What's for dinner tonight?

[Brent S]

I just discovered Nutella! I’ve known about it but thought it was just a peanut butter and jelly mix. It’s more like a chocolate cake icing, I spread it on a banana this morning and it’s really good! I did notice the 100 cal per spoon though...

AKA "Fairy Poop"

Two groups of people, those that love it and those that find it disgusting. I am in the latter group.

Krista Maguire, a nutritionist, gives Nutella a thumbs down...better off buying peanut butter.

Excerpt: "A serving of Nutella (two tablespoons) contains 200 calories, 12 grams fat, 4 grams saturated fat, 15 milligrams sodium, 23 grams carbohydrates, 21 grams sugars, and 2 grams of protein. A serving of peanut butter (two tablespoons) contains 188 calories, 16 grams fat, 3 grams saturated fat, 8 grams carbs, 2 grams sugars, 7 grams protein, and varying amounts of sodium. No salt-added varieties have about five milligrams of sodium, while salted PB has about 152 milligrams.
When you consider Nutella versus any nut butter, plain nut butter generally has more healthy fats and protein and less carbs and sugars. And pretty much any nut butter tastes great on the same things you’d put Nutella on. “I don’t find any redeeming qualities about Nutella,” says Krista Maguire, R.D., C.S.S.D. and nutrition manager at Openfit. “Even if it has a little bit of calcium and iron and it’s low in sodium, there are so many more healthful alternatives that you can consume to obtain those nutrients.”

I have never considered nutella a healthy food, or even in the same category as peanut butter. I've always thought of it more like chocolate with nuts in it. . . good tasting, maybe some protein, but too much sugar to consume regularly or in large quantities.

Yeah, this stuff is a desert, not something you would consider healthy in any way. Surprisingly good though

Last night the wife and I were invited to go on a dinner cruise with a group of about 35 "special" investors. We had grilled tri-tip steak, halibut and salmon shipped in from BC, and an open bar. It was a great meal. We got off the boat at 8 pm and drove all night to get home at 6 am this morning. I'm a little beat right now.

Just about to pull the first apple pie of the season out of the oven. There’s enough apples this year to make about 500 of them.

Stir fry with shrimp and red and orange bell peppers. I had 3 helpings.

It's been too long since I made an apple pie. I usually only make them for Thanksgiving dinner, but you might have inspired me.

I made a pastalaya with beef roast, pork roast, chicken thighs and a smoke sausage. About 10lbs of meat, 5lbs. of spaghetti. We had a baby shower here. We also had many other foods, like a shrimp mold, sandwiches, fruit tray, cake, etc...

 

[VenomJockey]

Yeah, buddy!! Great stuff!!

Went to a Chinese buffet in Atlanta today. I ate enough for lunch that I doubt I will have dinner tonight.

 

[Proud Prepper]

I boiled 10 pounds of fresh brown shrimp (21-25) and made a remoulade dressing, hard boiled some eggs, chopped up iceberg lettuce, cut grape tomatoes, sliced red onion. We ate shrimp remoulade salad.

That sounds delicious!!

I ate what would likely be a post SHTF meal. Canned sardines with thin cut onion, bottled lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, on some MRE crackers close to expiring. I actually enjoyed it.. for dessert I had an MRE lemon pound cake.

I made tahbouli the other day so I ate some of that left over with chicken and rice. I also sharpened my kitchen knives the other day and they work so much better. I am much more excited about cooking now.

 

[Brent S]

I fried some pork chops, cooked some fresh green beans in beef broth, and made some homemade Mac and cheese. I’m going to sleep content now.

I took my mom and sister out to dinner tonight. We had ribeye steak, salad, grilled shrimp, mac and cheese and bacon wrapped jalapenos.

 

[KateMTx]

I had to stay late to train new employees at work, so my boss ordered pizza for us.

 

[Proud Prepper]

I cooked filet mignon and broccoli and cauliflower, roasted garlic and toasted French bread.
