Simple, yet classy.
What did you Keto today?
My first pizza bake! So happy how it came out. This made 4 servings & scratched my pizza itch without having to figure out a crust.
1 lb Italian sausage browned
1 red pepper sliced & cooked a bit with the sausage
1 jar Rao’s pizza sauce
8 oz mozzarella shredded
18-20 Uncured pepperoni slices halved
Layer in a casserole & bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes.
Coconut pancakes
I made some almond flour-parmesean crusted pork chops and cheddar cheese creamed spinach. First time, and it was happy with how quick easy and tasty it all turned out!
Yeah. If I didn’t like to read news while eating lunch, I’d probably go outside. Also, not the biggest fan of outside, but come warmer weather, maybe take my stuff down to millennium park for some time away from the phone.
Courgetti Carbonara…
I’m not convinced on this one. In the recipe I used the sauce didn’t turn out as creamy as I was expecting for carbonara, so will try a different one next time. I suspect I cooked the courgette (zucchini) too long as it became a little wet. It was still ok, just didn’t deliver what I had in mind. Will try egg based “noodles” next time.
Put the zucchini in a strainer and add salt to remove water. When done put the zucchini in a kitchen towel and squeeze out the water.
Traditional carbonara is very tricky to get right and does actually rely on the starch of the pasta to keep it from being scrambled eggs. Temperature control is also really really key.
On the upside, I have an unbreakable hack that produces a nice result and is keto friendly up the ying yang. Replace wheat pasta with zoodles:
All I can recommend is the one thing I’m hooked on, and is so far the ONLY thing I’ve been doing with pork belly.
I sous vide it for 8-12 hours (I did one longer than 12 and didn’t like it as much), then slice it up, deep fry the slices for about 2 minutes, put on a plate and add salt while they’re still sizzling and greasy.
Mmmm, I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.
I’d love to hear some other ideas with it. Some day I’ll need to branch out from only having one recipe for it…but not this day.
It’s almost 6am here on Wednesday --how are ya doing?
It’s so much easier to fast after that first damn 24 hours!
Only 12 to go! Prepping bacon and guacamole Fat Bombs to break my fast.
How about you?

I’m at 63 hours, I plan on having some Macadamia’s in about 9 hours to break the fast. 65 is my longest previous so I’ll pass that soon. Day 3 is awesome, I don’t feel hungry at all!
