HAHAHA!!! I’m concerned about not having enough of it.
What did you Keto today?

@rustyk61, I get the impression that you like jalapenos!

I thought my mom was the only one 
With everything fatty where it isn’t hidden actually .
My reaction: Are you insane? Don’t throw that delicious fat part of your steak out! * stick out my own plate towards her with sparkly eyes *

Polished off my coleslaw yesterday…like that vinaigrette dressing for it. Also had another healthy greens salad, then used up some of the crispy bacon I keep in the freezer for these:
(yes, the not-so-secret-ingredient is BACON!!)
Then had some pork chops (they’re not pretty enough to be picture worthy)
Oh…for those interested. The latest jicama experiment the other day. These are one DAMN stubborn root vegetable!! They REALLY don’t want to tenderize worth a damn! I put 1.6kg (3.5lbs) of jicama, in a salt brine into my sous vide - the temp of the bath at the time was 145F - so the time it took the bath to get up to 194F, along with another hour at that temperature - and you would think (other than some yellowness on the outside of the jicama and some yellowing of the water) that they hadn’t been cooked AT ALL!!
Yep…super, dooper stubborn they are! Going to take a lot of baking / boiling to get these buggers to potato softness. I’ll keep at it!!!

Thanks for experimenting. French fries are my most missed “carby” food. Please keep reporting!

Honestly, I’m thinking turnip (not rutabaga - though, at least up here, that’s what people think of when they think of turnip) may be the winner from a french fry standpoint.
I will give those baked jicama fries recipes a try, but I won’t be doing any more deep fried experiments (my liver doesn’t like them…still trying to heal my fatty liver - it swells every time I eat something deep fried). 
Turnip fries are pretty damn awesome. Think I’ll try a baked turnip fry version in a bit, after I get through trying to turn the jicama I have from the brine experiment into potato-like creations.
Edit: The jicama I have is still in the bags of brine from the sous vide (currently in a crisper drawer in the fridge). Think the next experiment will be sticking them back in the sous vide at 194F…and seeing just how many hours it takes to get them cooked!!! (yes, I WILL prove that I can be more stubborn than a root vegetable!!!)

You know, his 90-second bread was the first keto bread I ever tried, but I haven’t explored his recipes much after that. I need to go visit again.

Hello all. My first Keto post. This was my breakfast today. Two turkey breakfast sausages, 1 egg, spinach with a couple strawberry slices. Also some green goddess dressing (not pictured). It’s 2:40 and I’m just starting to get a bit hungry. Not bad at all!
Edited to add: I also had an iced coffee with sweeter and hwc.

Just to close the loop on the “Guinness topic” mentioned early when discussing the BBQ sauce for ribs - and how much carbs they have…and if the Guinness company has licensed their flavour to anyone to have a low carb extract for cooking.
Well, they haven’t - but the customer service person I was talking to is going to send it up to their leadership as low carb diets are becoming so popular.
She DID also correct me that the macros I have for Guinness are wrong.
The correct macros (for Guinness in a can). I’d suspect the on tap Guinness may be the same - but she said the bottled Guinness is different - didn’t say how though.
Guinness draught in a can’s macro’s:
Serving Size: 100ml (about 3.4 oz)
Calories /serving: 36
Carbohydrates (g/serving): 3
Protein (g/serving): 0.3
It’s actually lower that what I had. What I had found online suggested that 500ml of Guinness was 18g of carbs, but it’s only 15.

Wes made some turnip fries in an air fryer on his YouTube channel Highfalutin’ Low Carb. He had posted another video where he compared 4 different vegetables (rutabaga, turnip, jicama & zucchini). He wasn’t very impressed with any of them.
Later, he reviewed an air fryer and made turnip fries in it and he seemed genuinely impressed. For the first time ever, I’m seriously considering an air fryer just to make fries.

Love the sushi! My youngest always wants sushi, and I never did even before keto. I can get behind this, though! Yum!

Leftover hamburger and turkey breakfast sausage with cauliflower and my first ever (very basic) cheese sauce. The angle of the pic makes it look like a lot more cauliflower than it was.
