Beef tenderloin with gorgonzola cheese sauce, Dungeness crab risotto (made with homemade crab stock), balsamic Brussels sprouts with bacon and raisins, and garlic sauteed mushrooms.
Cooked up a new clone recipe for Wendy's chili this morning. It surprised me. Not sure what I expected, but it's a pretty decent chili recipe (with beans). Have not had Wendy's chili in ages, so can't speak to how accurate the recipe is.
Uh - THAT statement scares me just a little!
Been to the Anderson's in Buellton and in Santa Nella many times in my life. I like split pea soup and thought theirs was good. Been MANY years since I had any of it though! And not likely to get any more, living now in AZ. AND doing keto!
Boy that looks scrumptious!

Couple rounds of c rolls,not sure if I posted this first batch (the 2 rounds). Made one big dish and they were huge. Easy thing to bring to work potluck.

Breakfast in bed
Looks a lot like the way I make it. (can't speak about taste) I like "some" beans in chili, but they are mostly just for effect so to speak. I use a spicy sausage and hamburger and also some "Clamato" & spicy V8 juice. It's never the same as there is no actual recipe, sort of like making a brew with what you got. Per usual, I'm sure it's better today (the day after).

My old standby, tender sauteed porky goodness. Now for the couch with the cat.
Steak night.

Taco night last night and will be again tonight.
Ho-made Mater soup and 6-cheese grilled cheese on sourdough batard.
Creamed asparagus and leek soup with parmesan cheese and brussel sprout cold slaw. The soup is actually bright green but it looks grayed in the pic.
Wow, two awesome looking soups in a row. Very nice!
YUM YUM at all this goodness!

Busy day!
Made some apricot banana bread. I only used a little bit of the apricots as the rest went to the wild sour, so it's light on flavor but still quite good... better in the morning
Then fired up some cherry wood for some new york strips

My son and I made a big batch of the krusteaz pancakes. They are so good. He is 8 and did great. Then we made pasta. He rolled and cut and made dough. So good, I am always shocked how good fresh pasta is. And my favorite the city of bolognas ratfied official recipe which was presented to the city by the italian academy of cuisine. So simple yet good. Wife toasted up some home made bread with butter and garlic and bag Cesar kit salad.
That not only looks great but fun too.

My wife loves Windy's chilli with onions and cheese. Recipe??
Sure. Made it in the Instant Pot. Did the 1 hour hot soak for the Navy beans. Shredded the chicken (website pic looks like the cut it in chunks). The chips, lime, and Pepper Jack cheese (not Monterey, my bad), were personal touches. Only other thing I would add is a dollop of sour cream on top.

It's delicious!!
*Edit - Removed the chicken and pureed the soup with an immersion blender then re-added the shredded chicken.
I can't vouch for how close it is to Wendy's because I have not had Wendy's chili in ages, but it is quite good and very easy to make. It was posted by Nick57 over at pizzamaking.

Thank you
Doing a cancer fundraiser at work. Made this cheesecake and told people they could help themselves and pay whatever they wanted for a slice.
Going rate varied between 2 and 20$.
Made 104$ total.

That is excellent! And that is a thing of beauty. Nice job, on both the cheesecake AND the fundraising it brought!

Son and I made stir fry last night. I love cooking with the little guy. Pecan smoked pork, little bacon, little Canadian bacon, celery, carrots, onion. Haha, this chopper worked. Anyone know what it is, my mom gave it to me at christmas. Haha, and my daughters 100 day project. She wanted a 98 mm base with two on top. Seemed weird, but turned out the two on top could have been doing anything. Skiing, on an island, watching tv, etc...we made this cute little scene, but I was impressed how this simple idea could have unfolded into any scene.

My wife looks at me and says, the kids really liked those doritos nachos. I hear I really like those doritos nachos. I did too. I think taco salad, nachos, whatever its called might be one of my favorite foods. Hope to see a pick.

Frozen the rest of the new york steak, sliced it thin, then diced it up. I made some cranberry beans from Rancho Gordo yesterday and maybe them this evening. Nachos!!
That is one thing I miss on keto - nachos! I LOVE them. I've tried it on pork rinds and it's OK but not the same taste. Taco salad is delicious and I love it but different from my beloved nachos. Those look reallllllly gooooood @TwistedGray!
