lpl... the paper plate holds my truck keys, wallet, pocket change etc when I empty my pockets when I come in the house.

Old bay for me... my kitchen still smells like it. I'm going to steam another batch for supper today... more old bay.

I love meatballs. We have a recipe where we put Italian meatballs into a crock pot with 1 jar of red pepper marinara (spaghetti sauce) and 1 jar of hot and spicy salsa. Sounds weird, tastes amazing.
 
The local Pizza Hut in the little town had an “all you can eat” lunch special on week days. This lasted about 2 years. I wasn’t greedy… About once a month I stop and have 2, sometimes 3 slices, a nice salad and a glass of ice tea for less the $9. They stopped for some reason… miss those days.

There is another pizza place in the little town. The guy is from Chicago, real Chicago deep dish, the real McCoy! Its great pizza and a bigger salad bar. He always has thin crust or deep dish for their "Slice and a Salad" special for lunch. My only complaint... his thin crust isn't as thin as NY thin crust. I prefer NY thin crust. :)

Hope he likes it I've never made it for him before today........can I say I love bisquick? ;)

Thanks fro idea, haven't had meatballs in years. Always wondering what to eat. Dinner for 2 is harder to do than dinner for 10.

Fat and protein are great for increased mass, but I prefer to alternate proteins. Beef, pork, eggs, etc. You might want to consider fasting for muscle gains too. I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but after 12-24 hours of fasting your natural levels of testosterone and HGH are off the charts. I will often eat a protein heavy early dinner, then eat nothing at all for 18 hours, then lift weights and afterwards have a high protein meal.

Thats normally something like what I do, my off day ill have a really light breakfast and later really pack in the healthier carbs like sweet potato and brown rice for two hours and one good scoop of ice cream just because.
Then nothing until the next day late morning breakfast at work.
After one month of this I've got my squat back over 400lbs again.
But im constantly bloated during the week...

I eat lots of nuts especially peanuts, walnuts and olives and can't seem to gain weight. But still fairly strong for an old woman. I eat very little meat but do eat some fish. We eat all kinds of fruits vegetables too.
Dr.s say my blood work is better than theirs. Alway always had high lipids aka colesterol, but never had heart trouble Dr.s say high lipids are actually good for you.

If you eat anything, except very limited amounts of pure fat, you are not fasting. If you eat (or don't eat) to control hormone production you can then use your hormones for whatever health benefit you want, such as adding muscle mass or cutting body fat. All carbs convert to glucose (sugar) in the body, so there really are no healthier carbs. That's just a myth the diet industry uses. Some have more fiber or vitamins than others but they are rarely worth the negative effects. In fact it only takes 2-3 total carbs to stop autophagy and limit your bodies production of testosterone and HGH. So a light breakfast or quick snack or sugary protein bar can actually be working against your gains.

On a side note: Ketogenics is naturally noninflammatory and greatly reduces or eliminate any feelings of bloat. Having been keto for years now, I only have to eat one little carb laden thing and I feel like complete crap. And then I instantly recommit to eating keto.
