Sounds similar to what I eat. My standard breakfast / brunch at home is stir fried: mushrooms, snow peas, asparagus in season, green beans, zucchini, broccolini and kale with scrambled eggs. Varies with what’s in the garden and what’s in the fridge.stui magpie wrote:nah mate, that's brunch

You can shove the Kale straight up your back passage.
It's a good size feed which is why i skip breakfast and lunch and have thzt for brunch. You need to learn portion control tubby, and get the dentist to pull that sweet tooth.

Made a vegetable medley last night.
slices of Lebanese Eggplant, Zucchini, Onion, capsicum tossed with some cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, baby Brussel sprouts and chopped silver beet. Drizzle with EVOO and some bits of butter, season with some Sumac, salt and pepper. Put in a casserole dish and roast covered for an hour on around 180c, pull it out and give it a mix a couple of times during the hour.
Serve on the side with your protein of choice.

At work, woring back till 0200 today: the overtime this time round is gunna pay for accommodation in Sydney next week when Mrs WPT & I drive to Sidanee right after work next Thursday:
So last night made an Israeli salad: home grown diced tomatoes, diced homegrown cucumber, red capsicum diced, spring onion diced, snow peas finely chopped ( a handful) and one ripe avocado diced and mixed through with salt and pepper. Yum. Had a tin of tuna too with that.
Got a home made chicken soup on the go at home. Just need to strain it off, put the stock in the fridge. Chuck out the cooked onion, celery, carrot and parsnip.
Then separate the chicken meat from the bones and skin, chuck those. Defat the stock after its been in the fridge, add newly grated zucchini, carrot, diced sweet potato, celery, green beans and cauliflower florets in small pieces with cut / shredded chicken meat, salt pepper and dill and cook for 40 minutes. Yum indeed.

I like to put the Thai spices in the chicken soup. Ginger, Coriander, Lemongrass, Garlic and Chili.
Anyway, basics last night. Did some small meatballs braised in a french onion casserole base, with some steamed assorted veg and cauliflower rice.
Yum.

Making low carb meatballs. Got the mix ready: 1kg of beef mince, finely diced onion, 3 garlic cloves crushed, home grown mint, flat leaf parsley, salt, pepper, 2 eggs, mozzarella, Parmesan, some paprika and combine.
Then roll them into small balls and place on a tray. I will brown them in the slow cooker. Later I’ll make a tomato sauce with a bottle of pasatta and add a tin or two of tomatoes, some tomato paste, salt and pepper, blitz and cook. Then poach the browned meatballs in the tomato sauce.
Freeze half and eat the rest over a coupla days with either zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
I also made an Israeli salad:
Diced tomatoes, diced cucumbers, sliced spring onion, diced / sliced snow peas (my addition), diced red or green capsicum, diced avocado, salt, pepper and lemon juice, combine and eat. Good by itself or with a tin of tuna or with other salads is I used to add it to baked potatoes
Other variations use cottage cheese rather than avocado but lose the lemon juice. Great with felafel and in a pita bread

Doing a variation of Beef Strogonoff.
Got some gravy beef which is basically Osso Bucco minus bone. Browned it in butter and olive oil and into the crockpot with some packet seasoning, mushrooms and onions. I went against the standard by adding some greens. Chopped silverbeet, zucchini, beans and brussel sprouts.
Made some cauli/brocci rice to have with it.

Lambs Fry. (Liver)
Thinly slice (3-4mm), put in a container, cover with milk and set in the fridge for a while.
Heat pan to medium heat with butter and olive oil. Brown some sliced onions, lob into a casserole dish, cover to keep warm.
Do same with some bacon.
Dip the slices of Lambs fry in seasoned flour and cook til brown on each side, add to casserole dish with bacon and onion.
add some more butter and flour to the pan, stir, then add a glass of red wine while stirring. ( have one yourself if you like) to deglaze the pan and make a red wine sauce, tip the sauce into the casserole dish and stir through.
Serve with some mash potatoes (has to be spuds with this) and steamed veges.
