Hi,
I’m in the Tampa Bay Area. I never tire of cooking. Most of my meals during the week are simple and fast. Even my roasted veggies take no time at all. It’s usually on a weekend or a Sunday that I will make something like a Bison Meatloaf, soups, meatballs and sauce, ground chicken chili , my steel cut oatmeal for 4 days and my 3 banana, 3 egg , almond flour muffins with craisins and walnuts....no added sugar..just the vanilla extract and cinnamon. Those I keep in the fridge or freeze some.

It’s getting too hot to sit on the patio here in the bright Florida sun so I’m moving inside and turning the AC back on. I can feel the humidity creeping up...ugh. Some family coming over soon.

Wished you lived closer. We could share recipes. I know that I'd learn much from you. I live in Cape Coral.

@asdf
Been Down south to Cape Coral and Fort Myers...enjoyed the restaurants. You are about 3 hours of south of me. I like where I am because we are a about a mile from the Pinellas Pasco line and we do most of our activities in St Petersburg , Tampa and Clearwater. Have always lived near water in Throggs Neck NY and Long Island.
I decided to put mashed seasoned avocado on top of my Kobe Burger. The Kobe was exceptionally tasty and I would buy again when on sale.

That sounds good Linda but I try not to use the stove in keys just by chance I have a seizure but when I do I always use the back burner.
Sounds a bit involved though. I just bought some Shirataki noodles, They are made out of tofu, only 20 calories for the package.
@imallears
I would probably join you for lunch, at least I make a good faith effort at getting it down. Isn’t lox smoked salmon? Scrambled eggs for dinner are you kidding? I think I’m getting nauseated just from the thought, not to mention the smell. Sounds like you need me to send you a care package.
This just isn’t my day it started out by you calling me obnoxious, How you could ever think of me as obnoxious is beyond me. then when at the Red Cross while I was donating platelets and plasma one of the girls came up to me and said ”you must be in a good mood today I haven’t heard you yell at anybody .today.” I know you’re shocked and amazed, I was too.

Oh Leonard...I called your websites obnoxious...not you. Although you do seem to have a rep. Maybe the word is “cantankerous “?
And we know you have a wicked sense of humor.

So have the eggs with Bubble and Squeak for breakfast instead of dinner. Doesn’t matter what you eat at any of the 3 main meals as long as it’s nutritious....and not a bowlful of candy.

Since I am staying home more now because of the virus I promise to search for some quick and easy recipes for you. Where do you buy most of your food from and how’s the selection? Are you more comfortable using the oven? Do you have a toaster oven or a small electric grill? I need to know this before I search. Also let me know what you cannot eat. I I think I have a pretty good idea of what you hate. You bought tofu noodles?

And yes, lox is smoked salmon...wild Alaskan salmon.

@imallears I love lox but haven't had it in a long time -- lots of sodium.

@contentandwell
Hi,
Absolutely loaded with sodium. It’s an occasional guilty pleasure with cream cheese which I wouldn’t buy otherwise. So I get Canyon House gluten free bagels and have enough for 4 lunches spread out . The day that I decide to have it, I am mindful of what is in my other meals and try to drink more water. Good think about smoked salmon is how long it lasts and the bagels stay in the freezer. Probably will be at least 6 months to a year before I get it again but...good grief...I’m in heaven when I have that.

@imallears
I don’t understand how you can call my websites obnoxious I really don’t. all I tried to do was send you a nice gift and delicacies at that. Some people are impossible to please.
Tofu noodles yep I sure did and I didn't mind them at all. No sugar, 6g carbs for the package which is 8 ounces & 20 calories. I don’t think we have any of the same supermarkets here that you do although we have a trader joe's. I eat most normal foods but you & I interpret normal differently. I prefer to use the microwave however I know that’s not the most ideal way to cook but for me it’s the safest just in case you know. But if you come across something outstanding I can always call my cook to come over. I also have an air fryer that has a number of different functions including a toaster oven.
We do have some stores here that are large and have quite a variety of stuff.

@jakedduck1
I’ll check out the air fryer instructions for the toaster oven option. What’s the chance of you ordering a toaster oven online. There’s really no good meals cooked from scratch in a microwave . I have microwaved peppers and onions on occasion to use in a dish. You don’t get the same flavor but it’s good in a pinch. You would really enjoy using a traditional toaster oven and you could use the broiler in it. You could get a toaster/convection oven. It’s a good investment for someone in your position and they have automatic turnoffs so there’s no chance of burning. You could basically avoid the stove for so much of your cooking. Do you have a small electric grill by any chance?
