What Did You Keto Today? Part IV

[Digital_Dave]

Nice. Also good to see/hear of folks making the best out of these crazy times. And starting something up that works is always a plus. - I’ve always enjoyed Mushrooms and wanting to try some of the others I’ve only seen on shows, but searches in my area hasn’t produced anything that I was able to find yet.

The Wife just put a slab of Ribs in the oven to slow cook for a while, and I’m thinking about throwing together some Shrimp Egg Foo Young for lunch. … But I’ll definitely be thinking of Mushrooms!

We were just speaking last night about making up some Crab/Mozzarella stuffed Portobello’s. - I’ve done them in a few ways, including Taco-Stuffed, but this will be the first time trying Dungeness Crab

I find that if I eat a good size brunch it will hold me off till dinner, with only a mid afternoon cuppa with my fancy frothy cream.

Hard boiled egg with TJ everything seasoning, and chicken sausage.

New pancake recipe from Serious Keto. Highly recommended. https://www.seriousketo.com/breakfasts/keto-pancakes/ LC homemade blueberry syrup

Homemade yogurt with high protein whole milk. Strawberries from local farmers market.

Chanterelles and Porcini are my very favorite mushrooms. Unfortunately, they are not willing to grow in captivity. I was able to buy some frozen porcini but they end up extreme in flavor when frozen, and I add a tiny sliver to soups sauces and stews. Chanterelles I can only get dried, and it takes away the texture and omami flavors IMO. Once in a blue moon I see some in a package of “mixed mushrooms” at Fred Meyers (Krogers).

Had this the other day, when the site was down:

Chicken livers, marinated in sweet cream and wrapped in bacon (this is one of my faves now, the livers are nice and moist and the flavors compliment each other nicely, plus my dogs love it when I use the left over marinade as gravy for their meals) mushrooms and broccoli.

Beautiful.

Im in Scotland so no idea how easy they are to find/buy there. Sometimes you can find at farmers markets/farm shops etc… or If your lucky you might be able to find them, this might help? http://arizona-mushrooms.org/2014/03/12/chanterelles-and-lookalikes/

I’ll be passing on your pancake recipe to the Wife. It’s one of those things she’s always enjoyed, and mentions them from time to time. …

Thank you

Dinner… Some BBQ Ribs, with Kale with Bacon. Plus a side plate of Cheese, Pepperoni, Olives and Pickles. Also drank a Coconut Bai and Iced Tea.

Local Greek restaurant (got carryout) - gf is good friends with the owner. Pic taken by gf before it was boxed as they made a mistake and thought we were eating in. Got a rack of lamb and side of spinach (not pictured). Did not eat the potatoes although they looked delicious!

Another really good food day. Dinner was a zucchini salad with lemon and feta. A little backstory on this one. Over a year ago DH bought a spiralizer for me and it sat in my cupboard for over a year before I tried it out. With low carb lifestyle though it quickly became a favorite. However the one he bought for me was just a ‘starter spiralizer’ and I quickly realized it’s limitations. I ordered a new one and I love it, seriously!

Amazon.com: Brieftons 5-Blade Spiralizer (BR-5B-02): Strongest-and-Heaviest Duty...

And here is the recipe; https://joyfilledeats.com/summer-zucchini-salad/

I also served chili lime chicken curtesy of Papa G’s YouTube channel. The flavor profile was spot on. Super moist, too.

I just ordered that spiralizer. Thanks for the tip!

[Athena61]

Awesome and you’re welcome. I think you will really love it. I’m looking forward to trying out different vegetables with it.

Also, if you are anything like me I want to be shown how to use something rather than read a tiny printed manual. I found this video to be very helpful. It’s a customer review/video by Susanne Natafji. If the link doesn’t work for you her video should pop up under Videos:videos for this product.

Have a good laugh at this picture, but it’s the reality of keto in a big truck where you can’t do your own cooking due to space limitations. This used to be 12 pieces of bacon for myself & hubby, but I didn’t think to take a picture until most of it was gone. I don’t trust Subway eggs to be “just eggs,” so we ate bacon. (I bought this, even though we have a pound of pre-cooked in the fridge, because we still have 12 days before we get home.) THANK GOD FOR BACON!!!
