I agree Marshall. It does look delicious.

Great effort there Michael. Real men certainly do eat quiche" - there's nothing wrong with that at all :lol:

Hi all. I had to cook this earlier today before the daily afternoon/evening thunderstorms arrived here in Florida again. A nice 2 and a half pound sirloin tip beef roast cooked out on the charcoal grill. Well, here's whats left of it.

Plated up with homestyle mashed potatoes with some creamery butter and paprika, brown gravy, and lima beans with butter and summer savory seasoning.

I would have used shredded cheese, but I forgot to get some, and was too hungry to wait until I could get some...

I am not much of a beef eater. I grew up poor, so we just did not eat much of it. Had a taste for some sirloin, so I got some. The meat was sprinkled with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic. I sauteed the meat in a little olive until medium well. It was served with onions and jasmine rice. A very good meal. Right click the image.

Hi Refractordude and all. I ran off three very large chicken breasts from Aldi's (Kirkwood) on the charcoal grill earlier this afternoon, before the darn daily Florida rainstorms moved in here on us. I remembered to take a photo of the only one left after dinner. :lol:

Well my wife is checking up on an elderly friend this weekend leaving me ... UNSUPERVISED!!!

What to do with a load of vegetables and leftovers?

I started with this recipe - https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree ... up-3294212

I ended up with this:
Cauliflower Cheese Soup_20201003.jpg
Deviations from the recipe: extra bacon, chopped grilled chicken, sliced cremini mushrooms, no half-and-half so I reduced the chicken stock and increased the milk.

Served with the last bit focaccia from last weekend.

We don't like sage or cumin. Usually add extra garlic or some sort of vegie. Sometimes mushrooms, sometimes corn. It's a great dish to experiment with.

Taco Tuesday!
We use the Old El Paso mix.
We make it Keto.
I don’t drain the fat off the beef.
I make my taco shell out of baked cheddar cheese.

I spread out 1/4 cup on a piece of parchment paper in a circle and bake for 10 minutes. Cool, fold in shape. I put a romaine lettuce leaf on the shell before meat to prevent it from breaking, due to heat.
Leftovers are next day lunch in a low carb tortillas wrap. lunch on

Beef Stew
I started with the recipe on the back of the McCormick Beef Stew seasoning package but I made the "usual" improvisations.

swapped out the stew meat for beef chuck
I dredged the meat in the flour I'd saved from the last batch of swiss steak so it had some smoked paprika in it.
added 3-4 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce to the oil while browning the meat


For veggies I added a bag of potato medley (white, red, and purple), about 12 oz of mushrooms, two large sweet onions, and about 1/2 pound of carrots
Gave it a few good shakes of onion powder just for the heck of it.

I am alone tonight🙁. Pizza bagels.

It’s important to toast the bagels.
Fix me up like pizza. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Check and see if they need 30 seconds more.
Enjoy!
* keto bagels and low carb sauce keeps it keto

Jeff,

It is really delicious!

The pork belly fat isn't the healthiest but when eaten as a complete meal without added carbs, there's more vegetables than meat. That's my excuse! ;-)

No pics needed. We did a healthy dinner of chicken and veggies but ... I did French fries in the air fryer.

PSA: The air Fryer is worth it just for making French fries and re-heating deep dish pizza.
