Lunch/Dinner

Today I feel too lazy to cook something complicated, so I’ll treat myself to scrambled eggs with feta cheese, baguette and a big 2-liter bottle of Coke (water is optional)

My famous homemade broccoli, bell pepper and red onion pizza.

I practically am now loaded with veggies. (I bought a large amount of vegetables. The rest will be used for stir fries with rice or yakisoba noodles.)

So full of veggies...I know I will be feeling better tomorrow.

Lunch/Dinner

Meatloaf again... All I want now is a big pepperoni pizza with extra cheese and mushrooms. Unfortunately, I can't order pizza because there's no home food delivery in the small town I'm living in, and I can only order pizza when we visit my grandparents in the neighboring city.

Mushroom soup

Something the Mexican place called a "fajaita tornado". As far as I can tell, there were two tortilla shells married with cheese and refried beans, with a lot of grilled steak / peppers / onion/s more cheese on top, with additional topping of guac and queso. Enjoyed it, but in future I'd just order the regular fajitas since I get rice with that. (No guac or sour cream, though.... )

Someone at home was very skeptical of my homemade tomato pasta sauce - and I can agree, it had a bit too much of that sharp tomato flavor the first time around (the one I despise, from fresh/crushed/uncooked tomatoes) - but reheated and mixed with ground beef, it tasted a whole lot better.

3 days with tomato sauce and pasta is enough, though, even if we did mix it up a bit (one day with sausage, two days with ground beef)...

Try adding a bit of milk, or some chicken stock. Tones down the acid!

Didn't have any, but I'll try next time

Wasn't in the mood for leftovers so a tosti for dinner it was.

Rummaged in the fridge for the last of the good bread, found the cheese I like and also opened the tiny jar of honey mustard dill dip someone came home with recently. Tosti was good but the dip just wasn't it.

Chinese food

I think it has been at least 2 years since we've had it. It has been a good week, I don't feel like cooking... so why not.

You read the comments, and you can create a culinary selection)

I learned to make marinara (plain tomato sauce) from an Italian lady years ago. The type of tomatoes used will affect the acidity. Simsample is right - adding something fatty will tone down the acidity. I usually rely on olive oil since the ingredients for marinara are olive oil, garlic, basil, salt, and tomatoes. I prefer the homemade sauce over any canned version. I think for meat sauce, you can start by sauteeing the meat along with the garlic, but don't quote me

Now if you really want to get fancy and give yourself a treat - serve it with homemade noodles. It's work, but is a nice treat from time to time.

Oven-baked salmon with spices and butter, plus oven-baked potato/carrot/broccoli/cauliflower mix with a bit of cream and plenty of spices. Yum!

Didn't like salmon before (it almost made me puke), but I guess it's an aquired taste. Made something similar a few months ago at work and had a taste. It was the first time I've had salmon in years - it still kind of tasted how I remembered it, but this time it was a whole lot better than it used to be, weirdly enough.

The rest of the cream will either go into another salmon dish next week, or waffles/pancakes if not (had some leftovers last week from the last time we made this dish, and made waffles - also yum!)

Fried rice with pok choi, carrots, and paprika minus the shrimp

30% pumpkin, 30% potato, and the rest included tomatoes, peppers, carrots, leek, onion, and mystery seasonings

I work in catering at a private hospital, so I’m always doing something a little different every day

(Fish again. For the umpteenth time. It's our "no idea what to have for dinner, can't bother to cook anything advanced" go-to)
