What did you Keto today?

[CandyLindTX]

Celebrating National Pancake Day with (what else?) @Brenda Zorn Pork Rind Pancakes, toasted pecans & Walden Farms syrup mixed with butter, and a side of bacon. GROAN! This is sooooo good.

This was so good the other day that I just had to do it again.

Lamb Stew & “Rice”

[Baytowvin]

Not a great picture, but; chicken thighs with a pan/cream sauce with garlic and capers.

[Buttercups]

One of my faves!

Now plz advise what I should do with my pork belly.

[Supergreg]

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!

[LeCheffre]

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.

Invention: took leftover Cauli-mash, mixed with eggs and mozzarella, fried in bacon grease.

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.

[MmmBacon]

Thanks Matt, will give that a go.

[LeCheffre]

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!

[avocadosrule]

The only thing I have done so far is put the pork belly in instant pot for about 60 min and then pan fry it! Have not compared it to sous vide. Yet.

[GhostlySmile]

My supper last night disappeared too fast for pictures. Just a hunk of steak, seasoned with taco seasoning, with a sour cream, salsa, and cheese mixture spread on top.

[LeCheffre]

Homemade bacon.

Lots of ways to go with it. It’s really good just smoked, without the cure.
