What are you eating today (either related to the Super Bowl or not)?→[More:]
I'm having artichoke dip, guacamole, and spiced pistachios during the game. For dinner, a pot roast that I cooked slooooowly in red wine yesterday.
Tonight, shredded BBQ pork and sweet potato fries. Plus some soft pretzel things with jalapenos inside. And lots of Crystal Light lemonade, and probably something a little stronger later.
I had a ham and cheese omelette for brunch, and I just had dinner - chicken stuffed with a whole head of garlic, a lemon cut in two, a handful of herbs, a drizzle of olive oil and salt & pepper over the skin, then roasted, served with broccoli, carrots, cauliflower and asparagus.
I have raspberries for dessert, which I'll eat with crème fraîche.
I still can't cook properly (bandaged hand) so I've been subsisting mostly on prepared foods or the simplest possible recipes. The cupboard is getting pretty bare, though.
I think today I'll cook down the last bit of black bean soup until it's nice and thick, put it in a dish with an egg or two, and have baked eggs coddled in black bean goop. We also have a bit of leftover guacamole which A) should go well with the dish and B) seems thematically appropriate for Game Day.
For breakfast I had bacon, fried eggs, tomatoes and a slice of bread. For dinner a Marks and Spencers Seafood Stew and some more bread, followed by yoghurt.
I had an egg fried in soy sauce, sesame oil and sriracha over steamed jasmine rice, and a big bowl of fruit salad (breakfast of champions). Lunch will be broccoli pasta, I imagine. Dinner will be bar food and alcohol. GO STEELERS!
Reheating some homemade pizza for lunch that we had last night - mushrooms, green pepper, grilled zucchini and summer squash with pepperoni. Chicken curry for dinner. No Superbowl here, but it's a nice day, maybe a drive.
Yesterday I made iconomy's Sunday Gravy from the crockpot thread and it was AMAZING. We had it last night over spaghetti; tonight, it will be meatball subs with fresh mozzarella on top. YUM.
Strips of chicken breast, bell pepper and onions done fajita-style, fried hot, and then put into quesadillas. Guacamole. And then the wild card, Vinho Verde.
Had the most meat I've eaten for over a month this past weekend, due to dinner out with my husband and a friend at a Korean restaurant this past Friday, followed by the repast my husband cooked up for me for the game yesterday: humongous barbecued beef ribs, carrot/cabbage cole slaw, baked beans, garlic bread, and baked sweet potato "french fries." I also had a glass of wine, the third for the weekend (one on Friday, one on Saturday, one last night) after a dry January.
It was delicious but I think I'm returning to my vegetarian/vegan and alcohol free ways now . . . I like going without meat and drinking very little to no alcohol.
