What Did You Eat Today?

[Geezy]

Thanks, I was shopping yesterday for cheese and I for some reason decided to read the ingredients and my the shredded cheese has added sugar and a lot of other things, I like simple but opted to buy a block and shred it myself.
 

Yes ma’am, you are correct. The main issue I had with pre shredded cheese is that it has cellulose or some other kind of fiber in it that I just don’t need. Yeah it a little bit more effort to hand shred my cheese but my health is worth it.
I’m glad to see you are reading the ingredient labels. Those can be a real eye opener and show you how much crap the food industry has been feeding us just so they can make more profit.

Those chaffles look delicious, I might have to buy a waffle maker soon. But my ninja foodie grill arrived today so I’m gonna have to get bored with that first.

Today I had a wagyu beef hamburger and scrambled eggs for breakfast. For dinner I just ate my first attempt at grilled chicken on the new grill and some slow cooked lamb, which was amazing. The grilling needs more experimenting, chicken was a bit dry.

It's also cheaper!

If you don't already have one, you may want to invest in an instant-read thermometer. The internal temp will always confirm if the meat is done or not.

That there is a bacon-wrapped, smoked venison backstrap tenderloin.

Oh! It was. It was the first one I ever cooked (smoked) let alone ever ate. It was so tender, it almost melted in my mouth.

I went to YT to find the way to smoke it and I used this recipe:

You never know how a recipe will turn out until you taste it. I scored bigtime with this one. I didn't do the glaze, though.

If it was a chicken breast, those are definitely drier than the dark meat. You have to cook it until there is no raw in the middle and then pull it immediately. Keep it on too long and it dries out.

Oh wow does that look fantastic!

This is one of my recent breakfasts...

Cheesy eggs, 2 top sirloin steaks (I had to leave one for later), and two German bratwursts.  Mmmmmmmmm!

Thanks for that link. I have plenty of backstrap to try that on.

Nothing yet, I have some ground beef, eggs and bacon, any suggestions on what to do differently with them?

How did you make the chicken?

Looks delicious and yes, how did you make it?

Wrap the ground beef with bacon.

It’s just a roast chicken from Wally World. Deboned and drowned in butter.

My next first thing to try was chaffles. Ok, I’m hooked. These thing are great.

These are on my to-do list now. Has anyone batch cooked these and stored them for later. I’m thinking fridge or freezer?  Any suggestions?

You could do a no-bun burger, with a patty on the bottom, topped with bacon, and an over-easy egg on top. The beef pattie can be used to wipe up the valuable yolk as it runs after breaking into it. Add some salt, seasoning, or cheese to taste.

Alternatively, you could make a "power bowl". Cook your bacon and break it into smaller pieces ahead of time. Chop up the ground beef like you were going to make tacos. Don't drain the beef fat but add the bacon and some eggs into the mix and start stirring it around so everything gets mixed together. Salt and season or cheese to taste.

Wrap any of the above in a large lettuce leaf and you will still be keto. Then you might be able to pick it up with your hands and add a little avacado mayo.

I personally haven't... yet. But I have only just recently started making and using chaffles. A quick web search though says they can be stored in the fridge up to 5 days, and can be frozen as well...

I like to cook a few extra so I just keep them in the fridge. They don’t last more than a few days before they get eaten. When I warm them up I put them in the toaster.

I'm a simple man, lol. A little seasoning and a sprinkle of shredded cheese and this was my breakfast.
