Low Carb/Keto Recipe Thread

I made hamburgers last night. I put Swiss cheese in the middle of the burgers and made buns from a book I got, called Keto For Carb Lovers. The bun was just Meh. It was crumbly. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

tonight I made lasagna from the book and it was darn good. I will make it again.

I was wondering what to do with the leftover buns. DH toasted one for his breakfast this morning, he wasn't impressed. I made home made pimento cheese spread today and we toasted halves of a bun and put the pimento cheese spread on it. The pimento cheese sure improved that bun!

After we finish these up, I'll make your 90 second microwave bread. I want to make the cloud bread too.

Pimento Cheese
1 pound cheese ( I usually use a sharp cheddar, today I used Pepper Jack)
1 8 ounce cream cheese
Jar diced pimentos
1/4 to 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, to taste

Soften the cream cheese in the microwave. Grate the cheese and add to the cream cheese. Dump in the pimento and mayonnaise, stir well.

I made this to eat with celery for snacks. Or you can improve failed bread with it. LOL

Keto Tacos tonight. No pkg mix- we just add our favorite Mexican spices to ground beef.

We love those multi- colored mini sweet peppers and use them for lots of things. Stuff some meat in there, top with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped cilantro. The peppers give you that taco shell crunch and they’re low carb- roughly 5 carbs in 3 peppers. Yum!

A local Mexican eatery makes something very similar but with a big roasted poblano pepper. They call it a relleno de enchilada. Similar to a chili relleno, but larger & stuffed with all kinds of Mexican goodness. They are not fiery, but are still among our favorites to order.

I'm looking forward to the recipe. I have one that uses cauliflower but haven't tried it yet before posting it. If yours is that good I won't have to.

How about the fasting...no eating between 8 PM and 11 AM? Do you follow that rule? I usually stay up til midnight so if I eat at 6 I can be pretty hungry by midnight and wake up at 7 starving. I need to go do chores and get on with the day and I have a hard time skipping breakfast...and my coffee.
