What did you Keto today?

[nalien2000]

Yesterday I did a second attempt at a spiralized zucchini dish. It turned out well, with an alfredo-like pesto sauce:

I leave them in the skin. Just open them and put them face down on the grill for a few minutes. If they are a little underripe I may turn them over on their backs for a bit as the heat helps soften them up some.

There is no recipe.
I season the pieces with salt at least a day in advance (I do this with any meat) to allow the salt to get deep inside.
Brown the pieces in coconut oil. You want a deep brown and fond in the pan. Set that aside
Saute some diced onions and whole garlic gloves, making sure that the fond is dislodged.
Add some tomato paste to the pan. Cook that until it starts to stick to the pan
season with salt and pepper, add the pieces back to the pan. Mix well
Add enough beef/chicken stock to just come to the top of the meat. Add a bay leaf, bring to a boil and transfer to a 325 degrees oven. Cook until fork tender. Takes anywhere from 2 to 4 hours.
Best cooked a day or two in advance.

I like it seasoned as simple as that since oxtail is plenty flavorful on its own.
You can use whatever spices you like. Add them while you saute the onions. That way they open up and release their flavors into the oil.

I like to cook down my sauce. So I’d normally strain and doctor the sauce. Taste for seasoning adjust to your liking

Bacon & sausage “pasta”.

What are the noodles made from? Looks good

[Elle79]

Brand called Bare Naked, mostly konjac (shiritaki) but with a bit of soy flour, 0.9carb per 100g, the whole pan does me 8-10 meals.

Shrimp and… GUESS…

[Elle79]

Damn that looks tasty.

I played with the Scandinavian pate recipe today, and also (finally) a great keto cracker to go with it. I will never look at a Ritz cracker the same way again…a side of collard greens sauteed in garlic and olive oil.
The salad is romaine and baby spinach with avocado, cranberries and oil cured olives.
Its dressed with plain fresh lemon salt and pepper.

Here is something I abstained from eating… thoughtful coworkers provided a little origami box of candies to each of us. I promptly donated mine to the break room table

[Fat_Mike]

I could pass up everything, but the krackle would cause some emotional distress. I’m afraid my parents will give me the usual bag of Christmas candy in a few days. I don’t want to be rude so I’ll just accept it without saying anything about my eating habits and then donate it at work as well. It’s a little weird that they still give me a stocking of candy at 34 years old, but I’m never going to complain about kindness. I might mention subtly about the keto thing in hopes of getting a turkey leg instead this year if they haven’t already purchased sugar. I wouldn’t mind seeing some bacon and a turkey leg hanging over the fireplace.

I’m fasting today; gotta stop looking at the “what did you eat” forum. Everything looks great

Threw together a quick dish and it’s nearly a perfect keto dish imo except a little high in protein due to the mozzarella.

4oz local mozzarella
2 hass avocados
1.5 oz beef
2 oz beef tripe with lemon juice
pickled unripe mango
shredded cabbage
2 tbsp olive oil
sea salt

Thank you! I will try that!

[curlybri]

Those shrimp look AMAZING! I have never had shrimp and eggs. I may try that!

@Fat_Mike I bet some Lily’s Chocolate melted add in some pork rinds would make a Keto Krackle Bar. I’ll give it a go and let you know if it works out.

[Ernest]

It’s downright fantastic. Works great as well if you chop the shrimp up, dump in a hot pan. Then pour beat up eggs over the shrimp and fold the mess.

I’ve been spending some time lately over on the topic about this WOE being called unsustainable. Well, as I sat crying over forcing myself to suffer through overeasy eggs, thick cut peppercorn bacon, and some mushrooms I sautee’d in bacon nectar for the hell of it I began to question just whether or not I could continue to suffer this way. After all, shouldn’t I long for the cardboard… uh, I mean food that I so diligently prepared when I was a vegetarian?

BWAHAHAHAAAA, Oh the suffering is too much… so I got up and fixed myself another egg!

[Keto_Chef_Rob]

Some homemade BEEF JERKY!!!

Hanger steak cut real thin.

Liquid Aminos
Worchester sauce
Chili flakes
Garlic Powder

Put on a rack, in the oven at 175 for 6 hrs and presto!

[KetoWally]

Looks great @Marigrace. Where might I find the recipe for the crackers? I fancy having a go at those.

Bob, I agree with you so much. I’ve never ate better at any other point in my life.
