Luncheon, a bit Carby
What Did You Keto Today? The Trilogy!
My feasting days are typically IF, so I breakfast between noon and 1:00. My local grocery store has this basket of fancy cheese ends that one can score on the cheap- so a couple of days a week I can run by there, grab some cheese and a small amount of whatever kind of charcuterie is on my taste buds, come home and breakfast on a cutting board picnic. Today’s line up is from around the world. We’ve got beef Bresaola from Italy, Brebirousse d’Argental sheep’s milk cheese from France, sheep’s milk Gouda from Holland, shredded chicken thigh from yesterday’s cooking extravaganza, Castelvetrano olives, cherry tomatoes, a sliced radish and some kimchi. I guess I kind of fail the “eat locally sourced food” test today.
Herbed salmon with daikon radish “noodles” in a homemade Alfredo sauce
Sauteed the 'noodles" in a Rosemary olive oil with the the fond & herb’s left in the pan from the salmon.
Braised oxtails and stir fried veg. Dang man. Could I be any happier right now? I mean, probably-but I’m too full to consider the possibilities.
Monday OMAD:
2 x (70/30) burgers w/ cheese, 1 slice hog head cheese, liver pate, beef summer sausage
Although it’s warmer in my workshop today than it has been of late, I loved having my hot soup for lunch just now.
Well, I thought I’d reached soup nirvana with broccoli, leek, basil and cream cheese. But no! I think I like cauliflower, leek, mature cheddar and cream cheese EVEN BETTER.
Reckon I’ll still be necking soup for lunch in the next July heatwave - it’s that delicious!
I had beef mince and a pack of sausages. So I made a beef chilli with sausage meatballs . Fabulous.
Also some frankenfluff with blackberries whizzed in.
Yesterday had some Eye testing done that screwed up my vision for the day… Got home and had some lunch. - 2 Leftover Shrimp Foo Young Patties, some Scallops and a nice piece of Salmon…
Last night had some Cauliflower, Deviled Eggs, Pickles, Olives, Pepperoni and Sous Vide Top Sirloin Steak. (Wife ate about 1/4 of what’s shown and the pups got some too. Very large Steak indeed)
And today, I just did a Coconut Bai, Rotisserie Chicken, Pepperoni and a small Salad for today’s OMAD…
Sous vide steak, pan seared in duck fat. A salted avacado and some of my homemade Kimchi for sides. My keteraid and local hot sauce “Front St. Heat” to round it out. So good!
I just use:
1 Egg
1/2 C Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
For the basic Chaffle. They take about 5 minutes and makes 2.
I have the Mini Dash.
Over time, I learned it works best to weigh the beaten egg (tare weight) and divide it into separate small bowls then add 1/4 C cheese to each. They are much more uniform that way.
I added scrambled eggs, bacon and cheese to this one.
I swapped the soy sauce with tamari (you could use coconut aminos) and the sugar with allulose, and the chicken breast for chicken thigh- then I wrapped all that spicy goodness in lettuce and kept eating until I was full.
Sichuan Bang Bang Chicken
Lunch today (Made last night) … 2 Double Swiss Burgers with Butter-Sauteed Mushrooms, Sausage Patties and Iced Tea. (Then cleaned off the plate since I was out of paper-plates) Reloaded with; Olives, Pickles, Sauerkraut, Cottage Cheese, Greek Yogurt with Black Berries, Cheddar Cheese and Pepperoni. Also had a Zevia Cream Soda. (Picked some up them up the other day to try them out. - Cream Soda, Black Cherry and GingerAle.) Not too bad overall, just wanted something with a different flavor. I’ve been drinking loads of Tea lately, and need a change from time to time. Plus been dealing with congestion for the past couple months, so doesn’t seem like I’m tasting things that well presently.
so how were your patties as leftovers? (freeze or fridge?) I find egg things to not always be the best as leftovers so I am curious.
