We made one of Meredith's favorite meals. It is the same thing we did before (2014-06-14). We first grilled the lobster. We butterflied it and grilled with the shell for about 7 minutes. We pulled the meat out of the shell and let it finish cooking (the shell adds flavor so we wanted it for a while).
We poached eggs (3 minutes on a simmer) and made the cilantro sauce from the cilantro-egg-drop soup but with a single (large) jalapeno instead of thai peppers. And heavy on the spices. We first coated the bread, then lobster with the egg and then topped it with the sauce.
We also served it with [lightly] roasted asparagus (5-7 minutes at ~400°F)

A quick and easy meal. We bought these 110cal Sandwich Rollups (we've done similar before but these were better). We topped them with low-fat cheese, turkey pepperoni (Wegmans Brand. Much better than hormel), peppadews, mozzarella balls, and a variety of other toppings. Really nothing too special but it was easy and good.

We made the avocado basil cream sauce with zucchini noodles as we have done previously (local recipe). We did our own toppings and skipped the corn. We followed the sauce recipe pretty closely except that we went light on the lime (I think the recipe calls for about the equivalent of one lime and we used 3/4).
We made pan-seared tofu for the top. We cut the tofu and soaked it quickly in hot water to help harden it. We then pan seared it with just pam and finally tossed it in some thin teriyaki sauce. A bit strange with the creamy noodles but really not bad.

I made African peanut soup and cauliflower fritters. Nothing too special with either. For the soup, I followed the recipe and use collard greens which I let cook a bit in the soup. For the fritters, the main flavorings came from the 4oz feta, cumin and rosemary.

I thought the waffles were ok. Not amazing but not really bad either. I was unhappy with the waffle maker which seemed to cook the edges a bit more as you can see from the photo. It wasn't a big deal but it is not desired.

We made Lebanese Style Moussaka. A friend made this for us before so we used the recipe she used (linked below). We followed it pretty closely. The biggest changes were:
As I said in the changes, I (as usually) adjusted the seasonings for taste. I also ended up simmering it for longer. Most of the time, I did it covered as per the recipe but spent some time uncovered to reduce the liquid.
We also served it with roasted cauliflower rice (now on its own page) with parmesan cheese and topped with low-fat feta.
Meredith also made a dip with preserved lemons and sugar in fat free greek yogurt. She kind of just threw it together. I do not think she followed a specific recipe. It tasted like some more complex lemon yogurt you could buy in the supermarket. We served all of this with leftover pita from the other day. Photos below:

I was scrambling to figure out lunch. We had some leftover Cruciferous Crunch Collection left over and some chicken sausage from the other day. I chopped the sausage then sautéd it and the veggies adding smoked paprika, salt, pepper and chipotle powder. I then topped it with a fried egg. It was pretty good and an easy meal.

We waffled falafel to make "Walafels" (for Falwaffles). I used falafel dough that I had apparently frozen from 2014-05-14. It was a bit freezer burned but it was otherwise fine.
One batch made two waffles. I waffled them for 7 minutes. I really liked the crispness. That is always my favorite part of the falafel anyway, so it worked really well in the iron.
We also served it with bread like we used for the Fall-Toush salad (2014-10-21). See below for the nutrition information but I am 99% sure, a serving is 2 oz, not 4. And Meredith made tzatziki (with real fat free greek yogurt). Very good as usual.
