OMG!, cooking chili is that easy? Who knew? Even I can't screw it up. I'm not a very good cook.

Get some of this and follow directions for what we would call chili. The best thing about it is there is NO SALT ADDED.

I just made smores. Omg heaven. I put pieces of Moser Roth mint dark chocolate and gelatin-free marshmallows from Trader Joe's on cinnamon graham crackers and popped them in the microwave for about 20 seconds. I just had an orgasm in my mouth.

When you say "oxtail" is it really? How is it prepared? It sounds like local comfort food. Like in my hometown, menudo is comfort food. It's what people have in the morning after a night of drinking too much. It's kind of gross if you know what it is, but if you don't it's like soup with chucks of meat and hominy. But I love it especially if it's homemade.

It is beef tail I think. It's good. This used to be my favourite cheat meal. Today I had smoked mackerel salad and toast for dinner.

It’s actually cow tails but back in the day they used actual oxtails. Jamaicans stew it for a long time until it’s soft. A mix of tender meat and squishy fat. I’ve been to some Dominican spots and they fried it but then it’s not as soft and juicy. I had to google menudo it low key looks yummy. I’m the only weirdo that doesn’t hate tripe. Growing up it was eat what gram made or nada lol.

Day 5 of Keto Dieting. Hubby and I were fighting over the last raisin in the muesli this morning. After this, I did manage to go score a stevia sugar substitute and some coconut flour and managed to make a vanilla pound cake. Tonight's dinner was maple walnut dijon mix on salmon. I'm counting the days until my first cheat day, but I think its a week or two away.

We survived eating keto at a Mexican restaurant tonight. We had the waiter take away the chips and salsa immediately, then ordered some awesome fat-bomb fajitas (peppers cooked in butter, bacon, carne asada...the works) but without any of the usual beans/rice/wraps on the side. The waiter seemed amused at the whole spectacle, but it worked great.
Now that we know that is possible, time to tackle an Italian restaurant without cheating the keto beast.
BTW, I lost 4 lbs in a week, hubby lost 7. This bacon cleanse is working.

We tried Keto pancakes today for lunch...those weren't pancakes. Not horrible though. Our cupboard is looking the same, literally 90% of what's in our pantry is no longer useful to us. We got a pile of half-done boxes of cereal. Same with about half the freezer. We've got kids, but they want what we're eating and not anything conventional any more.

Keto chili tonight in the instant pot. Canned tomatoes, tons of chopped leeks, and stew meat, and lots and lots of pepper. With sour cream it balanced back out and worked awesome.

Went to Cracker Barrel yesterday and had breakfast for dinner and even had a dessert. A smores pie something, I forget the name of it. It was so good!!!
I've been too relaxed about my diet, I must be okay with myself. I'm not even going to punish myself for being weak.

Did you make the coconut milk ice cream? I just ordered an ice cream maker off Amazon specifically to make vegan ice cream. I bought 4 big cans of coconut milk today (2 light and 2 "extra creamy" from the Spanish grocery store I just discovered).
On a separate note, I ate some cheese today that was left over from super bowl and my stomach is super hard and distended (been Vegan for awhile and regret it ALOT)
I have been fasting so hard that I got lightheaded and ate the cheese like a dummy instead of, say an apple...

Carb free pancakes (we call 'em "poopcakes") consisting of flax seed and eggs fried in coconut oil, topped with real butter and fake sugar-free syrup, served with very real thick-sliced smoked bacon. We're getting the hang of this keto thing.
20 lbs gone in 30 days off the hubby, but I seem to have hit the plateau for weight loss. I did drop 3 sizes though and have a lot more energy now, so there's that.

omelette with green pepper, onion, spinach, mushrooms, and cheese, raspberry Greek yogurt, and Italian wedding soup so far. Water all day but at this point I'm getting so tired of drinking water because that's what I drink all the time. I'm going to buy some sparkling water.
