I thought the same thing Cynthia.

Yes, meat/fish is protein, nuts are protein, eggs have protein, tofu has protein. (spoken in best schoolteacher voice.)

I feel really dumb that I dont know this off the top of my head. And now I'm wondering how I passed Foods with an A.

You are still young. And you are learning to cook, so that will help expand your nutrition knowledge.

[Phoenix]

I think I'm gonna make my 2 min. taco salad tonight...mmmm yummy!

[Pam]

can of vegetarian chili. girl scout cookies. earl gray tea.

[Cynthia]

I'm soaking some black-eyed peas. Not sure yet what I will do with them.

[Justin]

Make a spicy bean salsa.



@Esme: You passed Foods because you kissed up to the teacher at every possible moment.

[Carol]

I had seafood diavalo for the first time. y.u.m.

[Félix]

At home, Carol?

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Last night we had a brown rice bowl with seared cherry tomatoes, nitrate free bacon, avocado, sunflower seeds, and a sauce including a few random things such as rice wine vinegar. It was quite yummy.

[Pam]

That sounds yummy, Stacia! I would leave the bacon out, though.

[Carol]

Oh! Is that a requirement for this thread? No, sadly.
All seafood is eaten at a restaurant because I'm the only one who likes it. I'm sure I could make the sauce, though!

[Félix]

No I was just wondering if you prepared it yourself. I don't think that's a requirement, though.

Mmmmm.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Brown rice cooked with chicken broth, topped with grated romano cheese and cracked black pepper. It sounds banal but it's incredibly delicious. I'm going to incorporate more brown rice into my life.

[[deleted user]]

Beef stroganoff.

[Félix]

I like stroganoff, too. I'm the only one in the house who does, though. Pizza here tonight from Old Chicago.

[[deleted user]]

Macoroni and Cheese, an apple pastry and a salad. And a slice of coffee cake.

@Justin: Can you refrain from picking on me for one moment??

[Félix]

Seriously, Justin.

[Cynthia]

I used the black eyed peas in a greek salad (thanks, epicurious.com) that included tomatoes, cucumbers, orzo pasta, mint, lemon juice and zest, a bit of olive oil, parsley, Kalmata olives and some baby greens.

My youngest and I had the leftovers on tortillia chips last night.

[Sarah]

Stephanie, I haven't seen that yoghurt, but it's relatively low sugar for flavored yogurts from the store, so that's cool. 10 g sugar per 113 g serving for the honey flavor. So that's only 1/11th sugar, way better than most of the desserts that are masquerading as yogurt - some of which are 1/4 sugar.

[janine]

leftover spaghetti w/ meatballs.

[Sarah]

I need dinner inspiration, people. I'm stopping at Trader Joe's on the way home since I am out of everything perishable.

What can I have that isn't my usual pasta-and-vegetable or beans-and-vegetable? I have tofu. I'd consider tofu-and-vegetable. I'm normally good at this game, but I'm not feeling inspired, and if I don't come up with something ahead of time, I'll just buy my usual ingredients and then stare at them and be bored. Not that I'm usually bored, but it's rainy and I'm tired and hungry.

[Cynthia]

tofu veg with a Thai base (coconut milk, lemon grass, fish sauce)

[Pam]

SOUP & Homemade bread.

[Pam]

Yum, I'm eating at Cynthia's.

[Sarah]

All of those sound good, except TJ doesn't sell fish sauce and I haven't had any since mine dropped and spilled a year or so ago. (NB: DON'T SPILL FISH SAUCE. The kitchen stank for weeks.)

I've already made chickpeas once this week, but not moroccan style.

I think I'm just pining for spring. I don't get inspired to cook until I have veggies coming out my ears.

[Cynthia]

Pam wrote: "Yum, I'm eating at Cynthia's."

I was trying to inspire Sarah Pi! I don't know yet what we are having. Definitely wine.

Spilled fish sauce=stink ole. Any grocery story has fish sauce in the Thai section. If I can find it in Iowa, you big city chefs should be able to pick some up at the Kwik-E-Mart! How about pad thai with tofu?

[Sarah]

Trader Joe's doesn't have sections, really. It just has what it has. You have to be very zen to shop there.

I'll get more eventually - I have lots of Asian grocers nearby. I just prefer to leave the fish sauce to the professionals sometimes :)

[[deleted user]]

A cream cheese bagel.

[Justin]

Nutritious, Esme.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Roast chicken, green beans and carrots, mashed sweet potatoes.

[Sarah]

I ended up making quinoa and carrots, spinach, mushrooms, and sweet potatoes. Not fantastic, but not bad either.

[Sarah]

I like the golden ones better too.

[Phil]

Gyros from "The Mad Pita."

[Félix]

In Las Vegas?

[Phil]

In St. George. We drive to Vegas in the AM, after my son's soccer game.

[Sally, la reina]

Taquitos.

[[deleted user]]

Two footlong turkey subs from Subway. And a cheese pizza.

[Félix]

Two?!

[[deleted user]]

I have a big appetite!

[Félix]

I guess. :)

[[deleted user]]

Atleast it's something healthy that I'm stuffing down.

[Phil]

Cheese pizza? Not so much.

[Michele]

I made baked haddock, tater tots and salad for last night's supper. no leftovers.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Tonight it's going to be a Potbelly Uptown salad. I just finished a strawberry shake...

That's what I'm having for dinner too! Along with a loaded turkey sandwich and two packs of their tiny oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. And maybe a pickle.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I like the Uptown salad. And this time I made sure he put the chicken on, before I left.

[Jim]

Chili with corn bread.
