Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

I had a craving for the Amy's soup yesterday. I haven't had that in ages!
I have a couple in the cupboard. Funny thing, with only having an 8 hour window for eating, I don't have time to try out all of my "stuff". LOL

You do Intermittent fasting? What is the reason for that?

To get my blood sugar down, to stop my evening grazing, to lose a bit of weight. I've done it for years but not the 16/8 version, my window of eating was a bit larger. But decided to get a little stricter with myself.

I would find that really difficult!:eek:

I should go and get a routine blood test soon, actually.

I did the intermittent fasting the whole time I was Keto, about 3 years. Not too difficult as I was allowed to have coffee with butter in it so I drank a couple of cups in the morning when I got up. So eating at 10A wasn't a problem. And I ate in the evening till about 9PM. Now I can only have tea in the morning, not quite as filling. And I make sure I'm done by 6PM. So not as easy to do but it's for health reasons. I am hungry when I go to bed though, but not hungry when I get up, around 5-6AM. It hits me about an hour later and then I have a few hours to wait.

I would find that time period very challenging as often my honey is not finished working until well after 6pm - we do the 12-8 or 1-9 window as we find it much easier to have coffee in the morning and not eat until noon-1pm - I know it would be more ideal to not eat so close to bedtime but we usually stay up until midnight at the earliest.

Our dinner last night was bean veggie soup from the freezer to which I added frozen kale, some more already cooked potatoes and a tiny can of coconut milk and then cut up half a crusty large italian loaf and put on garlic powder then used the oil sprayer to just put a fine mist on top of the powder and a few shreds of parm cheez on each slice just for taste and broiled them for a few minutes.

Some popcorn for dessert.

baby bok chop, onions, Thai chilis, straw mushrooms (canned) and rice noodles in a sauce of garlic, peanut butter, light soy sauce, tamarind and rice vinegar.
I was trying for the amazing sauce my son made, and really missed the mark :dismay:
It's really good though. Two frozen dates for dessert did't help me forget wanting chocolate. :worried: Shoulda gone with the chocolate...:rolleyes:
