What's on your Monday Menu, RNYers?

Good Monday morning menu folks! I'm really dragging this morning so I will need that long morning walk to get going.

JB, I wish you the best in the reshuffle. I hope that it ends up being a good thing for you. Also I hope that your achilles continues to mend, especially for the trip.

QOTD: I love Indian and Thai, but I haven't had either since surgery. I'm a bit concerned since I always ate lots of rice and noodle dishes in each.

Breakfast: egg whites with feta cheese

Snack: Fuzzy Navel protein shake

Lunch: Leftover chicken veggie stirfry

Snack: Greek yogurt with SF raspberry jam

Dinner: Leftover BBQ chicken breast

Exercise: long walk this morning

I still eat both. I just order something with meat & veggies, eat about a cup of it, and skip the rice.

QOTD: My favorite ethnic food category would definitely have to be potatoes.

I grew up in an Irish family and hated the potatoes. I was forced to eat them. My mother would make sit at the table until I cleaned my plate. She finally compromised and allowed me to get my own portions as long as I ate at least one spoon of potatoes.

In our house they were either boiled with the skins on, or peeled and mashed. I did not learn about French fries until I was in my teens and could not believe they were from the same vegetable.

There is a restaurant near my house that makes mashed potatoes with equal parts potatoes and butter. They are incredibly delicious and are the devil's food. I love/hate them.

Equal parts? I'm not one for skimping on butter. I suppose I could try them, and just add more of my own butter.

Like a good Irish Lad should!!

Quick post while I dry my hair! Running late this morning!

qotd: I have yet to be introduced to a cuisine I don't enjoy! Haha it's a curse and a blessing!

menu:

b: premier protein

l: I prob won't have time to pack it, so my go on days like that has been McDonald's breakfast sandwich without the English muffin.

D: either beef or turkey burgers I think.

have a good one gang!

hi all

weekend was a busy one. Saturday I went to Super H amrt (an asian grocery store) and bought all kinds f veggies, spices etc and ate bimibap for the first time. It was beef ribeye, carrots, bean sprouts, and radish. When I asked the lady what the vegetable was, she was like, its just radish that is pickeled. then she said, you want more? and brought me more. It was so good that I made my own version last night for DH. It was so good and I have leftovers today. Best part, within meal plan as I don't make with rice, except for DH. I also got some other stuff like dried pollack and pho starter etc. Also went to trader joes, sprouts and aldi. It was so fun running around.

yesterday I move a literal 1/2 river sand into the chicken run. It was pretty exhausting and I did some more gardening so that was a fun break to hauling sand.

Food for today.

coffee/miralax/prot powder

yogurt/leftover bimimap/mushrooms/

not sure on dinner yet but I'm going to do something fun.

QOTD: I would say indian/ greek are my fav. I can't handle not eating pasta so I generally stay away from italian dishes OR make my faux versions like lasagna with veg noodles.

JB- I think this could be an awesome opportunity for you in your career.

Good Morning JB and Menu Family!

Good luck with your work situation, Julia! I hope it works out into something even better for you.

QOTD: I haven't tried a lot of different cuisines, but of the ones I've tried I probably like Mexican best.

B: prosciutto & mozzarella sticks

L: chicken and wild rice soup

D: taco meat & melted cheese

S: light n fit Greek yogurt

Exercise: Walking Blossom around the subdivision

Have a great day everyone!
