What dinner meals do you make the most frequently?

#1

Lamb or Chicken Curry

Cacciatore

Oven “Fried” Chicken

Bacon Cheeseburgers/Steak in cast iron skillet

Salad with meat, nuts, cucumbers, avocado, egg, bacon, cheese, etc. with ACV/olive oil or blue cheese

#2

Eggs, bacon and/or sausage.

Meat (various kinds), cheese and pickles.

I like to keep it simple.
The less I have to think about it, the happier I am. :wink:

#3

I like to keep it simple too. Love to have breakfast for dinner since I skip breakfast everyday. Meat cheese and pickles are my go to snacks but I like a warm meal for dinner usually especially in fall and winter.

#4

Yeah, I’m curious to see how I’ll be tempted to change it up this winter.

  1. Bacon bowl: Butter, onion powder, garlic powder, butter, eggy melted cheddar, butter, bacon, butter, cream cheese, butter, avocado OR black olives (have to draw the fat line somewhere :smile: )
  2. Keto creamed spinach. Bowl. :smile:

Either of those plus BPT (Bullet Proof decaf Tea) equal my OMAD.

  1. Steak + other stuff that isn’t steak. Although I’ve been known to have steak + steak.

  1. Chicken Korma
#7

Eggs at least twice a week (scrambled, omelette, quiche etc…)
Sardines/Salmon twice a week
Otherwise - meat & salad or salad & meat :slightly_smiling_face:

I always have salad veg prepped in the fridge so all I need do is add some toasted pine nuts or grated cheese or crispy bacon & voila - we’re eating our greens.

I do make curries, soups etc for the freezer as my husband is a 3 meals a day guy.

#8

That’s my kind of planning. :grinning:

#9

Saves thinking :grin:

Paprika baked chicken thighs
Frittatas w/ sausage or bacon, spinach, boursin or cheddar
Tuna egg salad w/ celery
Deviled eggs
Salad with spinach, nuts and avocado
Omelettes galore
Salmon burgers

By the looks of this thread so far, chickens must really hate Keto. :egg:

Either Cabbage and Sausage soup which is easy to make for the week or fatty meat and veg. Typically a pork chop or steak with Broccoli or Brussels Sprouts or creamed spinach. If I’m out of ideas just some bacon and eggs.

#12

Pizza bowl
Deviled Eggs
Bacon
Wings

Ground pork (microwaved with tomato sauce).
Italian sausage (microwaved).
Flax muffins (microwaved).

Canned mackerel, mayo.
A piece of cheese.
Pork rinds.

#14

Omelette with bacon or kimchi + cheese
Oven grilled / pan fried beef patties + cheese

(Michelle) #17

Asian stir fry (cabbage, whatever veggies need to be used up, bits of leftover chicken thighs, egg, all sautéed together in butter with some soy sauce and a little sesame oil for Asian flavor)

Meat (chicken, steak, or pork) with buttery sautéed mushrooms on top, a bag of microwave steamed veggies with butter on top.

Keto chili with sour cream and cheese

Cabbage steamed with a little water with cut up kielbasa in it.

Cabbage is my keto comfort food.

(less is more, more or less) #18

My Eastern European grandmoms bow in your direction.

When I was little, I’d visit my Hungarian grandma. “Let me make you something.” She’d take a several sticks of butter, melt them in mild heat, and place a full head of de-stemmed cabbage and cook it until soft.

OMG, said my teenaged brain.

Back then, the late 70’s (around the McGovern report, I know realize) we were told that this was poison, but boy was that poison delicious.

#19

Here’s my system:
On Friday, I pick out 3 recipes and do the shopping for them at Saturday’s farmer’s market. I make sufficient quantity that each meal lasts for 2 dinners. So I only cook every other day.

I like casseroles because they’re all-in-one dishes that incorporate meat and veggies, there’s a lot of variety, and it’s easy to make substitutions. To optimize nutrition, I intentionally rotate through numerous vegetables.

I’m on week 5 and still trying a new thing most nights.

So thanks for all of the ideas everyone!
