âHi there, tumblr folks. Itâs been a while, hasnât it? I hope that...â
I have been home for about 3 weeks, except for a few trips out. Fairly healthy, just worrying about EVERYONE else. Congratulations on successfully (and delicious looking) dieting! If you wanted to share recipes, I would be really excited
Ugh I hear that... the number of arguments iâve had with my parents is beyond ridiculous. I think that now our governor has officially issued a âStay at Homeâ order they are finally willing to suck it up and deal with their cabin fever at home.Â
Now that said, be careful what you wish for! Here are some of my recent go-to/winner recipes that Iâve been playing with. The hardest part of this for me has really been keeping up with the amount of produce...
https://cookieandkate.com/best-ratatouille-recipe/Â (I have made this several times, and also have some in my freezer, just in case. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.)
https://www.wellplated.com/rosemary-chicken-thighs-apples-brussels-sprouts/Â (made this last night, and itâs a winner!)
https://damndelicious.net/2013/06/03/quinoa-stuffed-bell-peppers/Â (full disclosure: i added ground beef because i had it, and also i get sick of quinoa kind of fast... still tasted good though!)
https://www.rachaelraymag.com/recipe/spanikopita-burgers (these burgers are a staple. iâve also adapted the burger recipe into a meatloaf, adding egg and some breadcrumbs, and it works/freezes really well)
https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/everything-bagel-roasted-salmon (super easy & tasty. toss some veggies on the sheet pan too, and youâve got a one pan meal. alternately, just put some pesto and lemon on top of the salmon instead and roast)
https://www.frugallivingmom.com/lemon-pesto-chicken-freezer-meal-recipe-ad/Â (could it be any easier?)
Beyond those highlights, Iâve also just done basics like a slow cooker chicken & salsa, shredded for salads. Or just making taco meat for lettuce tacos/taco salad, etc. Roasting a bunch of (not potato) veggies with olive oil & balsamic vinegar. And dry roasted chickpeas (salted or buffalo flavor!) have been magical... definitely helps with snacking.
