Instant Pot Beef Stew (Recipe Link)
Instant Pot beef stew with onions, celery and carrots. I’m on maintenance and experimenting occasionally with a few extra carbs, hence the carrots. This is a lovely stew!

Air-fried cheeseburgers (4 oz each) and Romaine lettuce salad with red onion, red pepper, baby tomatoes, a few raspberries, Balsamic mayo (1/2 T mayo, 1/2 T Balsamic salad dressing). I actually ate four burgers (see photo below). This was a delicious meal!

Read MoreBrisling Sardines (Sprats) and Potato Hash
Brisling sardine hash with green onions, a small potato (I’m on maintenance and can afford a few extra carbs), ginger/garlic/chili paste, salt; Romaine lettuce salad with red onion, red peppers and salsa mayo.
