A slight variation on a theme… pork loin chop (over trimmed but what can you do), fried sprouts, a splash of hot sauce and sugar-free BBQ sauce.
What did you Keto today?
I was messing around with a biscuit recipe and made it in pan. I was really happy with the result. It was airy and could be sliced and buttered.
Tom Kha Kai. A spicy and sour soup with chicken, shrimp, fish, all the low-carb veggies, moderate coconut milk and super-fatty chicken stock.
I said I’d mention how I made this. Sorry, no recipe, so I’ll have to tell it in story form
I was literally walking the aisle in Walmart looking for something fatty. Our family was invited over to dinner where each family was bringing a lasagna – and trust me, they were looking yummy! I knew we wouldn’t be able to partake, so we tried to go with some fat already in our tummies.
The beef-back ribs were marked down and looking fatty and it was something different. I separated each rib with a sharp knife so I could fit them into my marinade bag. Marinade was soy sauce (carby, but most was poured off), apple cider vinegar (why not?), heavy garlic, ginger root and red pepper paste (I like the heat).
The next morning I removed them from the marinade and discarded it. I wrapped the ribs in heavy tin foil and placed them in on a cake pan. In to the oven at 220 ℉ for 6 or 7 hours. In hindsight I’d have only done 5 hours. They might have been too tender.
I pulled them out and placed them onto the plate they were served on (seen above). Back in the oven it went – I was actually trying to dry them out a bit. This wasn’t for long, maybe for 20 minutes or so while I prepped the sauce.
I took all the drippings (lots of rendered fat and pretty flavorful since the strong marinade) and reduced them in a sauce pan. I threw fresh Cremini mushrooms in while the juices were cooking down. Once it started getting thick, I added a little xanthan gum just to pull it together. I pulled the mushrooms out and added them to the plate. I added Erythritol – maybe 2 heaping table spoons. After a few more minutes of cooking it down, I poured it over the plate.
I took a picture.
We ate them down.
The END!
I thought Monday was going to be OMAD but for some reason I got really hungry at night. No stress, I never plan my fasting. So I went in the refrigerator… found a vacuum packed bag of chicken gizzards. Already cooked sous vide.
Are those leftover meatballs? COOL!!
OH LOOK BACON…Get out of my way…
BOOM!!
Made an offal lot of sausages today.
Pun indended

Gonna fry up the left over as patties and freeze the links for later. Maybe I’ll fry up a chorrizo out of curiosity…

I make a cole slaw with cabbage, green onion, and one carrot; salt, pepper, mayonnaise… that’s it.
Hmmmmm. I just realized that this looks surprisingly like the meal I posted yesterday. Probably has something to do with putting it in the same dish, the rest of my “zoodles” going in it, and the main ingredient being ground beef instead of the sausage I used yesterday.
Today I threw in some garlic, cheddar and mozzarella. It was equally yummy. I had some pork rinds with it as well.
PS: Have discovered that life is easier for me when I cook for myself and eat in the late afternoon, then cook for and feed my husband later on in the evening. I finish my eating earlier in the day (which I like) plus I’m not the slightest bit hungry or interested while he eats his carb-laden dinner. Still working on getting him to join me on this journey…
The sausage look Amazing!!! Where in the world do you get your casings? I’m in a wasteland for butchers here, among other things.
If at first you don’t succeed, try try again. I was just sick of hard boiled and was running late so before leaving the house I cracked 4 eggs and 2 tbls HWC into a mason jar and crossed my fingers. Next time I’ll increase the size of the mason jar.
Last meal before going back to carnivore for a while. Jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and wrapped in bacon.
My local butcher actually… All the sales people know my name by now… Always linked to weird requests
I heard you can buy the salted and dried stuff online though (which is really hard to get here in Switzerland)
