Just finished making gumbo. Chicken,smoked sausage, crawfish, shrimp,okra, onions and tomatoes. I know traditional gumbo doesn't have tomatoes but I am in Texas not Louisiana.

We have to go into the bigger town in a bit to drop off the extra truck at the train station for when son and gf get in at O dark thirty, so we'll pick up barbeque to bring home from the good place: Hog Wild. They are great.
Meatballs, Mac and cheese
Mini hoagie and hash brown/cheese jalapeno bars.
We have the same birthday!Nothing... I am having nothing for dinner. It's my birthday today and I got absolutely mobbed with requests to go eat. I cannot eat 5 lunches in a day... one lunch and then ice cream later was the very best I could do and I still feel like I ate too much.Please no more food.
Chicken breast pizza with peppers and onions on Lavash flatbread with low fat cheese. As of this morning I’ve lost 17 lbs. I would be happy if I can loose another 17 but with Christmas and a vacation coming up it could take a little longer than I was planning.
Tonight dinner was :
Boiled cut pieces of carrots and butter sprinkled with a bit of steak spices
Pieces of chicken with honey
Sliced potatoes fried in olive oil with a bit of sea salt
Then a very warm Chai black tea and honey

It will happen!!
Nacho dip in the mini crockpot, On the Border chips!! Yummy
I had a ribeye I bought several days ago which needed to be cooked. But the wife didn't want steaks. So I made her a chicken strip salad (air fryer for the chicken) and snarfed down the ribeye and corn myself.
I didn't want to be doing two separate major areas for cooking - one inside and one outside (on the grill) - so I cooked my steak inside in a cast iron skillet. It browned and seared up just fine. The taste was not quite as good as when cooked on a wood pellet grill, but not bad. But greasy?! Man, that was almost as bad as bacon splattering all over the cooktop. And I even used a lid on my skillet. A bit of smoke too. Really, more than "a bit". But that's what stovetop overhead fans are for. I purposely got the skillet up to 450° before throwing the steak in so I could get a good sear (also salted and dried the steak well before throwing it in so it would sear and not steam). I guess 450° must be above the smoke point for ribeye steak fat. Live and learn. I almost exclusively use avocado oil for cooking (not flavoring, since avocado oil has no taste) and that oil has such a high smoke point that heating things to 450° wouldn't raise an eyebrow.

Trying for a bikini body @hashbrown ? Caribbean in your plans?
I had a Mediterranean small pizza for dinner made by my daughter.
Tonight....since it didn't happen last night!!
Ham sandwiches on small dinner rolls and potato salad.
One of our favorite pizza places is open tonight, so I decided pizza on Christmas Eve is going to become a new 12/24 tradition. Woodfire pizza, beer, Santa cookies and eventually some warm alcohol infused drink called a Tom & Jerry.
I've leftover roast beef- think I'll make a variation of philly cheesesteaks
