My boyfriend received that in the mail yesterday and I was given a direct order than once we move I'm going to be making it. I'm not to keen on cooked veggies but I'm willing to try it at least once. If one of the other members tries it before I get a chance please post how it turned out.

I have done soup like that often and really like it but for anyone planning their carbs I broke this one down and it comes out to around 21 grams of carbs per 1 cup serving.

I guess the fish tacos I had last night won't qualify either, but they were heads above any others I've ever had.

GB - go ahead and post anything. If it's good it doesn't have to be low carb. I don't know that everyone reading these are totally strict and if it does matter, they can figure the numbers into their totals.

I have a loaf of keto bread in the oven that should be done in a bit. If it works I'll post the recipe.

I made the bread mentioned above and it turned out ok following the recipe but if I make it again, I will add garlic salt and probably some herbs as it is bland (like bread is expected to be I guess). It has a bread like texture and would work great with pasta sauce and would work well to sop up gravies and that sort of thing. We will keep using the flat bread recipe I posted early in the thread for sandwiches as it works well.

If you’re following a keto diet, this keto bread recipe is definitely a must-know! It’s also a Paleo bread recipe and a gluten-free bread recipe. But even if you’re not following any of these diets, I think you’ll want to give this bread a try because it’s not only healthy, but absolutely delicious and easy to make at home.

No, yall are doing good here with your recipes and efforts.
I did cut carbs back beginning in early 2017 I think it was..may have been 2016, but did so under tutelage from a great diabetes nutritionist at the regional hospital I use (Kingwood Tx) . She lives about 4 miles upriver from me, and tho we had never met, she knows my property, it's history, watched the transformation from forest to farmland, and operation as she's been driving by here every day going to work for 20+ years. She stressed portion control and "You can have some carbs, in fact you need them with your lifestyle of work, but you have to burn them. EXERCISE Don..get out there and walk your place, walk the whole fenceline everyday and ride those bikes!"
I have just as much admiration, gratitude, and respect for her as I do my cardiologist and the surgeon that did my quad bypass in Oct '15.

And the fish tacos were at a new Mexican seafood place that just opened here. They were good because they were so simple..and used flavors instead of fillers.
Every fish taco I've ever had before, was stuffed full of all kinds of crap....sour cream, lettuce, cabbage, olives, salsa, and a fish patty inside 2 regular size soft corn shells. Needed 2 to keep it from falling apart from all the liquid. They were hugely fat messy dripping things. They were pretty good, in a burrito kind of way..but just TOO busy if you know what I mean.

The new place used only a little white colored sauce down the bottom inside only one really thin shell, followed by a little thin dribble of some kind of tamarind & mango sauce or paste, then a patty of grilled tilapia, surrounded only by very thinly shreds of carrots, cabbage and onion...angel hair pasta thin. A perfect meld and blend of flavors without all the other stuff. The tamarind really brought it alive. I choose caldo and coleslaw for sides.

A friend gave us some venison hot dogs and sausage and I decided I wanted a hot dog on bread this morning. Since we fed all of our bread and buns to the chickens I experimented some. I mixed 4 egg whites with 1 tbs of cream cheese and 4 tbs of almond flour. I added some garlic salt and honey and this is what I came up with. The long bun critters were done in the oven at 350 till firm, the tortilla critter was done on the stove top.

These are simple but tasty and the dogs are loving the cooked egg yokes they are getting.

Myfitnesspal

I'm glad I'm not a betting man because I would have bet that the Myfitnesspal app would not have venison hot dogs or Hot Venison Sausage Stick in their data base but it did. So far I haven't found a single item that I had any trouble getting into the data.

Thank you again for letting us on to that one.

Back when I 1st started using myfitnesspal (hmm . . . 2013?) It was sadly lacking in food options. I am really pleased with it now. Although, since data is mostly input by members it can sometimes be wrong.

I was just trying to input a creamy cauliflower recipe I found and one of the listings for 1 oz of cauliflower was 21500 calories! So I checked another site. Turns out it was 21.500 calories. Someone left out the decimal.

Since our local raw milk is almost 5% butterfat, I tried the only option, a listing for 5% buffalo milk - all zeros for all the pertinent numbers. So, when I have some time, I will do some research & fill in the numbers.

Although, it does say raw goat milk is 10g of fat & 11g of carbs, which is higher than 4% whole ciw milk. So, I'm gyessing 5% buffalo milk and owr local Jersey raw milk would be close to raw goat milk.

The site is way off on a lot of things but I can see why. Teresa eats plain oatmeal with a bit of honey and the site shows some silly number of carbs and fat. It looks like a lot of their foods like oatmeal in this case, was put in by somebody who used butter and milk in their oatmeal and it does come out to that total. I input a meal I had done with lamb and it showed up with enough sodium to be over my weekly goal with that one entree and it didn't have any salt in it.

It's still the easiest tool that I have used and close enough for what most of us use it for.

 

[Devonviolet]

Yeah, that's the way I see it. It does a great job listing & calculating carbs, fats, protein & sodium. I just look at each meal to see if it seems right, based on past experience. If it looks wrong, I will double check it on another site. I also, on occasion have changed a number & list my source.
