Besides turkey: bacon wrapped asparagus, bacon brussel sprout casserole with amazing Grillmates Maple Bacon seasoning (which, admittedly, has a touch of brown sugar) and topped with avocado, and this frosting recipe relabeled as a cheesecake bite, rolled into balls, and covered in Lilly’s chocolate (so basically a fat bomb). Best part is I’m stuffed without feeling carb heavy or sleepy and do not for one second feel “deprived”. Plus everybody loved my stuff too! (Who doesn’t love bacon?) I feel kind of bad though cause what’s good for me is not necessarily good for everyone else when they’re combining it with all those carbs. ¯\(ツ)/¯
What did you Keto today? Part Deux!
Does anyone see the irony in eating leftover Easter ham for Thanksgiving? We’re celebrating Saturday so this is just another Thursday for us.
I have no picture but I had an amazing eggnog made with allulose. So good!! I will have to limit making them to only special days. Actually my husband made them for me and my niece and I way over drank them!
Lunch #1 Perfectly poached twice-cooked eggs with market-sourced bacon, finished with Himalayan pink salt and freshly-ground black pepper.
The gory details of the creation are over at our new sous vide thread below.
Created so we don’t hijack this food thread as we did the other day
My keto contributions to the family Thanksgiving dinner: deviled eggs and blackberry cheesecake. The cheesecake recipe was from the keto connect folks.
OK I was in the kitchen the whole time so I don’t have a picture of any of the delicious turkey, but I did enjoy it. Here’s a picture of one of three tables before we sat down. Happy Thanksgiving!
Lunch #2 Even more perfectly-poached twice-cooked eggs with spam spam spam wonderful spam!, finished with Himalayan pink salt and freshly-ground black pepper
Alfredo zoodle chicken stirfry - roast chicken breast is diced and added to a bed of zoodles coated in fine house-prepared Alfredo sauce, while sliced Swiss Brown mushrooms bring a beautiful umami frisson to your senses.
Oops - ate the bacon and started in on my omelette before I snapped a pic.
Omelette is spinach, onion and cheese topped with a dollop of my homemade clotted cream.
A 300g sirloin steak, with charred gem lettuce and a side of cauliflower gratin. Side of bone marrow gravy.
I’m starting to get too fussy about steaks at restaurants. This was a little overdone and had gristly bits. I ate it all, though!
Lesson learned: if the restaurant doesn’t specialize in steak, don’t order it!
Thanks! They are cheap grocery store plates (Kroger) so I don’t worry about breaking them… Wasn’t sure I would like them so only bought 2 to try them out. Then kept going back for more!
Dr. Berry says gristle = collagen. So I figure cut it small enough to swallow without gagging and take your medicine! I have no sunny outlook for the overdone problem.
Karen, you’re the Martha Stewart of our forum!
This cannot be stressed enough! If you don’t have a pepper grinder at home, get one! Warning, you need a lot LESS pepper on your food when it’s freshly ground.
So all you foodies probably already knew this, but this was a relatively recent lesson for me.
What, no turmeric mustard?
Yeah, that happens.
That’s true! I can do better in my sous vide at home.
Not to mention the price they’re gonna charge you for for a mediocre steak.
