Today was very productive. I didn’t need to go anywhere or do anything specific so I had a chance to reorganize some things like my craft room and my produce bins and eat at home all day which is always good.

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

🐠 TUNA POTATO & PEAS
▪️ Japanese Sweet Potato
▪️ Chunk Tuna
▪️ Greek Yogurt
▪️ Dried Parsley
▪️ English Peas
▪️ Lemon Herb Butter *

🧈 I love this butter and have it on anything. I have always counted the calories for it but hadn’t looked at points for it in years.

So it turns out:
Up to ¾tsp is 0 (too fiddly to mess with unless you really really just want a smidge)
Then up to 2½ tsp is 1
Then up to 1⅓ tbsp is 2

I had the ¾tsp serving today with my peas to see if I wanted to use that amount and no, I’d rather just use my points for it 😊 but now I know…

I tried my potato in the air fryer but got distracted and forgot to oil and salt it… 🤦🏻‍♀️

Here is how you actually do it :

Season as YOU like 😁…

Combine all ingredients in a bowl with a fork or small spatula. Lightly spray your baking sheet or lay down some parchment paper and turn your dough out onto the tray.

I made the Lasagna for them but silly girl that I am I dropped the box of noodles and they broke… It doesn’t really matter for the dish but as I was cleaning up, I realized I had some broken noodle pieces, some leftover sauce and cottage cheese and figured I would make a super stripped down version of Lasagna Soup for my lunch…

🥃 RAMEN BROTHS |🥚 RAMEN TEA EGGS | 🥣 2 EPIC FOOD FAILS

DAILY RECAP – 10/02
I started the day with the intention of doing lots of #experimentsineating – you know I love my Noodle Bowls but often the seasoning packs are either too spicy 🔥 or not a flavor I was looking for. So I decided to try making my own broths to use in Noodle bowls.

I also found a Tea Egg spice pack I had ordered at some point and decided to try making Ramen Tea Eggs…

💥 EPIC FAILS 💥
HERICIUM BEAUTY ISINGLASS SOUP
I bought this “soup” – which was a mix of dried ingredients, that for many of them, I had no clue what they were.

Yeah… Hard NO! Oh, so much no… Full details in the video but suffice to say it may have been the single most revolting experiment I’ve ever tried. 🤮

I messaged my cousin to see if she wanted me to keep it for her 😂

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

PURPLE RICE PUDDING BOWL
Blow by blow in the video but the short version is this. I was cooking, cooking, cooking – having a fun #experimentsineating day. Got one of the Ramen Broths started and decided to have breakfast.

Used a new food colorant (Ube / Purple Sweet Potato) – 3 drops in the rice pudding… Pretty pretty!

Ate 2 tbsps…

💣 Had an immediate and very big reaction – my eyes swelled, my tongue went numb, I lost feeling in my fingers, burning in my feet… It was very fast and lasted about 6 hours.

I laid down for several hours and then finished up the second broth but definitely did not feel like eating.

🍲 SKINNY PICKLE SOUP & SEEDY ARTISAN BREAD |🐠 TUNA, AIR FRYER OKRA & ASPARAGUS

DAILY MEAL HIGHLIGHTS
🌞 Good morning 🌞 gentle friends!
Let’s get this day started…

POLISH DILL PICKLE SOUP
This is one of the soups I meant to make earlier as my filler soup. Dividing it up into 6 servings (will measure once it is cooled and I add the yogurt) makes it 52 calories per serve.

▪️ Chicken Stock
▪️ Dill Pickle Juice
▪️ Dill Pickles
▪️ Zucchini
▪️ Kale
▪️ Rainbow Carrot
▪️ Turnip
▪️ Garlic / Ginger
▪️ Greek Yogurt

https://noblepig.com/2013/03/dill-pickle-soup
https://www.lavenderandmacarons.com/dill-pickle-soup-polish-zuppa-ogorkowa

I substituted turnip for the potato,  added zucchini and kale and am using Greek Yogurt in place of the sour cream…

▪️Put everything except corn starch and yogurt in Instant Pot. 
▪️High Pressure 3 min and Quick Release.
▪️Make cornstarch slurry and add to hot soup.   Mix well.
▪️Let cool and stir in yogurt to avoid it breaking or just add yogurt when serving (which is what I do)

NO KNEAD SEEDY ARTISAN BREAD
I am no baker but this bread is one of my favorites. If you like a seedy, chewy, sourdough / caraway style bread – this is fantastic.

Makes 1 loaf – this weighed 842g cooked and I get about 16 slices from it at 72 cal / slice so about like a Dave’s Killer Bread slice…

2 cups self rising flour – if using all purpose flour – add 2tsp (8g) baking powder per cup of flour

2tbsp caraway seeds
2tbsp cumin seeds
2tbsp minced onion
2tbsp Italian Seasoning
1tbsp granulated garlic (or garlic powder)
Season as you like – use different seeds or no seeds – add 1tbsp sugar or honey for a sweeter bread or experiment with adding applesauce or pumpkin to adjust the flavor. It will change the density so you will have to play with it if you want to try those.

1½ cups water
¾ cup Greek Yogurt

▪️Mix dry ingredients.
▪️Mix water and yogurt to basically a milk consistency.
▪️Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix into a shaggy dough.
▪️No kneading, no rolling it out – just combine.
▪️Pour into well greased loaf tin.
▪️Cover lightly and let proof in a warm place for 45-60min.
▪️Bake at 425° for 20min.
▪️Let cool and cut into slices or cut as you go.

This is fantastic toasted – it has all the nooks and crannies like an English Muffin!

Freezes well.

I used a prepackaged soup bowl I bought from YAMI to try but if you wanted to make your own – here is a great recipe to get you started.
