Get a pizza stone.

Make the pizza much nicer.
I have one. It stays in the oven, unless I put it on the grill. The parchment paper was because it was late (due to work) and clean up involved wadding up a piece of paper, rather than the proper cleaning and treating of the pizza peel (I'm considering getting the metal kind with holes). For time reasons the pizza crust was also premade. I usually make my own. Next week will also be the same because we will have been out of town. After that pizza dough will be made on Sundays, and it will be divided into a small personal cheese for my daughter and whatever the my wife and I want.

But premade crust on a pizza stone makes almost no difference. But then, you can't really get the heat up enough in a kitchen oven to properly cook any pizza, which is why I use my grill, and turn up my nose to those silly take-home-and-bake pizzas, no matter how big they are. You need 600 degrees or more produced by fire. If I had the space and money for a brick oven I would exclusively use that.


But enough about pizzas. It's Taco Tuesday!

Don't tell my daughter, but there are three different veggies in the meat, and one of them is green. Between what I put on top and the meat I've got five different vegetables (ignoring the tomato fruit thing, of course) on that plate. Six if you count the corn in the chips, but that's my carb. Let me see, one source of protein, one carb, two dairy, and five sources of vegetables (which probably amount to just one or two servings). Well balanced and low sodium.


EDIT: And most importantly, my daughter ate everything on her plate, plus carrots.

Nachos are great for that. I would do a cheese sauce instead of melted shredded cheese and I would do a small dice on some yellow squash. She was none the wiser--thought it was just a snack to have during a movie.
 
Leftover taco meat means stuffed giant Marconi peppers with a chunky red sauce poured over top.

I was wandering around my local Randall’s (owned by Safeway) grocery store when I came across this:

mac & cheese.jpg


I have always been a fan of mac & cheese, from the blue box when I was a kid, to the Velveeta shells and cheese when I got older. Sometimes I will throw in extra cheese sauce and a can of tuna, or broccoli, or both.
Any time I am at a new restaurant that serves it, I will try it. I haven't had it with lobster yet though, but that is on my list.

OH MY GOD!!! This is the best mac & cheese I have ever tasted!

There is, however, a catch. It cost $9.99 for a 20 oz. (567 gram) frozen dinner.

It was good, not sure if it was ten dollars good.

BTW, these pics are not mine, I got them from the web, but while looking I found this:

Oprah agrees with me.

Ham and Havarti sandwich for brunch. Dinner was a little extra potato salad I just made for tomorrow on a slice of toasted bread. It's just too hot to eat!!! Bleah...
 
I made falafels for the first time last night. Had them in seeded wraps with cottage cheese, harissa, blended tomato salsa and seared vegetables. Oh, and plenty of cold Peroni. ;)
 
Leek soup, mushrooms, fried eggs, tomato, carrot, chiaseeds, sesame seeds and a sauce.

So are the items crossed off because you'd finished them? I'm also a little curious (and frightened) about "a sauce." :lol:

I crossed these "foods" because I forgot to eat these. :embarrassed:

a sauce = leftover spaghetti sauce. Not the homemade spaghetti sauce but sauce I bought.
 
Okay, now it sounds like catfood... :lol:
It was very good though! :D

Leek soup I forgot yesterday.

cauliflower with mayo, cocktail sauce, chia seeds and sesame seeds, mushrooms (leftover from yesterday).

Chicken sausage.
