Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Wednesday, 1/31/2018

Happy Wednesday! Mom and I are going shopping today. Girls day out! We will finish up with lunch/dinner at Red Lobster. Should be a really fun day!

QOTD: What is your favorite kitchen appliance? I love my sous vide, my food processor (which is a cheap one, but is a fantastic work horse) and my pressure cooker (Instant Pot). All of which have replaced my deep fryer. Who says good food has to be fried!

M1: Coffee, PP vanilla, miralax

M2: Egg drop miso w/ chicken soup

M3: Red Lobster (TBD)

M4: Skipping

M5: LO brisket with mushroom gravy (noodles for family) (another meal that seems to get eternally postponed)

S: Jerky or other protein forward snack if needed

E: Shopping!

Water/Vits: on track

I've got a full day on the docket today. I've got an appointment to renew my passport around 11, followed by a trip to the grocery store for the week's groceries. Before and after it's working on my paper and, maybe, getting my discussion post for GERO posted. I made GREAT progress on my paper yesterday, so I'm feeling less overwhelmed. Other than that it's just cooking dinner and date night with Art!

QOTD: There is only one small kitchen appliance I would replace IMMEDIATELY, and that's my immersion blender. So I suppose it's my favorite :D

1: protein shake
2: leftover Chipotle steak bowl
3: sous vide lamb chops (4 hours @ 130F), "Smoked" & Roasted Whole Cauliflower from my cookbook of the week - Modern Israeli Cuisine

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: maybe yoga? If I have time. I didn't have time for anything yesterday.

Happy Hump Day. I'm happy to be working at home today - I'm tired and happy not to have one hour of commute each way.

QOTD: I love my kitchenaid mixer. It is amazing. I used to annually buy a cheapo hand mixer and burn through it each year and then finally invested in the kitchenaid. I LOVE IT. I also treated myself to the pasta attachment recently and made pasta with 00 flour. It's so soft and silky that I can actually eat a little without it being too heavy in my tummy. I'm happy to indulge in a little quality pasta once in a while, even if the quantity is small. I also received a vitamix a few years ago as a gift - it is also amazing.

B: english muffin with cottage cheese, sprinkled with cinnamon and cheddar melted on top - shared with the dogs, so probably actually ate 1/2 a muffin. This is an old WW recipe -and yummy

L: leftover enchillada

D: planning to cook - so maybe chicken or a steak, veg

S: the damn GS cookies - wisely, I only bought 1 box of thin mints for home!

Good morning! We just returned from walking/coffee. Next on the docket: lunch by the pool.

QOTD: #1 is ABSOLUTELY my Keurig coffee maker (I LOVE coffee these days). Next would be my InstantPot.

1 year, 10 months post-op

B: eggs, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: Burger poolside with sauerkraut

D: Either leftover grilled chicken and veggies or going out

S: Almonds

Sounds like retirement is agreeing with you Liz x

So happy for you :)

Thank you!

Hello all- my favorite kitchen appliance would have to be my crockpot. I love being able to throw food into the pot and bam! When I come home or wake up dinners done- lol! I received an airfyer for Christmas but have not had the chance to use it yet. I'm pretty sure it won't replace my crockpot.

M1: premier protein

M2: Greek yogurt

M3: Scallops or fish

S1: yougurt

S2:? Maybe broth based soup

Good morning,

Qotd electric grill and my instapot

B ham and cheese omelette and string cheese

L tuna, cottage cheese and kale salad

D low carb beef stroganoff and green beans

Have a good day

Nothing too exciting happening today, but I'll be happy to make it over the half-way point of the work week!

QOTD: This changes every few months or so, but currently it's probably my immersion blender, including the mini food-processer-like attachment that comes with it. I also really love my Instant Pot, but I haven't used it much since surgery. Though I plan to change that this weekend. :)

M1: Premier Protein + Cold Brew + SF Syrup

M2: Bacon Ranch Chicken Salad + String Cheese

M3: Cottage Cheese

M4: Grilled Turkey + Dill Havarti Roll-ups

M5: 1/4 of a Protein Mug Cake

Good morning! A day out with your mom sounds lovely Ladyblu, have fun!

QOTD-I think I am a little behind the times when it comes to kitchen appliances. I love my little toaster oven and my coffee maker. I can't live without my George Foreman Grill:-) I would like to have a really good blender, maybe a Vitamix or a Bullet.

B-same ole plain greek yogurt with sf pudding mix(lemon) and pumpkin seeds

L-Orgain vanilla protein shake w/PB2

S-Chai tea with cream and stevia, string cheese and 1/2 sm apple

D-Insides of an Italian Jimmy Jon's sub with extra lettuce

E-Hike with my dog at an equestrian park

I hope you all have a safe and peaceful Wednesday!
