What's for Dinner, Fri., Oct. 13, 2023
Turkey meatloaf sandwich on whole wheat skinny bread with mayo, raw onion, lettuce. Accompanied by sweet potato fries.
Later tonight, Brussels sprouts that are roasted in a cast iron skillet with pancetta and garlic. Syrupy balsamic poured over after taking out of oven.
Dessert: I came up with this easy low-sugar dessert. Two-thirds of a cup of no sugar ice cream (Turkey Hill makes it). Then take a vanilla ice cream sandwich and cut it into squares (or tear it) and put over the top. Let it melt somewhat.
So good! The ice cream sandwiches only have 140 calories and the ice cream is 110, so 250 calories total. I find that half of this is a good serving, and put the other half back in the freezer for another time. It's low enough in calories/sugar, though, that you could have the whole serving.
Also: a note to my comments last week about Shoprite's high prices on sweet potato fries. I see they have introduced a Bowl 'n Barrel version and it's quite reasonably priced. $3.29. Trader Joe's is $2.79 or $2.29 (can't quite remember) for a slightly smaller bag.

Ms K apparently wants chicken, lol. She asked me whether I'd thought about dinner yet about 15 minutes after I got up from bed this morning. I said "No, but we have some pork chops in the freezer." About an hour later I found two fat chicken breasts thawing on the kitchen counter. OK, chicken it is! 
I got my Covid shot today. When I got home, I had some jalapeno chicken, a burrito shell, and a spicy avocado. I like to roll the burrito shell up and eat it like bread, not filled. I cut avocado in 1/2, and season it with s&p, cayenne and a little Badia Complete seasoning. Nice filling meal
