What dinner meals do you make the most frequently?

Love the use-up-things-about-to-go-off meals, I did that with my slow-cooked brisket last week.

I think it’s my wife’s[1], too, after she gave us 200g EACH of it the other night.

[1] something has to replace mashed potato for her…

Bacon wrapped pork steak with zucchini or squash cooked in butter.

I’m not a fan of lots of cooking when I get home from work, so my fav dinner is just a steak thrown in the cast iron skillet. If I’m feeling really fancy, I might saute some mushrooms in the leftover grease. I rarely have vegetables at night since I usually bring a salad for lunch at work. (Tuna or chicken salad on Romaine w/cucs, grape tomatos, olives, cheese, etc.) I do occasionally force myself to add a vegetable at dinner. If I do, it’s normally Brussels sprouts or yellow squash.

I prep & lightly steam (in the microwave) a bunch of broccolini & a bunch of asparagus & keep them in the fridge for a couple of days. I can then just heat them through in the pan juices with a bit of baby spinach while my steak rests :slightly_smiling_face:

Lots of different curries (chicken/ pork/ beef) over cauliflower ‘rice.’ I also like chicken or shellfish alfredo over haricot verts. I am a big crockpot fan so I use that often. For instance tonight I had hatch green chili pork carnitas that had been cooking all day. Another frequent favorite is pot roast that has been cooking in red wine with mushrooms and garlic. I find great recipes all the time by just plugging in "_________ keto recipe" with whatever ingredient I want to use into google search.

Gigantic green leafy salad with onion plus an avacado, 6 oz of meat, 1/2 cup of olive oil and vinegar dressing with lite salt, mustard, parsly, oregano, basil etc.

I take a picture of most of these salads. I don’t know why. Below is the one I’m eating at this moment, chewing as I type.

This reminds me of Haluski. I was quite fond of it and would have it fairly regularly until I started Keto. It was either cabbage, noodles and bacon or cabbage, noodles and kielbasa.

Hmm, I guess hamburgers is my most frequent meal at dinner followed by roasted chicken. Sometimes I eat a vegetable dosed in butter. I love spaghetti squash with homemade meatballs and sauce, but don’t eat that very often. :slight_smile:
I love my eggs and bacon and have that pretty often for one of my meals.
I like to eat bone broth as often as I can too. I have some on right now.
Love steak and pork and lamb and eat those as frequently as I can afford them.

Do I need to tweak something? Update answer was Yes

Boring keto for me. I will attempt to attach screen shots of my figures for last week, which will include all my meals -

I don’t recall eating haluski, though, as you write, this seems verboten without significant modification?

And that name reminds me of one of my favorite dishes of hers, Halupkies. Delicious and fun to pronounce. We also called them “piggies in a blanket” which might have been a NE PA / USA thing, but that also refers to a distinctly different dish, elsewhere.

The "without the carbs” is a LIE, since a serving is 10 grams of total carbs. They are a tad carby, though, well worth a OMAD strategy for.

You have just given me an idea for how to modify this without the Keto police being summoned. Instead of noodles, I can just sub it for zoodles(zuchinni noodles). So saute some cabbage… then saute some kielbasa and cut that up into coins, then add it all to some zoodles with a generous dose of grass fed butter.I have yet to try zoodles so I wonder if this will all just turn to mush if cooked for very long?

Halupkies are what I know as stuffed cabbage. It was probably in my top 3 favorite dishes and I will definitely try this version with riced cauliflower sub’d out for the rice. Thanks for bringing this up!

Ground beef with bacon and cheese
Steak
Chicken with bacon and cheese
Bacon and eggs
Sometimes a shrimp salad, but I really have to be in the mood for a salad
Bunless hotdogs or kielbasa

I try new things sometimes, but I rarely like it lol. Tried zoodles Sunday. Wasn’t a fan.

(Jane) #37

How did you season them? First time I fixed them I was “meh” but then sprinkled some curry powder on the next batch plus sautéed some onion and garlic in butter and added it to the mix and loved them.

(Running from stupidity) #38

Zoodles can be good, but spiralised Daikon noodes are KILLER.

(Daisy) #39

I used Alfredo sauce and kielbasa with it. I’m just not really a big fan of zucchini, so I had a feeling I wouldn’t love it. But wanted to give it a try.

(Daisy) #40

Hmmm, I’ve never liked radishes… Maybe I’ll give it a try someday. I’m a horribly picky eater! Lol
