Yeah, I think when it comes to Eggs, Bacon, etc. it’s one of those rare times where I don’t think Pickles and Olives go as well. Not that they couldn’t mind you, just not as well. … But yes, I may not keep much in my fridge at work for the most part for that occasional mid-day meal during the weekdays. But you can surely bet that there are always Pickles and Olives in there though.
What did you Keto today? Part Deux!
Rack of lamb with turmeric butter mashed cauliflower. I’m not a fan of carb substitutes. I find that they just evoke cravings for the real carbs. But that mashed cauliflower was interplanetary …
I’ve been drinking matcha from the mighty leaf brand which my grocery carries, although I dump it into the jar I got from my vitacost brand matcha since the container they use is better. They have three kinds, regular, with turmeric, and with cocoa. I like the regular and the one with cocoa The vitacost brand one is also good for the price and I ordered that through amazon but I think it might be cheaper straight from vitacost. I’ve tried a few other from amazon and the only one I hated was a brand called matcha dna. That brand is gritty and muddy in color, pretty gross.
Steak, marinated, mesquite charboiled with chipotle sauce; jack cheese.
Had a couple of bites of the refried beans. Ignored the rice just out of the picture.
My first attempt at making courgette noodles with my spiralizer today…bit of an arm ache but well worth it! They’re a bit watery after steaming but didn’t affect the taste. Two bits of garlic bread tonight and an extra meatball (or two!) because I’m having a hungry day. My daughter wanted to share my garlic bread…and I didn’t want to share! #meanmummy
I’ve been baking mine in the oven and that seems to help reduce the watery-ness. Bf and I like them better than real pasta
Oooh that’s a brilliant idea! Do you just put them straight on a baking sheet and then in the oven?
I do it on a parchment covered sheet pan but I think you could do it straight onto a cookie sheet if you spray it with oil or butter it. It doesn’t take long. Maybe 15 minutes at 350°. It frees up stovetop space too, which I like.
Awesome thanks for this! Gonna give it a go next time I make them
As long as those refried beans were made with real LARD, it’s excusable.
Courgoodles?
Try tossing them with a good sprinkling of salt, let them sit for 10 minutes and rinse. And then put them on a kitchen towel or run them through a salad spinner to dry them before baking. Bake at 350 spread thin on a sheet pan and pat with a paper towel when they come out. Check in 5 minutes and often afterwards until they have an al dente texture. They will shrivel quickly if you forget to check (personal experience).
Edit: I just saw @Acnickel already suggested baking, I stand by my time. Ovens and sheet pans vary a lot. The first time I did it 15 minutes turned them crispy brown. I never used any fat, I had no sticking problem because they throw off moisture when cooking and it was a non stick baking sheet. The salting step I mentioned gets some water out before you start cooking them
Had a nice Salad with Egg and some of the leftover Turkey Salad, then a piece of Salmon & Shrimp.
Little more Shrimp followed, just not shown…
V had Fish and Shrimp too, but only took a photo of her Turkey Salad with some friends
I do use the larger of the choices of cutting plates. I think if I was using the smaller I’d definitely do 5-7 minutes even in my crappy apartment oven
Dinner was cheese crust pizza with beyond meat hot Italian sausage. So good! I used just two tablespoons of pesto on the whole thing, tons of flavor
Half day at work today so I ate some lunch
A day in the life
keto life…Breakfast
Lunch was food not yet eaten. I started two more batches of colorful sauerkraut in honor of the Indian festival Holi, a festival of color and happiness which is two weeks from today.
The one on the left is Golden Sauerkraut, it has turmeric, Serrano chilies, sweet mini peppers and black pepper. The one on the right is Ginger Carrot Sauerkraut.
Corned Beef and Cabbage
I did it my way
Fifty hour sousvide corned beef fried a bit in bacon fat and homemade raw caraway seed sauerkraut. What do y’all expect from an Irish, Jewish, German mixed redneck hippie cook? I don’t think that I need any extra salt today!
