Dinners: Cauliflower Potage

So simple, yet SO good.
Ingredients:

Cauliflower (Can be frozen, can also be mixed with broccoli)
Chicken Stock ( Canned or made yourself.)
Heavy Whipping Cream
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Optional:
Garlic
Onion Powder
Butter
La Costa Sliced Jalapenos with Carrots (Canned)

Have a slow cooker or a pressure cooker, or… hell, a big pot? Good.
Throw a bag of cauliflower, a can or two of chicken stock, and 1 whole small carton of heavy whipping cream in there.

Then add some garlic, onion powder, and 2 Tablespoons of butter.

Next, drain the sliced jalapenos and carrots, and then throw them in there as well. (Leave out to make a non-slighty-spicy version.)
Pressure cooker: High for 15 Minutes.
Slow Cooker: High for 2 Hours.
A Big Pot: Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes, or until cauliflower is cooked.

I garnished with cilantro. Mmmmmm…..

 

 

 

Snacks: Achiote Cream Cheese Dip

Ingredients:
Sazon Goya brand Con Culantro y Achiote
Garlic
Onion Powder
Cream Cheese
Ranch Dip Packet
Sour Cream
-Cheese Chips made with the same method mentioned here, only left to harden flat. : https://forkfacerepeat.wordpress.com/2014/05/16/dinners-keto-tacos/

Firstly, make yourself some ranch dip with your packet and your sour cream. Make out about a 1/2 cup, and put the rest away for another day.

Mix 1 block of Cream Cheese, 1/2 a packet of Achiote, your seasonings (just not TOO much), and your 1/2 cup of Ranch dip.
(Pictured is double the recipe.)
Either use a food processor, or work your arm until it hurts badly, either method works fine.

Serve cold once it’s a nice thick cohesive dip.

 

 

 

 

 

Lunches: Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients for the egg salad:
6 Hard Boiled Eggs
1/2 Cup Mayo (More if needed)
1 Tablespoon Heavy Cream
1/2 Tablespoon White Vinegar
Chopped celery, red onion, carrots
Grated Cheddar Cheese (I would add this to-taste next time. They were good the way they were, but could have used a bit more “bite”.)

I did the laziest thing possible and just put them onto some beds of lettuce. Mmmm veggies~!
Those eggs are really filling!

 

 

 

 

Dinners: Salmon Keto Tacos

I used parmesan for these shells. Parmesan WANTS to burn, and it wants to burn fast. I highly recommend using this recipe for the shells instead:

Dinners: Backyard Barbeque

Nothing beats late Spring / early Summer backyard barbeques. Nearly everything is keto-friendly.
Here I’ve snagged some beef ribs, sliced pork, shredded bbq pork, deviled eggs, and salad.
Oh man. Love it. I was a hog in heaven, I’ll tell you what.

 

 

 

Exercise: Weight Lifting

Weight Lifting and Keto go together like deli meats and cheeses.
The morning after a circuit on the free weights and the machines, 30 seconds for each exercise, as heavy as I could lift, I lost 2 pounds.
And kept it off. It wasn’t just water, which was amazing.

As you can see, I’m still pretty weak. But I can’t wait to go back for more~!
