Slowly moving toward a healthy weight with mostly real food 😊

Last night's leftovers on a salad for lunch 😋

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

Salmon, sautéed eggplant & mushrooms, roasted corn.

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

From my garden & plants in pots! We've had several zucchini that we already used & a couple more eggplants after the picture was taken.

Shrimp & black bean tacos. You can barely see the bottom of my skinny margarita in the picture 😁

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

Some health-ish baking. Low sugar whole grain double chocolate zucchini muffins 😋

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

A fun little mocktail for the evening. Plain sparkling water, fresh mint, fresh lemon, sugar free blackberry syrup.

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

Grilled BBQ pork chops, sautéed zucchini with garlic scapes.

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

Oven baked cube steak. Missing it's gravy because I didn't add water halfway through the cook time, mashed potatoes (from a WW recipe, so lighter but delicious!), leftover zucchini, sautéed morel mushrooms.

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

Refrigerator pickles made with my fresh dill & local cucumbers.

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

Smoked salmon Benedict & hashbrowns for breakfast out this morning.

Driving practice for the teenager = noodle bowls for lunch.

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

First meal I've cooked this week ☺️
Tilapia, mac & cheese, garlicky green beans

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

@mrsak98 The St. Charles Market at Lakeside Park. They have a weeknight market sometimes, I forget often. The mushrooms were my best find. But we won't talk about how much the morels were 😁

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

Weeknight farmers market mushroom haul!! I also got tomatoes & green beans.

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

@mrsak98 It was! That burger seasoning I got is really good too!

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

Mediterranean seasoned turkey burger, sweet potato fries, zucchini & onion. Burger seasoning & zucchini from the farmers market. Fries from the freezer 😊

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

Lunch ready for tomorrow. Salad with a leftover turkey burger chopped up on top, watermelon, lemon herb vinaigrette for the salad. I love having fresh herbs right outside my back door again!

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

Air fryer crispy chicken tacos & a simple iceberg lettuce salad. I ended up eating just 2 ofvthe tacos. They were more filling g that I thought they'd be. Decaf iced tea with fresh mint to drink.

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

My cooking has been sporadic & lazy recently. But I took some time to bake today. I should have been cleaning but baking is more fun! Struesel topped banana muffins, with & without chocolate chips.

[Yvette Bowers @BowersYvette]

Salmon & green beans
