Roasted Corned Beef, Bechemal Sauce, fried Cabbage and green beans.
And for dessert, Vanilla Chia Pudding.

Ok, so this morning I decided I wanted to try some things that I’ve been thinking about doing. These are mostly some simple things we can just throw together for quick meals, not big prep…
Salami Stackers:
Placed sliced Salami on a sheet of Parchment paper. Stacked on some Provolone Cheese, followed slices of Pepperoni and topped with a thick chunk Cheddar.
Then baked it in the oven at 400° for 12 to 14 minutes, or until it browns up. … Wife said it reminds her of Pizza, and you could add a little sauce to enhance this, but they are greasy, so don’t actually need it.
But for a quick meal, they are easy and quite filling.

Another thing I’ve been wanting to try…
Salami Egg & Cheese Cups
Had my wife stuff a slice of Salami into each cup (Similar to how I’ve seen Bacon…
Then filled them with Scrambled Egg mix…
Added in Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese and topped with a slice of Pepperoni…
Then baked then at 400° for 14-15 minutes, until you get a nice browning on top…
I like the Salami, since it’s solid, but I’m sure the Bacon does well too

Another quick and simple one…
Ham Roll-Ups
Simply took Cooked Ham and rolled it around a stick of Polly-O Sting Cheese and then added a little Provolone laid on top.
They came out pretty good. I’m just looking for some quick, easy to make stuff, since most meals we do nowadays takes so much prep, we need easier stuff for some nights… Fried Cheese always works

Ok, so one of the reasons I wanted to do all this today, was to actually try another idea I had. This would be for an alternate type of Taco Shells. Presently, we have been using the Cheese Taco Shell.
Hard Salami Taco Shells
This was to simply take sliced Salami, and fold them in the bottom of a muffin pan. So we used the square mold for this, since it gives straight lines with nice walls, instead of just partly on a round muffin.
Note: I only tried three, since I just wanted to see how it might work. … Plus, there’s three Pups 
Well, when I Baked them at 400 Degrees° for 15 10 minutes, they came out holding their shape well, and we’re slightly crunchy, but not burnt. So I think they will indeed work, once filled with Taco Meat, Cheese and some Lettuce and Tomato on top, along with some Italian Dressing. (I plan to do this, Tonight or Tomorrow, depending on if any of us are hungry, since today’s testing filled us all up nicely.)
These will be Mini-Tacos, being the Salami is only so big. But I’m already looking at other meats.
When we do use them, I will add some updated images. 
Cheers…
EDIT: So I’m editing this to add some info from trying this out tonight. … Overall they worked just fine, but they are indeed small. Single bite little dudes, so be prepared to make a few! (I will still be looking for a larger roll of Hard Salami to work with, but they do indeed work well for a shell. NOTE: I also had to change the time I noted down earlier in this post the other day. Apparently I got the time wrong, since I didn’t write it down. It was actually 10 minutes, not 15. Though they were still good, quite crunchy. But not just as pliable, and would crack if bent too much after cooling. (Get them where you want them while still hot and you’re good to go. And they stay pliable if not over-cooked.)
Here was the setup…
As you can see, they are indeed little fella’s. But they are good.
The Meat I just made normally, simply cooking the meat up, straining and adding just a little Rao’s Sauce, just enough to moisten the meat, as Taco meat is. Then I add some Taco Seasoning, just to get the taste of Taco Meat. So you can simply make the meat to your desire, regular, hot, etc. - The Salad I just use Lettuce and Tomato, with Italian Dressing, like I do with regular Taco’s.
So I will be making these again, but hoping to find a place where I can get larger diameter slices of Hard Salami, so I can get these just a little bit bigger. But will have no issues cranking out 15 of these for my meal, or as many as needed for the whole family. As long as they’re not over cooked I can probably stack these in a row, like they come prepackaged in the stores.
What did you Keto today? Part Deux!

When I worked at a pizza place years ago I’d do something similar with Canadian Bacon rounds and pepperoni’s…a bit of cheese and pizza topping in the center, bake and enjoy!
Great idea, Dave!

