What did I cook this weekend.....

[Harleybrew32]

Smoked a pork butt for my nephew's birthday

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Finally nice enough to use the grill. while I was inside getting the garlic bread ready the grill flared up, so the steak has more char than anyone would like.

I had planned to grill my thick ribeye steak last night on the Weber grill but it was just too windy out so I panfried it in the cast iron skillet with the Meater inserted dead-center in the steak. Came out perfectly! No picture though.

I also made keto peanut butter/chocolate chip ice cream yesterday. I've made a lot of flavors of ice cream since we bought that Cuisinart ice cream maker but KOTC and I agreed - this was the favorite so far! Will try to remember to take a picture of THAT later.

Pork for Tacos al Pastor from last night. Never got a picture after I shredded it and put in in tortillas with fresh pineapple and queso fresco Very tasty indeed! Probably should have waited till tomorrow for Cinco de Mayo though

3 ingredient peanut butter cookies. Its just organic peanut butter, sugar and egg. Second one also has hazelnut added. Making another batch with cashews added.

These are freakishly good and no flour of any kind is needed.

I keep meaning to try a trompo, but ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it's a lot.

I had some leftover ragu so I boiled some pasta shells, mixed with the sauce, layered it lasagna style with mozzarella from last night’s pizza, 350*F until bubbly and brown and ...walla... pasta bake.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

First run on freshly made pasta. There’s something satisfying about using the dough roller and the feel of the dough as it gets to where it needs to be for cutting.

 

[TwistedGray]

Meatloaf, mashed taters and some veggies we had leftover.

Strawberries were meant to be inverted, oops

Tuscan Mac&Cheese ala Mom because it got some canned tuna and chicken just like mom used to add to Kraft when i was young. When you were a kid that was fine dining just like slow cooked pork chops in cream of mushroom soup.

Barilla elbow pasta
Sonoma kale pesto white cheddar sauce
Pesto with Genovese basil
Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
A little cream and butter
My best Tuscan EVO
Heavy on the garlic and Tuscan no salt seasoning blend.
1 can of tuna
1 can of white meat chicken
Fresh cracked Tellicherry black pepper.

I used to love Hamburger Helper as a kid, too; however, we tried it as adults about 3-4-5-8 years ago and dumped it. WTF was I thinking...anyways that looks good ^

You can actually make a "better Kraft" or "Helper" from available powders. Cream and better cheddar powders are available on Amazon. I use the cream powder all the time for things like white chilli or gravies that need some dairy without the additional liquid.

Except now I cannot have dairy without gut woes.

You need a milk goat (or a camel)! My mom and I were both lactose intolerant so we got milk goats. After living on goat milk from 1985-1991, we can both enjoy cow milk again!

Cheddar is lactose free. Well sharp aged cheddar is anyway. The cream powder...not sure. Its mostly fat solids.

Cheese with trace levels (less than 0.5 gram lactose)

Natural, aged cheese (such as Cheddar, Parmesan and Swiss) can be digested by many people with lactose intolerance. During the cheese making process, most of the lactose is drained off with the whey (a liquid portion). The small amount that remains in the curd is changed to lactic acid during ripening (aging) of cheese. Only trace amounts of lactose remain.

Virtually no sugars in the Anthony cream powder so it should be lactose free too.
High Quality Heavy Cream Powder with 72% Butterfat

Did the Cinco de Mayo taco Tuesday thing at home. Steak, grilled chicken, homemade guacamole, and homebrew. No pics

 

[Temptd2]

Cinco de Mayo fare here too - Keto style! Cheese wraps (from Costco) contained Alaskan cod, seasoned and fried in 2" hot oil in a cast iron skillet, and diced avocado, cilantro, green onions, black olives, salsa Fresca, fermented tomatillo/jalapeno salsa, avocado crema and a little Tapatio. I forgot to take a picture of mine but snapped a quick one of KOTC's plate just before he put the sauces on his. Oh and a decidedly not-very-keto Prescott Brewing Company Liquid Amber Ale.

We've been cooking a lot of those sweet peppers this year. I toss with olive oil, salt, and Kirkland No-Salt Seasoning. Top with Parmesan and bake at 400F for about 20 minutes. So good!

We love that Kirkland no salt seasoning. Its super versatile. Nothing really slaps you in the face. I mix it with tons of my pepper powder blends. Especially anything for beans. Chilli, curries, beef stew, roasted taters, soups...works so well with lots of stuff.

 

[TwistedGray]

Thanks the seasoning recommendation : )

I grabbed some of the seeds this time, and I'll see if they germinate. If so, in the ground they go : )

I never really cared for hamburger helper, but wifey makes her version that's really good.
