What’s for dinner?

Tomatoes and green peppers stuffed with rice and herbs, with feta cheese and sourdough bread.
A classic summer dish!

Been a long time since I made stuffed peppers. Sounds delicious! 😋

4th of July and our neighbors are shaking the neighborhood apart with fireworks. 🎇

(Edit-Fireworks turned into a raucous thunderstorm with 100mph/160 kmh winds and crazy close lightning with driving rain. Lot of trees and power poles and lines down and an assortment of damage around the area. We were lucky to keep our power. Neighbors picked up where they left off with their fireworks until almost 2:00am 🥱)

We got wild and crazy and had turkey burgers. 😆 And I made a Brown Butter Blueberry Crumb Cake. An evil friend showed me this person’s channel. Had to try one of her recipes. It was good!

I wasn't really hungry and it was already quite late, so I just made myself some instant miso soup. It was filling, yummy and warming. Everything I needed in that moment :)

Breakfast - muesli plus lots of fresh fruits and cuppa sweet coffee with cream.

in an effort to loose weight ( hasn't helped) i prepped 3 days worth of quinoa salads with some sauteed onion,pepers,and mushrooms in it , with a rotisserie chicken breast (shredded) reheated/seasoned in a homemade batch of fajita seasoning , with some cherry tomatoes , avocado , mexican blend of cheese , n some sour cream on top ( was gonna be greek yogurt but he bought the wrong container!) ...

tasted good all mixed up and i was fuller from it but i accidentally killed my wok in the process not realizing the burner was left on between the veggie prep and the chicken heating when he was pulling chk apart for me :( now i need a new one ,.. today we had takeout so a wonton soup n buddha lo mein for me

Quinoa has quite a bit of calories. I don't know if its possible to get it where you are, but konjac or shirataki noodles works very well. Its a very healthy yam based noodle that is only 17 calories per serving. But its usually sold in wet form and you have to rinse it very thoroughly bc otherwise there is a very unpleasant fishy odour to it. And you have to be careful - it also comes in dry form but there are a lot of fake Taiwanese and mainland products that add a ton of starch to it and it therefore has the same amount of calories as any normal noodle. It should be consumed in modest serving - usually 1 packet lasts me two meals so its about 7.5 calories per meal. I usually stick to Japanese brands. Its a wonderful noodle - hard to overcook and easy to flavour - I stir fry it, use it to make soupy noodles from pho to even laksa. I even sometimes just dry fry it in a pan with low heat and then pour curry chicken or some dish with lots of sauce over it. I try not to eat carbs at night so konjac really hits the spot whenever I get a craving to have some for dinner. Since I still eat a fair amount of carbs during the day it just helps keeps my weight stable. A friend of mine used it to replace all her carbs for a month and she lost a ton of weight.
