This Recipe sounds good! (I will skip the corn, but maybe throw chick peas in it's place?)

Yum!

I love the picture!

I dressed up as a hooker my senior year in high school. ( For a party..not at school, haha. ) I was pretty straight laced back then. No one was expecting me to look how I did. It was pretty funny.

I woke up in between a memory and a dream...

Good morning menu friends , Love everyone's picture's and recipes . My go to favorites for the crockpot aren't weight loss friendly , so I don't make them anymore. Here's one that I make but I don't follow a recipe . It's swiss steak .

I buy the cheapest steak,one of those big boneless ones . I put it in the crock pot frozen . Chop up an onion , some celery green pepper and a garlic clove . 1 16 oz can of diced tomatoes . I add a few potatoes for my husband . Put the lid on and cook on low all day . The steak comes out so tender and melts in your mouth .

B 1 hard boiled egg , 1 chicken nibbler

L Protein Drink , and

D Turkey spaghetti sauce

S PLAIN GREEK YOGURT

TOTALS 569 cals 81 grams of protein

Have a great weekend .

Great pics!

I'm having a stall already as well. The scale has only moved 1 lb in the past week! I am 4 weeks out and the first week of course the scale didn't really move much but the 2nd and 3rd was great! Now not so much but I can't wait for more weight loss.

Congrats on the scale moving for you again!

Hello Menu crew!

Daisy, Adorable dogs and great photo of you and your hubby!

I don't have a halloween picture to share today, but i do have a recipe

QOTD

FILIPINO CHICKEN ADOBO

Makes 6 to 8 servings

4 to 5 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in

1/2 cup white vinegar

1/3 cup soy sauce

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1 teaspoon black peppercorns, crushed

3 bay leaves (dry works as well as fresh)

EDIT: 3/4 Cup Water (forgot this was for a crockpot, i usually simmer this for a couple hours on the stove while at home)

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

Directions

Remove skin and trim fat from chicken thighs, if desired. Combine the thighs, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, peppercorns, water, and bay leaves in a crockpot/slow cooker. Cover and cook for 6-8 hours on low. Salt and pepper to taste and serve with veggies (or traditionally, over rice). Optional to season and sear thighs before combining all ingredients and putting in a slow cooker, but that's up to you.

My menu today is same as yesterday. I'll be responding to everyone's photos. Great ones i've seen so far! Have a great weekend!
