Resound11 Prompt 11: Best Meal

What is the best meal or best food that you have eaten all year? Did you make it? Did you get it at a restaurant? Do your best to describe the food and the experience with us.

How will you resound?

This one is really hard. I had so many good meals while traveling this year. From jerk chicken in the caribbean, to lamb burgers with tzatziki sauce here in Floyd or fire cheese in DC with the ladies. I ate really well this year.

My favorite home cooked meal is this:

 

Cashew chicken! This year I mastered Chinese food. The closest Chinese takeout place in 35 minutes away and one of Josh’s favorite meals happens to be Kung Pao, so I set out to make my own at home. I make some sort of Chinese dish every week and I’m always surprised at how close I get to the real thing. Not only is it very close, it’s a lot better. So much so, that I don’t even like going out for Chinese food anymore because I’m always disappointed. Not to mention, it’s so much better for us. I use less oil and lots of fresh vegetables.

Chinese Cashew Chicken

Yesterday’s eats…

Greek yogurt, Crofters blueberry spread and cashews.

Lunch and dinner. My own recipe of cashew chicken, which I’ve gotten pretty darn good at making. Check out that rooster sauce making it look fancy.

I killed my sugar craving with grapes. I forget how sweet red grapes are.

Not photographed (because it looked gross) was a mixture of yogurt, peanut butter and jam. It was so good! I’m obsessed with Maranatha crunchy peanut butter, best peanut butter ever.

I finished the evening with a session of Zumba which was much needed. I was feeling too in my head after yesterday’s post and just needed to act rather than think. I ate about 1,937 calories and burned anywhere from 500-700 calories. My net calorie goal is around 1,400-1,600. I’m pretty pleased with my day.
