What did you Keto today?

[Ernest]

Steak n yolks.

0.5 carb tortilla with spinach, cheddar, jalapenos, and fajita shredded chicken with roasted red pepper.

I’m too lazy to make 0.5carb tortillas - I assume you made them? - I use 3-4carb commercial “low carb” tortillas… but the result is similar - and so damn fast!!

They are made before I could even decide what to order from Papa John’s (my ex-surrogate father)

[Capnbob]

Inquiring minds want to know… why yolks?

Did you use the whites on keto meringues to make (K)Eton Mess in honor of the royal wedding?

[Jody22]

Sorry if you already posted it (I didn’t see it) … but could you provide the recipe for that blue cheese sauce?

[fischersd]

Certainly! (it was real simple, but turned out so good!!)

The Au Jus from cooking 2 quarter chickens sous vide for 2 hours (didn’t calculate nutrition for this - it’s only good fats, so meh)
100g of Castello Extra Creamy Danish Blue Cheese - 432 calories, 42g Fat, 0.5g Carbs, 14g Protein, 630mg Sodium
60g of Mozzarella (Cracker Barrel) - 200 Calories, 16g Fat, 0g Carbs, 14g Protein, 480mg Sodium
2T Butter - 204 calories, 23g Fat, 0 Carbs, 0.2g Protein, 4mg Sodium, 6mg Potassium
1/2 tsp xanthan gum - 5 calories, 58mg Sodium
Total (less au jus) - 841 calories, 81g Fat, 0.5g Carbs, 28.2g Protein, 1162mg Sodium, 6mg Potassium

Used half of that on the steak.

And, yes, a wedge of Castello is 125g…I did polish it off while cooking…guilty. It was too little to send it back into the fridge all by itself!

Edit: I’m sure you could substitute about 1/2-3/4 cup of chicken stock and a bit more butter to have a similar fat content / flavouring if you don’t do the chickens up first. (next time I’ll measure the au jus so I can have complete nutrition) Well…either that or I’ll make it with chicken stock next time so I know how much it would take.

Real benefit of eggs are in the yolks. The fat, nutrients, real egg taste etc.
Didn’t need the extra protein from the whites.

[hedleylo]

Mason jar eggs. This has become a work lunch staple. Super tasty.

[FueledbyFat]

Steak warmed up in ghee, avocado, olives, homemade Caesar dressing, salad mix. Definitely not a food photographer but it was good.

Forgive my double post from the smokers thread… It was too good to not share. Spare ribs bathed in smoke. Rib rub and sauce made with sukrin gold.

where do you find the .5 tortillas? haven’t been able to find any locally or a recipe that’s easy enough to do Yet)

Almost zero carb wraps
Found on Pinterest

[fischersd]

She actually has multiple recipes - which tortillas did you make?

[sommer_strickland]

The one that specifically said almost zero carb wraps. May be easier to find on Pinterest.

Sorry left out words “low carb”.

I would go with less eggy version and I added a bunch of seasonings too!

Sous vide chuck

[fischersd]

Ok, found it.

Heh…already had that recipe in my Paprika app - just haven’t made them yet! (should do that for my OMAD - then I could make my breakfast burritos again!!! )

[Baytowvin]

Good god man, that looks amazing

[eo4wellness]

LOL at myself! New milestone for me. When it came to “dinner” tonight, I had a wickely good craving for BUTTER (reminded me of elementary history class–why did the Pilgrims tote butter on those small ships!!!) so I enjoyed some sliced angus beef & cheese atop a heavily buttered (YUM) lettuce wraps! I have never in my life before now ever craved butter (or any other fat).

[sommer_strickland]

They were pretty good. I added Mrs dash Southwest Chipotle seasoning.

[fischersd]

Nice!! Have a couple hot sauces I haven’t tried on them yet. Heh. That may be my OMAD one day this weekend. Hmm. I think I’m out of ground sausage though…grocery trip!!
