What's On Your Thursday Menu, RNYers?

I just felt a little tingle.

When I eat steak, I eat steak, when I eat popcorn, I eat popcorn. I'm not really a mixer. And I can't do butter anymore. I used to put a whole stick of butter on a bowl of popcorn.  Mmmmmmmm, buttah.

I get the same thrill Anny! I start work at 7am and can't wait to see AV's face every morning!

You can do the high protein/low carb, you know you can. Look at how successful you are and what you have accomplished.  Go back a year ago to what you were eating on you MFP account, might spark some new ideas and help get you back on track.  I just do an overall high protein/low carb for my daily menu.  I really work hard on at least 100 grams of protein a day and I try to keep the carbs low but I am thinking I need more fat in my diet to help with going to the bathroom so it might take my carbs up so as long as I got the protein in I am pretty happy.  I certainly remember early out from surgery being in the grocery store with hand written notes that I had from my nutrition classes and reading, reading, reading labels like it was a full time job!  That was exhausting.  I find now if I am going to try a new food I will 100% check the label, I want little to no sugar and under 10 grams of carbs for that serving of whatever it is and the protein has to be more than the carbs .  

Hope that helps!

I HATE when my family eats MY food!  I mean I don't mind within reason.  But one time my daughter ate a bunch of my Quest bars, I was like...CHILD you have SO MANY snacks in the house that you can eat, stay away from my protein bars! HAHA

QOTD: I'm trying to think of something for this....when we were kids we used to dip our potato chips in our kool-aid.  I wouldnt do it now, but I guess that is strange.  lol

Your menu looks really good!  Except for the portobella mushroom part.  I love mushrooms, but not those ones.  Blech.  LOL

The "pizza" was actually really good last night!!  So you like mushrooms, all except the portobella?  Curious....

The texture is odd to me.  It's too meaty.  Or something.  LOL

Well they are ...chewier....so I guess I can see that

Please don't use "too meaty" in a derogatory manner. Things cannot be too meaty.

Good morning!

QOTD:  French fries with mayonnaise instead of ketchup or vinegar - discovered this combo  in Germany and loved it. Fat on fried starch - yum! Also like apple juice on cereal instead of milk (lactose intolerant). Neither feature in my food groups these days.