Yep, it worked well. I even took some Pepperoni tonight and showed the wife I could make them even smaller, but I would need Elves to put them together. … But if I can double their size now, I would be happy with them. If not, I will just keep making these single bite ones.

I can’t get my pictures to load?
Yipppee it showed! It’s a breakfast soufflé: 6 eggs, 1 cup of cheese, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 lb sausage (0.9 carbs) and then I added a few peppers and some spinach which I’m sure took the carbs up a tiny bit.

Glad you got it sorted. … When inserting images, just make sure you wait for the upload to get to 100% before hitting reply. Also, you can preview it by clicking show preview before posting. Occasionally it gets a bit slow on the upload, but you should see errors, if the image is too large, etc.

No, not yet. I actually have a few ideas I want to try though. Might even try one of them this weekend.

I’ve made something called Flying Jacob Casserole - it’s got a high carb count (11) so it has to be like your main source for the day.
• 1 rotisserie chicken
• 2 tbsp butter
• 8 oz. diced bacon
• 9 oz. mushrooms
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• ½ cup mild chili sauce
• 1 tsp curry powder
• salt and pepper
• 1 banana
• ½ cup salted peanuts (I didn’t use peanuts)
• Cut the mushrooms into smaller pieces, and fry in butter with the bacon. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Debone the chicken, and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
• Place the pieces in a greased baking dish with bacon and mushrooms. Peel and slice the banana, and add to the bacon mixture.
• Whisk the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add chili sauce, curry, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread over the chicken.
• Bake in the oven for 20–25 minutes until the dish has turned a nice color.
I also made Golden low-carb granola
8 oz. pecans or hazelnuts or almonds
¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup sunflower seeds
4 tbsp pumpkin seeds
4 tbsp sesame seeds
¾ cup flaxseed
1 tbsp turmeric
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup almond flour
1 cup water
4 tbsp coconut oil
-
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Chop the nuts coarsely in a food processor or with a sharp knife. Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
-
Spread out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Be sure to set a timer. Nuts and seeds are heat sensitive and should not get burned.
-
Remove from the oven and stir the mixture, then return to the oven for about 20 minutes more. Check again. When the granola feels almost dry, turn off the heat and let the granola cool in the residual heat of the cooling oven.
-
Serve the granola with full-fat Greek yogurt with a tiny bit of vanilla powder and maybe some additional heavy cream. The granola is very nutritious and filling. A third to half a cup will go a long way.

Thanks, Traci. These look & sound very good. 
Might have to give these a go.
My Wife made a Chicken/Ham/Broccoli Casserole the night before last that came out quite nice. Using HWC, Cream Cheese and Mozzarella to make a sauce, and Parmesan on top for browning. … Chicken (cut into bite size pieces) and then added the sliced Ham and Broccoli. Then she made the sauce and incorporated it all together and baked it until browned. She didn’t write anything down, so can’t provide the actually ingredients for it though. She just sort of winged it as she went.
Do you mean the crust? Or the Pizza itself overall? … As for me, though the crust does work as is, I do find it a little solid so to speak. I was thinking of trying out some other stuff to see if I can get more airy, or dough like. Not that I like thick dough for Pizza, since I’m not a big fan of bread in general, but it does take a lot of cheese and I think I may even be able to knock down the carb count on it some as well?

the crust is not as dense and has IMO a better consistency. It’s cauliflower - steamed for 6 minutes and then squeezed dry. Then you add one egg and parm cheese and roll it out and back for 8-10 min until slightly browned then add your ingredients and cook more until your cheese is melted.

I’ve heard others mention making theirs with Cauliflower too, but no, I haven’t tried it yet myself. But I do like Cauliflower, so I may indeed enjoy it. (If I’m not mistaken, I thought I recently read somewhere that they were now selling Cauliflower based Pizza Crust?) At least I think I recall reading that somewhere?
Thanks, Gary. Always enjoy trying to come up with new recipes. Think it helps keep things exciting and not getting too mundane or basic. Even before switching over to this WOE/WOL, we would do this with Cakes and baking goods, as well as with making regular Meals. - But I also think staying or using Keto-Friendly ingredients is even more fun, since I enjoy these so much more.
