Lunch yesterday was 2 hotdogs on a dietdoctor bun. I call it dog gone good!!!
What did you Keto today? Part Deux!
Simple, down and dirty today… Sous Vide, Delmonico Steak (3 hrs.) seared with Mayo in hot pan (recently suggested to me, from @richard 's Mayo Sear) with Butter fried Mushrooms.
Also 2 squares 92% Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate & small amount of Peanut Butter Halo Top Ice Cream. Will be doing some fasting this week, so will start after tonight’s leftover Lasagna from last night.
I’m experimenting a little bit with my oat fiber flour. The texture is still good. Mixing it is crucial for the size of bubbles it forms. Here’s a picture. it looks a little bit like a bathroom sponge, but so does bread.
I’m using less than a tablespoon of butter but I did try it without baking powder and it does need the baking powder.
So I combine the baking powder flour, salt and a bit of sweetener. I blend the one egg and then slowly add it as I mix it into the pasty oat flour mix. I microwaved it for about 75 seconds and cut it in half. If I add the egg all at once I end up with an inconsistent texture with large bubbles and small bubbles… probably because of the baking powder. Blend thoroughly! I have cooked it 90 seconds or more but it gets a bit hard. VERY happy with this bit of bread
Everyone, my Presidential running mate!

Leftover Cabbage Lasagna, w/ Brussel Sprouts in Creamy Cheese Sauce. Also Salad and Cauliflower.
2 squares 92% Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate. … Starting a Fast now, but don’t know for how long.
Had a spaghetti craving so I made zoodles with a mushroom “meat” sauce. I found a red pesto that only has 5 net carbs in the whole jar, 10 total minus 5 grams of fiber. So good. I think I like zoodles more than pasta. Followed it by some leftover valentines Keto Cheesecake that I froze last week. A good day! Had a really good dinner-to-dinner fast with little hunger and lots of energy and ended with a lovely meal
@Acnickel Beautiful, I love the zoodles too. I got a spiralizer for Christmas.
So I got it out and made 72 hr. bone broth in a Dutch oven at 180F. Great broth, and I was ready to throw out the strained part and tried the meat. It still had a good moist fatty texture especially the neck. So I cleaned out the dark meat and fried it in bacon grease with the organ meats and gave it a Chinese flavor profile and it’s delicious! Had some homemade Paò Caí (Chinese sauerkraut) with it.
I’m going to get a container of chicken gizzards and hearts next time I’m shopping.
I pick these up anytime they have them in. … But they don’t always, but maybe 50% of the time.
Like gumbo…but not. It started life as a gumbo recipe, but there have been a lot of changes and tweaks.
Hubby gifted me a dinner of chicken thighs wrapped in prosciutto and fried in butter topped with shredded gruyere🤗
My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary with a weekend away to a resort in the San Juan Islands, here in Washington State.
The first night’s dinner started with these briny little Judd Cove oysters. The main course was a ketogenic dream come true, with a Heritage, pastured pork chop, topped with this warm bacon slaw, more than half of which was bacon. The mash underneath is carrots and potatoes- I just scraped those aside and ignored them.
The second night my husband had the halibut Caesar and I had these sesame pork mince lettuce wraps with sriracha and rosemary Marcona almonds. I could detect a little sugar in the meat, which was a little disappointing but not surprising. Everybody thinks Asian inspired dishes need sugar.

Today on the way home we stopped at a food co-op/restaurant that has the most delicious pork belly to top off a salad. I have to stop and get some whenever I’m rolling through. They look dry in the picture, but when you cut into one of those little cubes with your fork- oh my gawd.
When we got home tonight I needed dinner to be simple and fast, because being on the road and waterways for 7 hours to get home…
So I cooked up some skirt steak for 3 minutes on each side, cut it on the bias after letting it rest and threw together a Dijon & caper cream sauce for the top. Seemed pretty fancy for ten minutes of work. Next time I make that sauce, it’s going on a piece of pork. Because pork.
Tell me one more time how you could never do a diet as limiting and restrictive as Keto. I’ll just be over here shedding pounds, repairing my metabolism and stabilizing my mental health by eating bar food for breakfast.
