What did you Keto today?

Chicken hearts. I had them for the first time at a Brazilian steakhouse and had to try to make them at home. Since it’s my first time, I just cooked them in butter and seasoned with some salt, pepper, garlic, and a little chili powder. DELICIOUS. Next time I’ll try deep frying them. There’s no way my wife will ever try them, and I’m not going to push the issue, because that means they’re all mine.

I luvs me some hearts!

:flushed: :exploding_head: I think they might be right about the cruel thing! That looks more than slightly amazing. But your penchant for perfection is understandable, too.


(Candy Lind) #5167

I’m curious where you got them. I never see hearts.

We have a pretty good meat shop close to my home. We don’t have much for true “butchers” so it’s sometimes tough to get custom cuts (like untrimmed ribeyes), but this shop gets a lot of frozen goodies from their wholesale distributors, also where I get my chicken skin. I even picked up a pound of ground kangaroo meat on my last run. I should probably ask @richard what to do with that, because I have no idea. I just couldn’t NOT grab it when I saw it. The package of chicken hearts was just over a pound for about $2.

Black pepper smoked salmon with a poached egg, and enough hollandaise to make me full :slight_smile:
Here is the hollandaise recipe. Purists, avert your eyes:

How I brunch at the Mexican restaurant. Waiter was very patient with my specific requests.

So artistic! :grin:

Obviously not all eaten yet, but they came out really pretty with the two different colors of seeds. The “shine” is from a spritz of avocado oil on the upper parchment when I rolled them, so it would be easy to remove for scoring. I am so happy with the results, that’s going to be SOP from now on.
OH … and four pounds of bacon baked and bagged for future meals. My bacon nectar container is FULL! :flushed: Everything’s getting cooked in bacon nectar this week. :relaxed:

I already got a request for the recipe, so:


I made it with the seasonings they suggested this time, but I’ve made them with just salt and pepper, and with a Tex-Mex mix (chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin) as well. A friend reduced the liquid and mixed in fresh salsa one time, and they had to cook a little longer but came out tasting great.

When I make sauerkraut I give it a solid month of room temp fermentation. I just made a batch of pickles and put an entire head of cauliflower in there (but into florets). I seed new pickle jars with sauerkraut juice, and it is ready and full sour in 10 days. IME a week is just not enough time for fermentation

My birthday cake, :laughing: My hubby said, “I love the Keto diet.”


(Sophie) #5181

What’s not to love about pulled pork! :heart_eyes:


(Candy Lind) #5182

I was ANXIOUS! I’ll try to go longer next batch - promise! :relaxed: :innocent:

This was an experiment.


I was still hungry after eating a pretty big meal. Drank a bunch of water and waited to see if the hungry devil would get off my shoulder. Nope, still hanging on. I’ve already had enough protein today - what do I do? Find a fat conveyance. I put 2.5T of Kerrygold butter down the middle of a couple of cabbage leaves, then put a T of mayo on for good measure. Wrap; eat. Experiment successful.


What's wrong with me?
