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?
Hey everyone 💜 Hope everyone is doing well. I’m just lurking in the background 😝
Here’s my super quick dinner tonight. Air fryer steak bites and pork belly 🤤🤤
I finally got all the kinks out and I am now part of this wonderful community. Thank you Chris for all your help! I live in Fresno, Ca where it is still 100° 🥵 I am mostly strict carnivore with a couple ups and downs since 2023. There is something real and down to earth about Laura and Chris that I want in my life and that I want to follow 😍thank you both for all you do!
Happy Monday! I spent yesterday walking around Madrid, the weather was beautiful and I went to visit a lot of my favorite places. Had some issues sleeping with the jet lag but hopefully the rest of the week will be better. In the office today for the start of a week of great training sessions.
