Merry Christmas 🎄❤️
We are keeping things more low key than we planned, both the kids were running fevers all day yesterday. I hope you have a wonderful day today surrounded by the ones you love.
Sending big hugs and love to anyone who is alone today or missing someone special. 💔
Merry Christmas to you all. 🎄❤️🥩🦞
I don't typically love cooking with cast iron, despite the excellent results they can bring. It's messy and smells up the house. Add to that, the one we have is super old and not very good. We were recently gifted a really good one from Lancaster Cast Iron so today I decided to give it a try. We have a side burner on our Weber so I could do it outside. I sous vide a steak, then seared it in tallow on the new pan. Man it was incredible. What a difference it made from our old one. Super easy clean up too. Below is the pan, of course I forgot to take a picture of the steak haha.
Do you love using cast iron? What are some favorites you make in them?
Yesterday we surprised the kids and brought home a puppy!! They have been begging for one for years and we felt like the time was right to bring one home.
Meet Angus 🐕 He's a Golden Retriever/King Charles Cavalier Spaniel mix. He's 11 weeks old and currently weighs about 8 pounds, he should be around 35 pounds fully grown. I know it will be an adjustment for a while as he gets potty trained etc but we are so excited. 😂 Wish us luck! 🤪
Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.
What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?
Happy Tuesday! Yesterday was Chris and my 13th wedding anniversary, we forgot until mid-day when someone text us Happy Anniversary. 😂😂🤦🏼♀️ We don't do presents or do much to celebrate. The last couple of years we've been blessed to take a trip around our anniversary, this year we are going to take the kids on vacation with us but not for another couple weeks. I am very blessed in this journey to have Chris by my side. ❤️❤️❤️
Hope you have a great day!!
Happy Monday! We have one final week left in October, and here begins "the holidays" with Halloween this upcoming weekend. Even if you don't celebrate Halloween I feel like it's the start of all the treats being everywhere. I have also seen lots of people putting up Christmas trees already!
In my early years of Carnivore things like Halloween candy were SUPER tempting for me, so my one focus around this time of year was just "no candy". I would keep telling myself "next year", to try and not stress about missing out on the "limited edition ' foods (that weren't really foods). Are you feeling tempted this week? What is your non-negotiable for this week?
Good Morning Y'all!! I have learned a couple of interesting things I noticed since cutting out dairy and eggs. Not sure if the eggs have anything to do with it, but anyway on to what I have noticed. I take supplements every morning because my body has been extremely depleted of vitamins and minerals for years. Anyway I have noticed the last few days that I can take the supplements with water. Before I would have to take with food because they would get lodged in my esophagus. I didn't realize my esophagus was inflamed. Also I have noticed in my body composition that the inflammation is leaving. Also going to physical therapy doesn't hurt like it did. My muscles just get tired. I'm so excited for the end of the month to share my number results with y'all. Thanks everyone for the support. I love my tribe. BLESSINGS!!
