The second picture down is sliced pork loin which would be cured and turned into peameal bacon. Peameal can be found in just about every Canadian grocery store. To make it keto, wash the cornmeal off the outside and fry in bacon grease. We had peameal on the flat top for lunch today. The first picture is Canadian back bacon and the only difference really is that it is cooked after curing.
What did you Keto today? Part Deux!
Interesting. Never heard of those. Do you have pizza with Canadian bacon on it there?
Looks sooo good
Such a long time ago classic for me, awe the then, foggy memories - literally
Dang, reminds me of my favorite early morning/late night
Um⦠recovery/Hangover recovery meal
Just add a chicken fried steak as wellš¤£
Stir fried pork, chorizo, ham & cabbage rolls with garlic and chilli for hubs
I just had an omelette made with the same meatsā¦
@Jamboribs you got me sweatin your flat top. That would be my favorite thing to use for cooking. I love eggs and pretty much anything else on it.
OMAD is tuna, pickles, bacon (yeah so shoot me), and ācheeseā.
Then I turn it into this 8 year old childās thought
process cheese, tuna and bacon mini taco.

Had a meal about noon of keto cheese biscuits, scrambled eggs with pimento cheese, and bacon (again!). My eyes were bigger than my stomach though and I couldnāt eat both biscuits. Almond flour is very filling. In the old days, I would have to stop myself or Iād eat 3-4 biscuits
Itās my one day off so itās also meal prep day. Made burgers for the BFs work lunches and a bunch of chicken thighs. That plus the other half of last nights meal should get us through my late work nights until Thursday. I also made lime cheesecake truffles (not pictured)
Dinner was pot roast and also the very first beef meal since leaving vegetarianism that I not only liked, but lovedddd. Itās Mississippi pot roast and itās so much better than the traditional pot roasts I had as a kid. I thought weād have at least a whole meal worth of leftovers but we ate the you know what out of it and thereās barely one lunches worth. The mushrooms and salad were good too. I would have ate more but my body wouldnāt let me, lol
Sounds very good, @Acnickel! Iām excited keto seems to be agreeing with you so well.
Being able to try new things agrees with me very much, and although I ate meat when I was a kid and teenager, it still is new to me and filled with culinary adventure. I might even go try one of those five guys burger bowls that have been popular of late!
I lost a bet with my husband, so I had to make him ācmoki,ā our local version of dumplings⦠not my recipe, itās in slovenian, but if anyone would like to have it, I can translate
Some pizza joints have Canadian back bacon as an item. Sometimes we use diced peameal on our pizza too
it looks so good, but I donāt really like 5 guys ⦠because their burgers are WAY to over cooked and dry. Like there is not even a hint of pink ⦠it is solid gray all the way though and that is just overdone
Sous vide thighs then pan fried 1-2 minutes for a very crunchy crispy skin. I made a rich curried cream sauce with the fond for the cauliflower. The bacon wrapped asparagus was cooked in the air fryer and brushed with a little balsamic to finish it off.
Love my sous vide
Catching up from the weekend.
Friday was Eggs, Cheese, Pork Belly and Vienna Sausage
Saturday was Ribeye, Shrimp, Squash, Zucchini, Cauliflower, and Onion ⦠all cooked on the grill (had to bring out the bigger grill because the food you see was only 1/2). This was intended to be split across 2 days ⦠but will make it 3. On Saturday the wife and I finished our shrimp and a couple of the veggies but didnāt touch the steak.
Which leads to Sundayā¦
Sunday was 1/2 the Steak, cauliflower, 1/2 squash, 1/2 zucchini, 4 eggs.
After seeing other ketonians eating this I tried some for the first time since I was a kid recently on a road trip, not at all like my childhood memories, gross and mushy! Iād rather eat a raw turnip with mustard on it.
@David_Stilley @Jody22 ⦠I grew up and still like both Vienna Sausages and Potted Meat, as my food post often dictate, but have to agree that you do come across some Vienna Sausages now days that are quite mushy, not like they used to be. But the ones with more firmness are better. (We mostly use them for treats for our Pups these days) but I also used to like them mostly on bread with Mustard. (Itās actually one of the few things I enjoyed on bread before Keto.) But by themselves nowadays, I do check them for firmness and donāt find myself eating them as much either.
Ya both know they donāt make things like they used to. ⦠But the Potted Meat still seems nice & salty and goes very well with Pork Rinds though.
