What did you Keto today? Part Deux!

[Robinette71]

Yes it is. We are already showing tornadoes on radar in other parts of the state. My nerves are shot.

Now I don’t think I can have lunch or dinner unless its meat. I have fish for lunch so I can have that I guess.

Curious, how many carbs were in the granola you ate? You might be okay eating some salad or broccoli without much added to the carbs you already ate. But meat, bacon and eggs and fish will get you back on track quick.

We have some major storms heading out way today - Virginia / Stafford / Quantico / F’burg area.

Golden low-carb granola

8 oz. pecans or hazelnuts or almonds (used pecans)
¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup sunflower seeds
4 tbsp pumpkin seeds (didn’t have pumpkin seeds)
4 tbsp sesame seeds
¾ cup flaxseed
1 tbsp turmeric
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup almond flour
1 cup water
4 tbsp coconut oil

I would have run far and fast from that recipe BUT I have portion control issues with anything granola-like, the amount of nuts and sunflower seeds would have done me in…

Yeah, I believe Carrie Brown was low carb before she went Keto. I also think she may have a higher carb tolerance than I do as she wasn’t ever overweight (and so maybe she wasn’t/isn’t insulin resistant). I do think many of those recipes still work for me, I just have to be really careful about portions and how often I include them in my meals.

[Diygurl19]

I have to also be more mindful at looking at the listed carbs before I make them.

Last night attended a presentation on aging gracefully, and retirement. It was served at the Denver aquarium and the choices were salmon or steak. I chose one of each and my husband decided to do the steak so I had the salmon. I’m a better cook clearly, the salmon was like shoe leather. I ate all of the zucchini Summer squash and eggplant out of the vegetable Medley.

We are under tornado warning in southwest Florida as a big storm line covers the state. Looks like we are cooking inside tonight.

aging gracefully

I think keto has you covered there Karen.

Sausage and Eggs with my newly perfected Keto Mini Coffee Cake

Yesterday’s coffee cake paled by comparison! .

Happy Friday

Keto Mini Coffee Cake

Keto Mini Coffee Cake [image] This kind of had a lot of ingredients but many of you probably keep this stuff in the pantry. My second attempt was a winner but I am going to continue with tweaks to try to lower the carb count some more. Dry: mix in a small bowl 5 teaspoons coconut flour 1 Tablespoon almond flour 1 teaspoon psyllium husk 2 teaspoons of erythritol 1 teaspoon of 1 to 1 stevia baking substitute, use some drops if you’re using liquid. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon o…

Mushroom fritttatta with zuchini noodles

Heavy stuff, ate half of the frittatta and I was full. Just some coffee and good to go for the next 18 - 24 hours.

[Shortstuff]

Roast lamb ribs and slightly too runny turmeric mayo.

I am finally working through a few baking experiments in the kitchen today. This is Carrie Brown’s Chocolate Fudge Mug Cake with cream cheese fluff and fresh strawberries. I added 1.5 TBS of Lily’s chcocolate chips to the mug cake.

Chocolate Fudge Mug Cake

BTW- way better than those Hostess Suzy Q’s I used to crave.

[Elle79]

Happy ketoversary Allie! What are lamb ribs like?

[Diygurl19]

Eggs it is!

[Shortstuff]

Just like the breast but with bits of bone to navigate. They’re not bad, very cheap to buy which has to be a good thing.

[Digital_Dave]

Sorry you’re down! At the very least, take something at night so you can rest. That’s top priority when you’re fighting a bug. Feel better soon!

Thanks, Candy. Actually just what I’m doing. Cough-Syrup with Codeine we had left from not long ago. But between the sweats, coughing fits, etc. Sleep still isn’t coming along too well.

Thanks, @Elle79 @monsterjuice I’m hoping so too. This one really kicking my ass presently.

Happy ketoversary @Shortstuff .

The Wife was going to make me Chicken Soup of sorts, adding some Broccoli and thickening it some. But then she started cooking up some meats for this weekend, and I just told her to throw some on a plate, and that I actually didn’t care if the grease bothered me.

I actually only ate two of the Eggs, 2 slices Bacon & 4 Sausages. Gave her back the rest for the Pups. Could have finished it really, but just not really feeling it.

[BeStill]

On a keto fathead bagel half…avocado, avocado oil mayo, and uncured beef pastrami (pretty sure I could eat this one everyday for the rest of my life lol) AND cleaning some Morels in saltwater for dinner side dish

[monsterjuice]

Looks so good!
