I picked out a couple of fun recipes. I actually made some egg, green chili, and cheese burritos with almond flour tortillas, but didn’t take pictures. They were very tasty, but not particularly pretty. And I forgot. But ANYWAY. I did take pictures of the pizza zucchiniContinue reading “Lunch Prep: Pizza Zuke Boats”

Acorn Squash Stuffed with Sautéed Spinach and Truffle Goat Cheese

My previous post involved meal prepping my work lunches. One of the meals was an Italian cauliflower bake. The other meal is this one. It’s vegetarian and deeelicious! I cut my acorn squashes in half and scrape out the seeds and guts. I like to also put a nice coat of olive oil on mine,Continue reading “Acorn Squash Stuffed with Sautéed Spinach and Truffle Goat Cheese”

Italian Cauliflower Bake

I’m making lunches for work tomorrow. I guess the buzz phrase is “meal prepping.” I have found if I don’t plan ahead and bring food, I’m likely to eat things that aren’t on my diet. Shocking! I work 12-hour shifts plus intermittent fasting, so I need two meals. My lunch is usually easy to get,Continue reading “Italian Cauliflower Bake”

Bunless burgers

I’ve been working with my doctor on my weight loss, and I asked her which diet was best. I’m at the point where I know what has worked for me in the past, and I know what I enjoy, but nothing seems to work anymore. I’ve tried calorie restriction, low carb, primal/paleo, Noom, Weight Watchers,Continue reading “Bunless burgers”

Deep Dish Pizza… in a Crockpot?!

Hooooooboy, are you in for a treat! Well, to be more precise, WE were in for a treat last night. My sweetheart and I were looking for recipes to make something in the crockpot this weekend. My go-to is kalua pork, but we wanted something different this time. I’ve heard you can make a decentContinue reading “Deep Dish Pizza… in a Crockpot?!”

Braised Lamb (no hike) 15Apr2022

This week I didn’t hike. Boooooo! It was my 3-day off stretch, but I had a meeting one one of the days and picked up an extra shift teaching on another day, so I only had one day off. I was exhausted! I still had to cook dinner, though, and my sweetheart asked for braisedContinue reading “Braised Lamb (no hike) 15Apr2022”
