What did you Keto today? Part Deux!


(Jody) #3803

OMAD:
Egg salad (w/ homemade Mayo), 2x chicken thighs w/ skin, last small piece of brisket, pork belly, olives, spicy pickled quail egg, pickles.

I use thighs as a base for pizza… fatten them out cook then add cheese and salami with maybe a touch of tomato paste…


(Ellen) #3805

Interesting, might have to try that Mark.


(Jane) #3806

I picked up some whole milk Bulgarian yogurt at a local market and will use it as a starter for my own yogurt. It was in a quart jar so not sure I can eat it all before it goes bad, so thinking of spooning into a silicon muffin mold pan and freezing it for future starters.

I’ve never tried culturing from frozen so will be interested to hear how it turns out.


(Sophie) #3808

It works. I use frozen cultured buttermilk cubes to make sour cream.


(Allie) #3809

Very useful to know as sometimes I struggle to eat what I make and it needs to be under seven days old to culture properly.


(Diane) #3810

Omelet with thoroughly carmelized (to the point just short of burning) onions, sharp cheddar and sour cream.


(Steaks b4 cakes! 🥩🥂) #3811

Was a bit worried this was going to be a bit of a disaster but it came out well! Lasagne made with ground beef, layers of chicken deli meat, ricotta and mozzarella slices. Served it with a bit of garlic bread! :ok_hand:


#3812

Cheeseburger balls! Ok mine aren’t exactly round but it was my first attempt. These were modified from Keto Connect’s sausage balls (though I made both). Filled these will mini burger with onions and sharp cheddar. Next time I would add a little garlic powder or salt. Super filling and :yum:

(Brennan) #3813

Just starting a 5 day EF. So that gives me plenty of time to decide which to eat first!


#3814

4 kg of fresh mussles from Loch Fyne.
In a garlic cream sauce.


(Running from stupidity) #3815

Had this to tell my brain and body that today is an eating day. I’ve already eaten (now I’ve had this) so might as well eat lunch and dinner.


#3816

What’s lunch? A spoon of olives?


(Running from stupidity) #3817

Sausages, spam and eggs, I think. Or as I call it, the Viking Breakfast.

The PB is simply to have eaten something for the day, so therefore might as well keep eating rather than debating eat/not-eat endlessly #BRAINWARS style.


#3818

So, tonight we had carry out… um, sort of… or to a degree? :wink:

The wife made Chicken tonight, but I talked her into just adding it to the Salads, since I like meat in mine. …Then I just picked up 2 Rotisserie Chickens on my way home, since I had to stop and restock up on some Pickles and Olives anyway. :slight_smile: … Salad w/ Chicken & Pork Rinds. 1/2 Rotisserie Chicken, Bacon, Deviled Eggs, Pickles, Olives. Then a side of Shrimp and Brussel Sprouts & Sauerkraut from last night. Plus the Hot uncured Smoked Sausage that was left. … Almost finished it all. :neutral_face: Pups helped with the Thigh I couldn’t finish. :slight_smile:


(Jody) #3819

I can’t believe you left the thigh … that is my favorite part. l would have left (a.k.a. shared) the breast.

:wink:


#3820

Nah, I like the breast better. Oddly, the thighs were always my least favorite. :slight_smile: The wife too, she said. … She likes the wings best. … But do know they are better for ya, as far as being fattier. But I also add some butter, HWC, etc. to fatten up the Breast.


(Jody) #3821

I like the wings as well. At Thanksgiving, I start w/ the wings … then move to the thighs! I usually end up bringing home the legs because no one else wants to do all the work to get the meat off the tendons.


#3822

I don’t mind the legs either, but to be honest, I actually start with the Gizzards, Liver and Heart. … The wife is actually checking with the meat guy at the store presently, to see if he can order some Turkey Gizzards. … I already pick up Chicken Gizzards when they have them in. But would love to get a package of Turkey Gizzards. :yum: … But I’ve always like to cook these up first, or just use them in the gravy.
