Happy Sunday! We had a wonderful dinner out last night, we never all get dressed up, let alone for an evening meal. 😂 We have church today, and then we are having skirt steak for lunch.
This afternoon I need to make a big batch of dog food for Angus for the week ahead. I do more meal prep for Angus than the rest of us. 😂😂🤪 Back when I was on a vegan diet I used to spend hours and hours every week meal prepping for the week ahead, plus I was eating 6x a day back then. I just love how much less time I have to spend more on prepping, and eating in general. I can't imagine ever going back to eating so many times a day every again.
How many times a day do you tend to eat?
Livestream tomorrow night here in Locals at 7pm EST.
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 Monday!! We ended up having a really busy weekend, ending with a very late night last night. My sleep has been so good the last week, but last night it ended up being a very short night. As much as I have been focusing on sleep, sometimes you need to just enjoy a late night out with your husband. 🥰
How are you doing this morning? Excited for another Monday? We have 2 full weeks left in October, let's make them count! What is your non-negotiable for this week? Come hang out this evening on the Livestream if you can!
Good Morning Y'all!! I didn’t post this weekend because I had a Life Relaunch event and it's just focus on it until it's over. I ate real good considering there was all kinds of snacks and sweets. Which I contributed to the sweets because I made a couple cakes for the two day event. I did eat 3 lifesaver mints and 6 altoids this weekend. But other than that I stayed on track. Here's my stats for both days. I'm tracking but I'm also eating intuitively. BLESSINGS!!
Happy Sunday!! We have some company over today so we are going to have some wagyu picanha steaks for lunch. They are my favorite but we haven't had them for a while, they got too popular so Costco raised the prices. These are from my freezer stash when the price was a lot lower (before Costco realized how popular they would be). I've been rationing the ones we have left. 😂😂.
Do you have a freezer stockpile? What is the most random thing in your freezer currently?
