Three Days of Meals

Sunday: Everything here is pretty standard fare. Observe my deep and enduring love for carbs lol.

  • The tortillas are La Tortilla Factory's Low Carb Whole Wheat Tortillas, 50 calories apiece.

  • The bun is the lowest I could find, Franz Whole Wheat Bun for 130 calories.

  • White Cheddar Corn Puffs are from Trader Joe's.

  • I also cooked up some braised short ribs and a chickpea stew for this week's lunch.

Monday:

  • The cream cheese was a seasonal product from Trader Joe's, and I'm almost out :'(

  • Spicy Chickpea Stew recipe is from here, although I subbed sweet potato for butternut squash, and diced tomatoes with tomato sauce for crushed tomatoes. I also left out a couple of ingredients, like the harissa and parsley.

  • Braised Short Ribs recipe is from here, although I left out the port and used all red wine instead, and put in a ton less olive oil.

  • Dinner was a lot of food for 280 calories! The cod I rubbed with different spices and cooked on the stove in some bacon fat.

Tuesday:

  • Fig butter is from Trader Joe's. I sprinkled some edible flowers over it because...I'm not sure why I bought them in the first place and they were starting to dry up.

  • Yay, Dave's Killer Bread now makes thin-sliced lower calorie bread! I got their Powerseed, which is 60 calories per slice. I mixed avocado and sun-dried tomato pesto together and spread it on top.

  • I wanted to make an open-faced sandwich with the bread but also had to use up the rest of yesterday's cod fillet, so I wrapped the cod in bacon and baked it in the oven. Baked for about 15 minutes at 425, then I took it out and seared it quickly in the pan, just to crisp up the bacon. Plopped it on top of sliced radishes, spinach, and the bread.
