First of all, it felt good to be cooking again. This was inspired by something I had in Germany but it really basically turned into something similar to Chicken Cacciatore. It was broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash with tomatoes and spices. I also added some red wine and balsamic vinegar. There was also chicken breast pieces.
It was pretty good. Not amazing but definitely good. I liked that it was mostly vegetables and was very healthy.

This was a really good meal but pretty simply. It was just shrimp with Old Bay and skewered zucchini and mushrooms with garlic powder. The corn was wrapped in aluminum foil and grilled

Really nothing special here. We needed a quick and easy meal. Despite washing them really well, the beat greens were unfortunately really gritty. The onions were just sautéed with some balsamic vinaigrette. Nothing too special to the salmon burgers either.

Sorry, no photo. I made a really great egg creation of sorts. It was basically a frittata with less vegetables, some cheese and I scrambled the egg (beaters) rather than cook it all together. In addition to onions, mini bell peppers and normal spices, I also added some frozen corn and peas. That gave it a nice crunch. And, I added a well diced Habanero pepper. I had been using these a lot recently and they have been fine, but the fumes of this one filled the whole apartment, especially the kitchen, and had me and meredith coughing and sneezing our brains out (rather painfully). Thankfully, the pooch seemed to tolerate it well enough. With all that pain, it ended up not really being all that spicy. Go figure.
I also mixed (LF) cheese into it.

I like making "taquitos" where I make a filling, put it on a medium tortilla, a bit of cheese, roll it tight, and bake it. Well for brunch, we made them with a black bean filling. There was sautéed onions, mashed black beans, peppers and seasonings. It was pretty similar to the filling we use for been empanadas.

The peppers were stuffed with lean beef mixed with a tomato sauce. Not really anything special. They were fine but not particularly noteworthy. We got lucky because we were pushing the freshness of them.
The cauliflower was the same recipe as last time and again, it was GREAT! I want to experiment with other seasonings. And like I said last time, I want to try other vegetables roasted to this degree.

Meredith made avocado mousse from the recipe below. I do not know if there were any changes other than using Splenda for the sugar (or nectar). Also, we halved it. It was very, very good. The texture from the avocado along with the strong chocolate taste from the coco combined to make this really good. The problem is that avocados are not low in points at all. They have a lot of fat, albeit healthy fats, making this still quite a special treat and not a healthy alternative.

We put BBQ sauce on the salmon and just baked it. It was pretty simple but ended up being really, really good. The salmon was cooked perfectly and tasted great. For the potatoes and zucchini, we did a light coat of olive oil then seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, crushed red pepper and some italian herbs. I do not remember the exact ones. We roasted them in the oven. We bought the bread at Whole Foods. It was a whole wheat bread with a LOT of seeds. I think it was called Seeduction or something like that. It was very good!
