What Did You Keto Today? Part IV
Lunch… Fried Eggs, Bacon, Sausage (links and patties) Also had a Cream Soda Zevia and Almond Milk and ate a few Almonds. About 1/2 once or so.
Friday was another eating day. I’m really happy with how everything turned out.
The prep started the day before with making garlic and tomato confit:
On Friday morning, I broke my fast with a selection of blue cheeses from Rogue Creamery:
Then I made pajeon (Korean scallion pancakes). They tasted quite different from my usual omelettes and scrambled eggs. I liked them!
Dinner started with a burrata caprese salad. The balsamic vinegar was out of this world! I found it on Amazon and it greatly exceeded my expectations. It was thick and syrupy and amazing.
The main course was a zucchini pie, which was sort of like a zucchini frittata except it was heavier on the zucchini and lighter on the egg:
Yum! A very tasty feast to end another 5-day fast. Onwards!
Not quite a “midnight snack”, but later (nearly 9:00 PM) than I normally eat supper.
Heated up some sausage. Forgot to post this picture last night.
Pork chop, mushroom, purple bell pepper (which lost all it’s beautiful color once cooked) mushrooms and a few walnuts, all roasted. The mushrooms are fantastic, and the King Trumpet isn’t quite as flavorful as Chanterelles, but it is very similar and has the same texture. Winner! I have been looking for an alternate to Chanterelles for a long time. Also in the mix and very good are the Beech, Cremini and Shiitake.
Crater Lake was my favourite from this batch although I can’t put my finger on why! Still a couple more in the fridge to try the next time I eat. And I’m giddy that my wheel of this year’s Rogue River should be here in 10 days.
Rogue River is sold out now, you got lucky. I am a fan of Oregonzola. I had a lot of regional variations of Gorgonzola decades ago in Italy, and those flavors stayed with me all these years. Oregonzola comes closest of what I have tried.
I preordered this year’s Rogue River months ago to make sure I’d be able to get a wheel when it was released! I think they’ll make it available in their online store once they get all of the preorders filled, though. There’s still hope
Outstanding! All of it!
Would you mind sharing the link on Amazon for the balsamic vinegar?
Candy, just curious what you do have available for cooking appliances in your truck. I’ve never been inside of one, and wondering what might you have room for.
Brunch this morning was back to basics and logging my carbs again. I’ve gained a small amount of weight that hasn’t shifted so I want to see if I’m eating too many carbs. Trying to keep it honest.
Greek style omelette with Zucchini, red onion, oregano, Kalamata olives, sun dried tomatoes, and feta cheese. Plus, bacon and Canadian bacon.
Portabella Mushrooms, stuffed with Dungeness Deviled Crab, topped with Mozzarella Cheese. Also had a bowl of Cauliflower in Butter and a Grape Zevia. Also ate some Ghirardelli Dark Intense Chocolate.
I found rebel ice cream up in Breckenridge. Just at the King Soopers. I haven’t seen it anywhere else in Colorado
Update: I went to our local King Soopers and picked up peanut butter fudge rebel ice cream. I haven’t had rebel ice cream before and it’s a bit more creamy than I would like. Still quite good
We have Rebel here in Maryland too, and I have asked the Wife before if she had ever tried it. I know that her and my Son will occasionally pick up some HaloTop here, but I’ve also seen Rebel brands in the case as well. (I don’t fool with ice-cream much TBH, maybe a spoonful or two rarely. - But it’s still nice to have some around, especially after eating something really salty or spicy. Couple bites is good)
Just finished making lunch… Made a Taco Omelette since it’s relatively easy, plus I wanted to try out the new pan V picked up the other day. I pretty much, or sort-of, destroyed the other one we had by me using it as a Searing Pan for so long. (But it worked great for a while! ) But this one will be kept strictly for cooking Eggs, Omelettes, etc. Still have quite a few sm/med that work fine, so just the large.
This is exactly how I like ice cream a couple spoonfuls after something spicy!
I love Rebel way more than Halo. Halo doesn’t have enough fat I think.
