Thanks! My SJs recipe:

1lb ground beef
1 diced onion
1 can tomato paste
Worcestershire
BBQ sauce
Dijon
Ketchup
Chili powder
Paprika
Red pepper flakes

 

I'm working on cutting back on the carbs again and had some peppers that needed to be used up so I grilled up some fajitas. 30-something degrees outside but at least I didn't run out of gas this time.



And since Costco didn't have my go-to stand in for tortillas, Butterhead lettuce, and I didn't feel like going anywhere else to find some, it was eaten naked with some cheese, sour cream and Spicy Ranchero sauce.

 

Ravioli, sprouts, bacon in a butter lemon zest costing. Dusted with parm.

 

This is one I wrote down from watching the show “America’s Test Kitchen”.
The baking soda changes the PH level and does some other chemical thing that I can’t remember???

 

Never heard of it with baking soda

 

Me either?
I’ve used that recipe 2-3 times, it’s a good one!!!
I know the baking soda increases the browning potential of the onions and meat, and I think decreases the acidity of the tomato paste but beyond that...

 

Sounds good. Now if i can get my wife to agree to it...lol

 

Morning
Blueberry Muffins sounded good...but How to do it low carb.
Well here it is 6-7 carbs but awesome went well with a good cup of coffee.

 

Omelet with leftover ham steak, scalloped taters, and cheese.

 

Pressure cooker butter chicken with cauliflower rice. Cauliflower was seasoned with the same spices that went into the butter chicken.



Definitely making it again. Just a touch less cayenne in the cauliflower.

 

I was feeling lazy and did a slightly jazzed up breakfast sandwich for dinner.
Sunny side egg, with some shaved mortadella, melted some smoked cheese on the meat while I had it in the pan with the egg, threw some caramelized onions in with it all between the 2 last pieces of bread I had lol. But I think what killed it was this mayo/maple sauce I quickly made up . Kinda basic, but
Fing delicious!

 

kudos on eating the Heel-Sandwich!!

 

Lol like I said my last 2 pieces, usually I turn the heel into croutons or something but I did what I had to lol.

 

Son is on his way home to Hawaii where he works for the Air Force. New COVID restrictions closed all indoor seating. So I brought him home and made him a good breakfast. Not low carb but not too high either

 

Legit home cooked meal! Thank him for his service!

 

...^^^... Thats is exactly the way I like my bacon too (super crispy and crunchy) .... so hard to get it that crispy/crunchy when I eat out too.

That breakfast looks fantastic .. .. I could eat breakfast like that for almost every meal ...

Gravy looks good too ...

PS ... The best to your son in the USAF ...

 

Me too. I always cooked bacon on the stove in a CI pan and I was never that happy with the results. A roomie in college cooked it on the sheet pan in the oven... *Mind blown* Flat and perfect bacon every time and you can cook it to any done-ness you want. I typically cook it just under and freeze it. I cook it in ~10lb batches to reduce the mess and number of times a year I have to do it and just re-heat/finish it off in the microwave.

Also, on making a mess... The one thing I do differently is I actually use a disposable foil pan and cook it on my grill. All the mess is outside and I don't have to deal with cleanup. It's also way easier to save the grease to put in the fridge. Yes, of course I have a jar of bacon grease in my fridge, why doesn't everyone?

 

Albondigas.

 

I made real bacon last week. My grease jar sits on the counter but agreed, if you don't have a jar, you aren't living.

 

Wow looks great!
