What Did You Keto Today? The Trilogy!

[David_Stilley]

my new secret ingredient (pssst sparkling water)

So what effect did it have on the eggs?

When one’s parents have a glut of cucumbers there’s just one thing to do: ferment them!

These pickled really quickly - I set the first batch going on Friday and ate some yesterday - tart, tangy and delicious.

These I’m having with my ham, salad and devilled eggs this evening (oh, here’s some celery in this batch too):

And this is the next batch, started this morning:

For new ferments, I always use brine from previous ferments - it kickstarts the process beautifully. I have this afternoon been given MORE cucumbers - so I’m digging out another kilner jar!

They kinda puffed up and were lighter somehow! It was a lucky accident really😁

Leftovers from the weekend… #omad

I might try a different cut of pork and see what happens as I’m wondering if it’s the very high fat content upsetting me…

Cheesy breadsticks with homemade blue cheese dressing for dipping. Keto friendly of course.

Edit: here’s a link to the tweaked recipe

Cheesy Breadsticks- Keto-firs

Here are some cheesy bread sticks I just made. I used this recipe for inspiration (with some tweaking): https://www.nickoskitchen.net/blog/keto-bread-sticks [image] INGREDIENTS 1 large egg 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (or cream cheese- ricotta makes the bread fluffier; I used a half cup of cottage cheese, blended with a stick blender) 3/4 cup (84 grams) fine almond flour 1 TBS psyllium husk powder 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp baking soda 1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional) 1/2 tsp garlic pow…

Steak mince fried up with chilli flakes and loads of salt, and a fried egg. Simple.

Di, those look SOOOOO good!!! I may have to make them now!!!

[DiMo]

They’re pretty good. I tweaked the recipe a bit, using only half the Italian seasoning it called for (I would still cut it down even further) and didn’t end up using all the cheese (it was still plenty cheesy) and I would add more garlic or use a garlicky Alfredo as a base underneath the cheese.

Steak and eggs… Well beef cheeks and eggs

[x-Dena-x]

Alfredo as a base underneath the cheese.

This is brilliant. I’m gonna give it a whirl. Did you do store bought or your own?

[DiMo]

I’ve done both homemade and store bought in the past. If I’m buying it, I look for the bottled Alfredo without added seed oils, but I don’t remember which brand right now. I then add more garlic to it.

[Digital_Dave]

They look nice indeed.

[Shortstuff]

So here I am just embarking on a month of dairy free, and you go and post this… I’m glad you enjoyed it and hope it was enough enjoyment for both of us

I look for the bottled Alfredo without added seed oils, but I don’t remember which brand right now.

Rao’s Homemade looks like it might be a good choice. Light Cream, butter, several types of cheese, eggs. No seed oils. Does have some cornstarch. About 2g carbs per 1/4 cup (200g) serving.
I’ve used it in the past and have a jar on the shelf right now.

Grilled ribeye, cucumbers with a sweet ‘n sour dressing, and Brussels sprouts drizzled with baconnaise which had melted deliciously all over them by the time I took the pic.

The next time someone asks me “But what can you eat??” Imma send them this picture.

[Momof5]

Great idea., that looks delicious =).

[Digital_Dave]

OMAD today… Olives, Pepperoni, Cheese-Burger, Fried Liver, Fried Onions and a dish the wife threw together with Squash, Chopped Tomatoes and Italian Sausage. I asked her to toss in fried Mushrooms to compliment it, and I also added a little Rao’s Sauce just to help gather it all up nicely.

Dinner. Mealime creation. Zoodles with simmered tomato sauce and beef meatballs. Interestingly the meatballs had cumin in it but you really couldn’t taste it
