What are you eating?

[TheRealAriel]

This year I am pushing myself to try to find new recipes that I can add to my staples. Especially recipes that aren’t too fussy to make, taste great, and heat up well as leftovers.

Let’s share pictures of our meals we really enjoy here! If somebody else wants to make it, we can share the recipe!

This was my dinner last night: lemon caper pasta. I subbed vegan heavy cream, cashew Parmesan and lentil pasta to make it vegan and add a little extra protein. Couldn’t recommend more! So good and easy!

Good idea for a thread I haven't made anything too special recently, but I will definitely share pics if I do.

@TheRealAriel
I mean, taquitos are amazing xD

I might make tacos tonight. Been craving some good Spanish rice.

Found a great honey mustard dressing recipe. I use spicy mustard in it so it gives my generally sweet salad a spicy kick to it… so yum!

Had pizza with friends yesterday. Today, berries and salad I had TWO pieces of pizza and a couple of pizza bread knots and I was starving afterwards. But berries and salad fill me up and don't hurt my stomach.

I live with a bunch of roommates so I can't cook easily like I use to, but I'm fiddling with things. That lemon caper pasta looks really delicious.

I'll be trying that veggie burger real soon! Haven't made it back to the store yet.

I'm a glazed ham person.

1 Costco master carve half ham, cut in half (I cook 1/2 of the ham at a time due to having a small pan size, if you want to glaze a whole ham, double the recipe)

Glaze: (Source: Home doubled)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves

Measure ingredients into a saucepan and stir together. Preheat the oven for the ham to 350 degrees.

Heat on medium (4 or 5 on most ranges) for 3 minutes past bubbling or until the mixture is both bubbling and caramel in color. If it is yellow and bubbling, it's not ready yet. Do not turn up the burner to speed up the process as that will scorch the sugar.

While you are waiting for the glaze to be ready, cut the ham if needed and place it in the pan you are going to cook it in. When the glaze is ready, pour it on the ham immediately. Glaze should be somewhat runny - that's normal. Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil and place in the oven for 30 minutes. Cut ham and serve.

------------------------------------------

I keep the leftover ham in the refrigerator inside a gallon Ziploc bag and just pour the glaze from the pan into the bottom of the bag. Then I cut the ham into 1/2 inch thick slices and eat it with swiss cheese on 2 bagels for breakfast with apple slices. The cooking takes a little time, but it makes for a quick and easy breakfast in the morning for about 2 weeks per ham, and it's a lot more nutritious than having bacon or sausage.

Thanks! I struggle with eating too much so I have found the best solution for me is to make really tasty food that satisfies me without binging.

This morning I’m having cozy Cajun black eyed pea/collared green soup with cornbread.

I had salmon tonight. Trying to get away from the burger patty all the time for dinner. More fish and leaner meats. I did try mushrooms and onions with it, but it wasn't a good combination lol.

I am working on perfecting avocado toast, here is my love letter to it:

I'm eating spinach, tomatoes, and chickpeas with scrambled eggs.
