Re: Whatcha Eatin'?

Went to a diner that's been here in Bethesda since the 30's...we generally have dinner there when we visit the NIH for this study we are doing... I had their beef tips with noodles and steamed broccoli and carrot cake. Anyhow...so excited because tomorrow is chicken and dumplings for the special!!!

Just ate one Snowball (snack cake) and a southwest wrap from Walmart with Sriracha sauce slathered on it.

I eat weird things in the morning. >.>

Cooked a burrito in the oven a bit too long, so I had to soak it in some hot sauce for a little bit then I threw some sour cream and refried beans on top to balance out the added spice.

Too bad I didn't have any guacamole or spanish rice, but it turned out well I'd say.

Sounds good,I like burritos like that myself with sour cream and Guacamole..Spanish rice sounds good as a side.

I thought the pictures of food was a neat idea, so here's a pic of my dinner:



Baked potato slices!
It works out to be about 280 calories, so it's healthier than it seems

I make eggplant slices like that - baked with tomato sauce & mozzarella on top. It's like eggplant parm without the oil. One of my Facebook friends from back home in Jersey is posting pics of real pizza and it's killing me. LOL

Re: Whatcha Eatin'?

I actually like it better than fried!
Fried tastes delicious while you're eating it, but afterwards, my stomach always feels yucky and heavy...
This just sort of fries the outside a little bit and leaves the inside potato like; I love it!

Here's the basic recipe I use, if anyone's interested.

Oh! That sounds delicious too...

Re: Whatcha Eatin'?

That looks good, and I agree about fried foods. "Real" eggplant parm is made with olive oil, which is better than others, but eggplant is like a sponge, and you use a ridiculous amount of oil! I've made it in a casserole dish with little to no oil and it comes out just fine - you bread the eggplant slices, bake them, layer with ricotta & tomato sauce & mozzarella , top with parmesan, and bake until the cheese is ready. You just use oil to grease the pan!

I have had the battered,fried egg plant before...never thought it could be baked...making me think here.

Re: Whatcha Eatin'?

Google "baked eggplant parm" - there are lots of recipies, all pretty similar - make to your own taste! The marinara sauce recipe I use is:
2 teasp. Olive oil
1 shallot, diced
1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
1/4 teasp. (or to taste) crushed red pepper flakes
a couple pinches of salt
2 heaping tablespoons each of finely chopped fresh basil and parsley

In medium pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add shallots, saute a few minutes until translucent. Add tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and salt. Stir, reduce heat, lightly bubble for 8-10 minutes, turn off heat, stir in herbs.

A pre-packaged creamy chicken soup. A little bland the way they had it, but I fixed it. Not too bad.

If we can just change the ketchup for ranch or chipotle mayo I'd totally be down!! I am sure ketchup is healthier than either of my options but they look great. I love potatoes.
