What did you Keto today?


(Jane) #8198

I plugged in the ingredients and it calculated about 1.5 g carb per cracker. I ended up with a little over 50 small crackers from that recipe.

Does this sound right to you? The program I used doesn’t show the fiber gems so maybe the net carbs are lower.

I’ll try to find another program to re-calculate. I liked the taste of these crackers!

Edited to add: net carbs 0.63 per cracker so 6.2 for 10, or 3 for 5 crackers. I can live with that!

About to go medieval on this beef!!

Smoked some BBQ pork loin wrapped in pork belly (porchetta) for a dinner with keto friends. Tasted really good. Possibly too fatty for one friend, but there is no such thing as too fatty for me!

Creamy Cucumber Salad - delish!
My Hubby asked for a creamy cucumber salad we ate in our carby days at local supper clubs, I’m surprised how easy it was to ketofy

This is a variant off of something I had at a Spanish Restaurant in the Tampa FL area recently. Half an avocado stuffed with crab meat sauteed in a butter/garlic sauce and topped with shrimp cooked scampi style.

The original I ordered was topped with a remoulade sauce … and I think I preferred that to my creation. I had cooked up some shrimp scampi for my first go at scampi using shirataki noodles and didn’t have all the ingredients … or the inclination to try and make a remoulade sauce.

Nobody complained.

Working on making the most of mushrooms. Cooking the bacon on the pellet grill is amazing. Mushrooms got some smoke and the bacon drippings. Did a two stage cook, with the finish on the high heat gas grill.

These were great with lamb chops and phenomenal on wife’s burger. But will post a process when I have it nailed. I wanna get it nailed, and then get some morels for the process.

Smoked belly n eggs. Leftover Hollandaise sauce reheating experiment.


(Sophie) #8205

What was the experiment? I’ve found that reheating Hollandaise/Bearnaise Sauce to be very forgiving. I usually just float a container in my SV for a few and give it a stir. Done.

90 second savory bread.
15g ghee, 21g almond flour, .5 tsp baking powder, 1 egg, 1/2 tbls olive oil, salt and other seasonings to taste.


Cook bacon and pour over bread.

Cook beef, pour over…including grease/liquid fat.

Add over easy eggs cooked in butter. Pour in butter.

Bread soaked up all the goodness.

I still have trouble not automatically thinking, “OMG We’re going to kill ourselves with all this fat!” :\


#8208

Mixed bag tonight:
Beef liver sauteed in ghee (I think I can handle it cooked this way)
Leftover oxtails
Leftover ribs

First meal of the day so maybe that’s why the liver tasted so good. :thinking:


(Lonnie Hedley) #8209

If that’s true I’m going to die skinny, with mental clarity, and energetic.


(Lonnie Hedley) #8210

Out of chocolate, so this is a different 90 second bread dessert.
Same weights as the ingredients above (almond flour, ghee, egg). Then 40g erythritol, 7g cacao nibs, splash vanilla.



(Justin Jordan) #8211

Are those mug breads good? I’m thinking of taking a stab at making one.


(Lonnie Hedley) #8212

I think they are. Especially if you experiment a little. They can be savory or sweet.

Basic recipe I use is 21g almond flour, 3tsp (15g ghee) or 1tbls butter, 1 egg, and .5tsp baking powder.

Experiment with other ingredients. If I add more dry powders (cacao, pb), I’ll add some olive oil to keep it moist.

Here are some recent examples.


(Justin Jordan) #8213

Thanks! I’m going to give it a try some time soon. I like meat, but sometimes I want…not meat.


(Aimee Moisa) #8214

I believe it! :slight_smile:


(Ernest) #8215

That’s exactly that I was experimenting. I left one jar in 131 degrees hot tub time machine for…24 hours. Sauce was fine.
Reheated another jar in the hot tub time machine for 2 hours. Sauce didn’t break.


(Ernest) #8216

Smoked beef omelet/omelette. Gave it a hollandaise sauce treatment for good measure.


(Sophie) #8217

I floated mine in a plastic container w/lid for about 30mins @135f without any issue. Never a break. Life is sweet! :smile:
