What did you Keto today?


(Amy Ramadan) #8920

Others a great idea making them into a wrap!!! I like the way you think!! And a cheese steak wrap would be amazing!!!


#8921

Yep, I think a hot steak and cheese with some fried onions makes a nice wrap indeed! :smile:


#8922

@Janie That looks wonderful. I love our sous vide! Never thought about making cheese though. May have to check that out. :thinking:

Bacon (in the bottom), goats cheese, mushrooms, spinach, and red pepper egg muffins.
Really simple. Mixed all the ingredients with 6 eggs. Divide into tins and bake on about 175c for 20 mins. Finnish with some sliced avacado on top, or even some grated cheesešŸ˜‰

A few weeks ago we started shopping in the Ft Bragg commissary again. We just couldn’t find what we wanted at Sams club, Walmart or food lion, et al, without making a special order.

By pure happenstance I saw a pork belly! It had been nearly 12 years since I had last had any pork belly. Which is odd, seeing as the wife is Korean, and doesn’t care much for American style foods. But she doesn’t care for pork much either. As it turns out pork belly is also extremely expensive in Korea. But we’re in North Carolina :cowboy_hat_face:.

I stood there looking at it all googly eyed until she said ā€œok, get itā€.

16 pounds. $35. And worth every penny. I cut it into 8 pieces. And it didn’t last a week. I was the only one eating it. She asked how many calories it had, and she nearly had a fit when I looked it up. I was a bit shocked as well, over 3,000 calories for each piece they way made them. Yes, she’s still stuck on CICO. But she is trying keto, and really getting bummed that she isn’t losing weight like I did. But there’s reasons for that, that she doesn’t agree wi H me in. But she will once she see’s I’m eating over 3,000 a day and losing weight while she is eating 1,000 a day and holding fast.

@Robert_Johnson

How did you cook your pork belly? I have some I didn’t cure and want to roast it so the skin side is nice and crispy.

Lunch was ham, very cheesy cauli-mash, and avocado sprinkled with Everything but the Bagel seasoning.
I had the same thing last night and it was so satisfying, I had it again today.

Yum!

A lamb steak cooked in olive oil and a sauce made from the cooking juices, feta cheese, some chopped preserved lemon and a little salty juice from the lemon jar.

I cut through the skin down into the fat, hence the squares. I did a short marinade on it, maybe an hour, using about half cup ACV, olive oil, maybe a teaspoon soy sauce, some minced garlic, lots of salt (2 teaspoons maybe) some adobo powder (maybe a teaspoon), about a 1/4 cup of dry pepper flakes.

Marinated meat down. Spooned marinade on top and forced the salt and pepper flakes into the slices between the fat. Let it sit for a while.

Used a very hot iron pan and put it in skin side down for about 3 minutes or so. Just until the skin got a nice browning. Turned the heat down to medium and flipped it over. Let it dear a bit. Checking about every minute, I didn’t want it to burn, but it will get a good seat in that first minute as the pan should have a lot of fat rendered out.

I like to balance the slab of belly on its side to sear the edges too. I don’t think you need to, but it gives it a nice look.

Pre-slicing through to the fat also makes it very easy to cut once cooked. Like cutting through the fatty part of a steak. Trying to cut through the skin can be dangerous if your knives aren’t sharp enough.

That was my lunch today. I was well satiated after maybe 90% of it. I did make a slightly larger piece than I usually do. That picture if after removing to rows of cubes in the center to check for doneness.

I tend to eat my pork slightly on the pink side. I know I’m walking a thin line there, but I honestly think that cook till all the pink is gone is a little overkill. I don’t know about internal temp to make it safe, I just cook it until I think it’s good. But I would suggest getting it done within what makes you comfortably safe.

Pork belly bossam- what?!?


(Lonnie Hedley) #8931


Another day, another bowl of fat.


(TJ Borden) #8932

And a delicious looking bowl of fat it is


(Ernest) #8933

My OMAD lunch, duck eggs and beef kidneys. Done for the day


(Mike W.) #8934

Pan fried pork belly over sautƩed Brussels with a creamy Marsala pan sauce.


#8935

The other half of my ribeye from last night. Heated it up and ate it all, including all the lovely fat. The ribeye was just shy of 1# so I cut it in half, about 7 oz each. :smiley:


(TJ Borden) #8936

Meatloaf with 3lbs of 73/27 ground beef and a pound of homemade bacon. I couldn’t find my loaf pan, so I did it in a casserole dish. It didn’t come out of the pan pretty, but it tasted good.

This little guy is waiting for a bite


#8937

Looks really good! So did you give him any? :wink:


#8938

Man, If you could have seen little images of bacon in his eyes, that image would be killer! :smile: He almost looks like he’s silently thinking, mmmm, bacon…


(Ashley) #8939

He’s too cute! He better of got a few bites :slight_smile:
