What Did You Keto Today? Part IV

I thought the same, actually I only have the yellow one (turmeric, of course, that brilliant color…) because I made experiments at Easter… I usually only have the brown ones (balsamic vinegar and optionally soy sauce as well). At Easter, I used onion peels too but on eggs with their shells on… No photo because I wasn’t very pleased with the results, they were pretty but the color came off too easily and the result color wasn’t as pretty. I still couldn’t shot it but I barely never did photos back then, now I surely would grab my camera and do something with whatever eggs I have!
I will make more experiments in the future. I want blue eggs too. And of course, the wonderful ones with beetroot and too much patience I am not sure I possess… The brown and yellow ones are pretty nice in a single day… I eat my eggs too quickly :smiley:

@OgreZed: Bread is very delicious to me… Well, it depends on the bread. And some rice is flavorful too (like Jasmine), the normal one is a bit bland, yes, I don’t miss it at all and never was a big fan. Pasta is tasty if it’s full with good eggs…

Cultured my own sour cream :smiley:

So easy. Sterilize a pint mason jar, fill the hot jar with heavy cream. Add 3 Tbl buttermilk and set on your countertop for 24 hours.

I gave it a stir about halfway to mix it as it was thicker on the bottom.

You can culture your own buttermilk also, which I will be doing from now on with a previous batch like I do yogurt. I love the Bulgarian strains and had to get the Bulgarian yogurt as a starter in Ft Worth at a high-end grocery. Always save some for the next batch.

My buttermilk is also a Bulgarian strain from a local dairy so will be culturing from it from now on.

Sounds great! I have questions about the buttermilk (uneducated here!) - is buttermilk cultured when you get it at the store? Does this make it lower carb? I always thought it was all the carbs left behind when you took out the butter. What do you use it for? I only ever used it for pancakes & dressing. :woman_shrugging:

I’m far less cultured. Mine are “JB” - Jethro Bodine! :rofl::rofl::crazy_face:

Looked in the fridge, saw the head of cabbage, the rest is history. Chicken crack slaw for brekky! Sing along with me - :musical_score: :notes: “Chicken crack slaw, and I don’t care” :notes::rofl:

This was breakfast.

And we’ve just had lunch in the garden - no pic as I’d left my gadgetry in the house. Cheese and ham on chaffle toast served with THE best salad ever - shredded iceberg, kraut, celery and coriander leaves with mayo, served on our first homegrown lettuce leaves (we’re onto the lettuce ‘proper’ now, no more thinnings). The salad had a kind of krauty coleslaw/rémoulade combo feel.

It’s an absolutely glorious day here in south-east UK - hot and very sunny. Apparently there’s a chance of an overnight frost tonight, though, followed by some cool, wet days. Oh well!

Yes, it is cultured from milk. I bought some powdered buttermilk culture but it hasn’t arrived yet and I was curious if my store bought buttermilk still had live cultures in it. Apparently it does!

I use it mainly for homemade ranch dressing. And every 2 weeks I make sourdough waffles from my starter and it calls for buttermilk. I only have half a waffle but still a lot of carbs, hence the every 2 weeks deal.

Dinner was hamburger, fried with bacon and smothered in Farmer’s cheese, fried onion and the other half of the red bell pepper. Tasty and very satisfying. Late lunch was one slice of ham wrapped in a lettuce leaf with some mayo. It was more of a snack than a lunch.

Took my grated cheese, spring onion, celery and mayo chaffwiches to Mum’s.


Her garden is so beautiful, and we spent a few peaceful hours chatting. 6 feet apart of course!

Perfect.

Apparently so! Good job I have saved a few untidy cupboards specially :confused:

Hi All. This is part introduction and also a contribution to my favorite topic. New here, 58 year old female. I’ve been eating low carb (and IF 17:7) for about 2 months, Mostly for the health benefits. I’m at a good weight with plenty of energy. I’m in the Midwest and love to cook and bake.

Turkey hash with peppers, onion, celery, and cauliflower rice. Seasonings were paprika, garlic, oregano, thyme, Salt, pepper, and Cayenne pepper. And a sprinkling of scallions over the top.

This dish isn’t really fancy, but oh gosh did it hit the spot. Flavors were so balanced and the egg on top was like the proverbial cherry on top. I really enjoy eating this way and hope to contribute more often.

Another salad. This is a picture before I added my warmed up sardines. They come packed in olive oil. Cabbage, brussels sprouts, kale mix. Pickled carrots and onions. Sunflower seeds mushrooms radishes and mozzarella
