What did you Keto today?
Iām in Italy and just had fresh Mozzā¦ Iām now very sad because the delicious decadence of this cheese will only be a memory when I go back homeā¦ My god itās beautiful.
Yesterday I smoked a slab of baby back ribs, and slathered them with homemade BBQ sauce! Yummo!
I am jealous ~ I love Italy!!! Enjoy. When you get home, learn how to make your own mozzarella! It looks pretty easy and it is on my list of things to make.
Or, get to know your local small batch artisanal cheesemaker. You can get the freshest cheese from them, too. Even curds that are only minutes or hours old.
So boringā¦
Sockeye Salmon with rosemary, garlic, butterā¦ Roasted radishes with a brown butter sauce.
Had a taste of my first batch of homemade Instant Pot yougurt:
Itās straining at the moment, to remove more of the carbs and whey (protein), but I had to try a few spoonsful to make sure it came out OK. Quite delish!
This post links to a good article on making lower-carb yogurt, and some users have shared tips on making yogurt in the IP.
My main tips after my first try are:
- Donāt wait. If you have milk, an Instant Pot, and some reasonably fresh plain yogurt, you can get started.
- Start smaller than I did. A quart of milk is probably more than enough to start with. I did a gallon, and Iām not sure whether my family of four will be able to eat it all quickly enough.
You can make chicken tandoori (where yogurt mixture is used to marinate chicken over night)ā¦in case you want to get rid of extra yogurt.
Today I started to IF. I plan to do 20/4s because of my work schedule. I wasnāt really thinking when I planned to start this on a day off! lol
I wasnāt hungry until I started meal prepping for the week (about an hour before my āwindowā). Now that Iām eating it, Iām not sure I can finish it. But Iām sure going to try!
Ooopsā¦ Itās pork steak (sous vide for 24 hrs), 2 scrambled eggs, and 3 pieces of bacon. But Iām sure I ate at least 3 slices of bacon while I waited.
