My actual pork roast 
Itâs leanish but has some cute fat layers on it and they became crispy this time!!! Very, very tasty. I eat the fatty part and do something with the lean one later⌠This cut isnât fatty enough for me for a proper roast but I can add sausage or lard or use it for meatballs, put next to the eggs in purgatory (I donât do proper carnivore until January, I just canât now and I actually want OMAD and I need carbs for it at this point. not like I have many OMAD days but I am trying)âŚ
Isnât it pretty? 
And itâs not just the looks, itâs nice food for me.

Instant Pot chicken tikka masala. Made everything from scratch, including the garam masala spice. Was amazing.

Wow⌠Once I saw a recipe for that⌠I would never do it, I am so fine with buying it (though I prefer tandoori masala). But I can be amazed if someone does it.
Maybe I should do something like this with my chicken one day, not just roasting it with some spice mix on top every time⌠I am extremely uncreative when it comes to my meat cooking but it worked this far And I mostly only use salt, chicken gets a special treatment because it needs it, even very great home-raised super tasty chicken is even lovelier with spice.
If I inevitably get bored of my carni food, I am open to add a tiiiny innocent bit of extra something to my meat even in my determined carni times (that isnât now, December is special, I flied out of low-carb too, not surprisingly. I wanna come back). And spices are fair game anyway. I never was shy to cut out ingredients, it often works for me. I cooked red cabbage lately, the normal recipe calls for onion and many people uses apple⌠And I donât think either is needed⌠But I still had 2 quince and thatâs nice and a recipe said itâs better than apple⌠So I tried it. Lovely but I am not sure itâs needed.
But it turned out boiled/fried (itâs in the pan with a little water and fat, I suppose it does both but mostly the former?) red cabbage is AMAZING and extremely addictive (while it lasts). So I didnât lose interest about all leafy vegs Well, itâs red (actually purple, we call it purple in Hungarian too) and it makes all the difference! It has no green flavor.
I donât need such a thing but itâs enjoyable once in a blue moon.

Oh, pretty! Are the spinkly things super hard there too? Ours are inedibly hard and I donât understand why people use them. The lil ones should work. Do you have keto sprinkle things too there? Ours are full sugar but rock hard. (My disappointment about silver balls did a huge impact on me and my lovely sugar snowflakes are super hard too.)

@Shinita Yes, she used a keto one left over from a previous order. She might have actually imported these. But even these were hard too so she said I should just remove it & consider as decoration.

Grilled pork chop, fried Houlimi cheese, poblano pepper stuffed with creamy chevre and grated Colby cheese. Topped with bacon.
I made all 3 cheeses. The chevre isnât traditional since I made with cowâs milk but I used a chevre culture so it almost tastes authentic.

I bought this cookbook after trying his Butter Chicken recipe for free online. Everything Iâve made I have enjoyed. Itâs a 4-hr round trip to the nearest Indian food so learning to make my own.
I bought a spice grinder with a Christmas gift card and made my own garam masala and it is worth it!
And of course the Instant Pot makes it so easy

Made this soft cheese with chives. I used a chèvre culture but only have access to cowâs milk so not technically chèvre but close and is delicious!
This is to share with my neighbor - put twice as much up in the fridge for us.

Never even heard about such a thing, our normal tomato soup only have tomato, roux and paprika, of course. And something carby it, that varies. Celery leaves suit it too.
But MY tomato soup is egg milk with tomato, still red but not to the same extent and it is just the liquid unlike the traditional one. Thatâs nice so yep, there are options. Does yours contain some spice (Indian so probablyâŚ)? My egg milk one doesnât, itâs just egg, tomato puree, water and salt. Quite nice. Tomatoes are delicious except the fresh thing at the greengrocery, thatâs usually tasteless⌠Thatâs why I have my own tomato plants every year, not like I am successful enough but always have some and they are tasty. Too much work (compared to the number of tomatoes we get) and it definitely would be cheaper to buy if but itâs not really possible unless the egg lady have tomatoes and they donât get rain.
But I can buy tasty tomato puree so tomato soups are easy
